Greetings all,

This is just a short note to say thanks to everyone who was able to dig deep and help Geneva Push help church planters during our fundraising drive over the past five weeks.

I’m pleased to report that we were able to raise $46,000 towards our running costs for 2012 and we have several promising grant applications to help fill up the remainder. If you could take a moment to pray for a positive outcome that would be much appreciated; we should know the results by the end of next week.

This is also a great opportunity to praise the little groups and individuals who gave “…gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.” (2 Cor. 8:3). We’ve had several large donations from church planters whose congregations are only just out of the starting blocks. We’ve also had ten people sign up to give $50 a month, showing that even a little can mean a lot to an organisation like ours.

Frankly we’re very encouraged and hope that you will be too. If you’d like to help us out, we’re always happy to hear from you. In fact Scott Sanders will be calling people who’ve already expressed an interest in the coming weeks so be prepared to give him a warm greeting. But for now we’ll stop the official fundraising now and get on with our primary goal: encouraging and raising up church planters.

Thanks and God bless,

Mark Hadley
