An Update on Our Financial Support



Out for a Saturday afternoon walk by the Nile River.

As we are adjusting to life here in Uganda, we are also adapting to prices of items here. Having lived here for roughly a month, we can already conclude that certain items are far more expensive than back in the US and others are not.

As we continue to modify our budget accordingly, we thought it would be helpful to post an update on our support raising for anyone interested in supporting us or anyone who has questions. We cannot be more thankful for the ways God has provided for us financially through our friends and family, as well as those we don't even know, but who have given in light of seeing the work we're a part of!



Through gracious support, we can purchase typical items such as these mattresses we bought for our new home.

Current Finance Report
Many of you know we have raised 100% of the support which IJM budgeted for us to raise. What may not be known is the amount raised through IJM is not quite enough for us being in Uganda as a family of 3, soon to be 4.

The amount we were allowed to raise is the same amount budgeted for IJM personnel whether single or with a family. Hence, for a single person this amount will suffice. For a family, it is doable, but it is very tight.

In light of this, we began a while back raising additional support through our home church in Jacksonville, FL for out going expenses and the purchase of a vehicle. In the time we have been here we have come to realize that we need to continue raising additional support in order to help offset additional start-up expenses and regular budgetary items which exceed the amount of support raised through IJM.

We would be humbled and honored to have you financially support us during this next year either regularly and/or through special occasional gifts. If you feel led to do so, please visit the Start up & Support page of our blog for more details.

For those of you who have been supporting us monthly or through special gifts, we cannot thank you enough for you gracious offering. Words cannot describe what it means to us to have such wonderful people in God's economy giving so faithfully. Truly, God's love and provision is being experienced in our lives through you.
