Fundraising has started.

Hi everyone!

     Sorry it has been a month.... wow we have been busy. Since coming back from orientation we have been able to meet with our fundraising coach on a weekly basis. We have been learning so much from her and are excited to say that we have started the fundraising process.

     As summer has arrived we are looking forward to hopefully heading out to meet with family and friends who are not in our area.  It is exciting to get to share our heart and passion and make partners for the ministry.  We are so thankful that God has provided us with amazing families and friends, along with coaches to keep us encouraged as we start this next phase of the journey.  Praise the Lord we are 3% funded!!

    We have finalized our brochure and are looking into getting it printed, this will have a summary of our ministry along with simple statistics and facts about England. Some of these fats are that while in England 49% of all people claim no religious affiliation and less than 2% claim to be born again Christians. Church attendance in England is the lowest in all of Europe at only 6%.
   Through our research we have learned that people in England struggle with anxiety, depression, and self harm at higher rates than most of Europe.  We also learned that in England the highest cause of death in men between the ages of 25 and 45 is suicide.

    Hearing these facts can be saddening and disheartening, but we serve a God of love and hope. He is powerful enough to effect the hearts of these people and radically change their lives and environments.
