WHY WE TALK ABOUT FINANCES
Our work in Colombia is not-for-profit and we, as well as our work associates depend entirely upon the generous gifts and contributions of people interested in sharing their resources with those who build the Kingdom of God. Our mission is to do all we can to build His great Kingdom, both here in Colombia and among worldwide unengaged Mus_lim peoples. The only net result we have ever been able to show those who have so generously given over the years are the lives of those who have been transformed by virtue of our work and our lives, both here and abroad.  

In Colombia our principal focus is to recruit, train and then do all we can to mobilize Colombian workers to become agents of transformation in similar fashion, especially among Mus_lim peoples in far-and-distant lands. We have been a part of some already sent out and continue to be in relationship with many others that we've come to know. There are many reasons we do this work; stay connected to this website and you'll learn why.  And feel free to ask questions; we'll do our best to get back to you with a cogent response.

WHAT OUR FINANCIAL OUTLOOK IS AT PRESENT
In a word, our personal finances continue to wane. However, in light of this reality we see with each and every month the Almighty hand of God in every area of our lives, not excluding our finances... we just seem to make it each and every month!  This can only be testimony to the faithfulness of God Almighty and His move upon His people. In some strange and marvelous way we watch each month how God provides; He is indeed good and benevolent, and we choose to continue waiting on Him in 2014 for such great and awesome displays of His provision.

Having said this and believed all the above, we are also cognizant to the fact that 2014 holds new challenges for us with not only our work taking us to SE Asia, but also presenting additional costs for continued personal study. We calculate the additional need in 2014 for covering these expenses to be approximately $4,000.oo.  

Let me end with this promising report... 
The $4,000.oo figure above is shared with the hope that God might lead someone to see this as a 'Matching Grant' opportunity, in light of the fact that the iG29 team, within the month of this December received a Colombian donation for what essentially equals the $4,000.oo figure; a contribution to be used for the SE Asia short-term outreach. Did you catch this? The donation was Colombian! This is the first time we've ever seen such a large one-time sum given by any Colombian donor for work to the 'unengaged Mus_lim peoples!  So, I ask... any takers for a 'Matching Grant'?
