We’re guessing there’s not a missionary in the world that isn’t facing a financial crunch in this current economy. We are feeling the crunch of inflation on almost every level. We’ve not needed to ask for a “raise” in our support package for some time, but find it necessary to do so this year. Here are our current needs/challenges:
Our boy’s education: A child in high school and even our home school materials have increased our need. We need to raise an additional $300 a month for this area.
Housing: the cost of renting and maintaining a house here is growing at a very inflated rate. Last year, we moved out of our house in Maputo because the landlord chose to double our rent. Still, we need to raise additional funds in the amount of $300 per month.
Work Funds: Due the drop in the value of the dollar and SA Rand, political influences in South Africa and Zimbabwe, we are experiencing inflated prices in Fuel (over 6.00 a gallon) and in many areas of cost of living we are experiencing up to an 85% increase. Do to these reasons, we are in need of raising an additional 300.00 a month in our work funds. These funds keep us on the road, enable us to be good stewards of mission property, and do the business that keeps us legal and free to do the work we came to do.
Total monthly need: 900.00 a month!
Blessings,
