“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;"

Philippians 4:6

Dear Ministry Partner,

I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve with CCI. This ministry in Indonesia continues to grow and expand to new areas with several new teachers being added to the team.

This has happened primarily because of our move from a more rural area in Manokwari, that had limited travel opportunities, to a more urban area in Makasar, that allowed for more convenient travel to other islands and less time away from my family.

Our kids are also growing up quicker than we can imagine. With our kids getting older and the change in ministry location, we are also experiencing much higher expenses like:

• Food cost is much higher than before due to COVID issues. 
• Travel cost has increased greatly due to rising oil prices.
• We were trying to sell our house in Manokwari before we moved, but no one was interested. So, we were renting it to cover our monthly mortgage payment. This past month the renter moved out and we have not found a new renter. So, we are having to pay the monthly mortgage until we find a buyer or renter.
• Our oldest daughter, Joane, will start university this year. The cost for tuition fees are four time higher than what it cost us when she was in high school.

What does all this mean?

The monthly support we receive from CCI has been a blessing from the Lord. God has raised up people who faithfully invest in this ministry each month. Some people have given one-time gifts to help with our ministry as well. We praise the Lord for this.

However, to meet these increased expenses, we are in need of an additional $300 per month to meet these needs. We are praying and trusting the Lord like we have been doing since I became the National Director of Indonesia several years ago.

We are asking the Lord to provide for this increase. We are sharing this with you so you can also join us in prayer for this request. We know the Lord has the answer to meet this need.

Will you join us in prayer for this increase of $300 per month?

We look forward to hearing from you assuring us of your prayers. Please send us a note letting us know you are praying. Email us: flumba@cciequip.org

Will you consider if the Lord would have you help meet this need with a commitment of monthly support or a substantial one-time gift?
