Financial Update

I am continually amazed at the way in which God’s people respond to financial difficulties.

To say that the issues facing tranzsend is a financial one is not true.  We face a need to understand, collectively, what we should be doing together in World Mission.

And here are some figures to Praise God for:

tranzsends Deficit Appeal, via the Open letter send out in June has raised $86,312.70 so far.

There have been a number of individuals who have sacrificially given to help us.  I’ve read some of the names and I know many of them… I am truly humbled by each and every gift.  Churches have helped through special appeals or made specific grants in response to our needs.

Our general giving has gone up since June.  We estimate a further $15-20,000 from this giving channel.

Those who have are doing our annual appeal Prayer and Self Denial during this period are setting new records for giving.  A number of churches have doubled, tripled and nearly quadrupled their normal giving pattern.  We estimate an additional $50-60,000 from this giving channel.

Are we in recession?  Yes we are BUT we who call ourselves Christian and give like this understand the higher purpose of the task of Mission and the need to adequately resource it.

May each of you be abundantly blessed, may your Church be blessed.

Thank you so much….

Bless you, PJ
