“Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor, for we are God’s fellow workers…”

I Corinthians 3:8,9a

Together we are entering our 40th year of God’s work among the children of greater East Texas. Thank you for continuing in prayer and financial support. Together we have touched the lives of more than 285,876 boys and girls, with 4,822 recorded decisions for Christ. The results we can safely leave to God.

As for our financial report, with expenses increasing significantly the past year, we need $6,427.00 each month. For the next few months I will make a special effort to ask God for an increase in giving and share with God’s people this need. We can and will accomplish this goal because our God is faithful to provide for His work among children. If 130 new partners give $50. each month our budget for 2017 will be met.

What can you do to help?

• Pray. We are several hundred strong. Join me in one voice asking our Heavenly Father for $2,643.00 in new monthly support.
• Continue to give. Regular donors may increase their monthly support to account for today’s inflation. This will help so much.
• Begin to give. Many have been unable to give in the past. Your prayer support and hands-on work keeps this ministry going strong. Maybe you’ll be one of the new donors that will fill the need for monies to pay the bills.
• Attend our fund-raising banquet, Peculiar in Polka-Dots, Nov.12. All monies raised at this special event will go towards completing this year’s needs, and increase donor support for 2017. This will be a great time for G.R.C.M. to come together in strength and purpose.

I look forward to hearing from you and/or to see you on November 12.
