THE

FUND STORY

The Lord continues to bless A gift of 3000 was recently received.

This,

too,

was from one

who

had made

a

fine pledge

dur in g t he

initial

Development Fund Campaign. The Statement

of

Intention was paid

and

now this

extra gift

was

given to help

finish the job

of paying off

t he loon.

A

number

of

others

hove sent in special gifts to help.

We need

many

more

who

will

see

the

need and

will

assist us

in

ret ir ing the Development

Fund deb t

We received

a letter this

week

from a

church

that had

recently

pcrid

their Statement of Intention. The board met and

unanimously

approved

a motion to continue their

regular payments

for

another year

to

help

with the project.

God bless

all

who ore

so

gracious and understanding.

Friends in Nebraska sent us a check for 2000 the middle of January

as an

interest free

loan

to

help

cut

down our

interest

payments.

This

thoughtful gift

was deeply appreciated.

If

you would

like to

help

out in

this

way, we would be

hear

from you.
