We've had a rough week. 2 bad things happened.
-
For more than two years, we had a donor who faithfully gave $1,500 per month. What an amazing blessing! But we have just been notified by the donor that their $1,500 donations will stop in two years. (We're grateful for the notice, but that end date will come quicker than we think!)
We have two years to make up $1,500 in monthly donations to keep afloat. God has used this donor to literally keep us on the Mission Field, and now we need others, like you, to give to make up the large decrease.
We believe the work we're doing is important and eternal and that God is directing the work.
If a number of people give $25, and $50, and $100 per month, we're confident we won't need to leave the Mission Field.
-
And if that weren’t bad enough, we learned that our health insurance will increase by $442 per month effective immediately.
We've looked into Christian "health sharing" ministries, but we've got too many pre-existing conditions to make it an option.
And that leads to the GOOD NEWS… We just found out that we were awarded a $10,000 matching grant for us to continue reaching the world for Jesus and training Christians!!!! This happened about a week after the bad news. God’s timing!!! But because it’s a “matching grant,” we need YOUR help to collect it. If you were considering partnering with us in the ministry by giving a monthly or one-time gift, now is a great time to do it as your gift will be doubled! Here’s how it works: If you are not currently one of our monthly supporters:
If you are one of our monthly supporters:
The Foundation that awarded us this matching grant believes what we’re doing is vital and we are grateful and humbled! This work is important. The unsaved are hearing the gospel lovingly, Biblically, and urgently. And Christians are being built up and trained to be more effective Ambassadors for Christ. To learn how to donate, please go to: http://donate.Luke-15.org. Or call John Cutlip at the Open Air Campaigners Main Office and tell him you want to support the Sohmer Family. Would you please prayerfully consider supporting this gospel ministry? With the matching grant, it's a great time to do that! And please share this need with your friends, Church, Pastor, Mission Director, etc. We'd be happy to talk/meet with them about what we do and what our needs are! Your referrals are tremendously helpful!!! Every single Church that supports our work happened because a member of the Church referred us to the Pastor or Missions Leader. So you asking your Church to invite us to serve with you by coming to speak or teach is tremendously helpful. We thank God for your friendship, prayers, financial support, and encouraging notes! We couldn't be reaching the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ without you! The work God is doing through us is important and is changing lives and bringing people to Jesus. Please consider giving to this essential work. |
We depend on monthly regular donations to keep going. Please consider a monthly donation to allow us to continue to reach the lost for Jesus Christ! Even $10 per month would help bring the gospel to those who would otherwise not hear it.
Whatever your role, whether it be going or sending, you are an essential part of the work that God is doing. Your reward in Heaven will be beyond what you can imagine.
To learn how to donate, please go to: http://donate.Luke-15.org. Or call John Cutlip at the Open Air Campaigners Main Office and tell him you want to support the Sohmer Family. John’s number is (610) 746-0508.
We're trusting Jesus to go GREAT things! We pray He will use all of us to be effective Ambassadors for Christ. Let's all reach out to the Lost wherever we are, because the Lost are wherever we are. God bless you!
We love you and thank Jesus for you!
Please contact us anytime and let us know how we can pray for you!
