• I would appreciate your prayers and thoughts…

    June 14, 2008

    When I started the year and began to study the course I am doing, it was planned that Forge Victoria would continue to pay me half-a-day a week to do graphics and manage the website for Forge. But, for many reasons beyond my control, and I might add, very unhappily, I was told earlier that they could not afford to do so. The problem was, I had budgeted for the money, it was going to pay the college fees for the year!

    So, I found myself not long into my course with no income. I applied for and now receive Austudy - the Aussie Gov’t’s financial, ahhh, “contribution” to help you through the course. This is of course for a full-time course and with a family. So, since then we have been getting by and I have been busy searching for a part-time job to help pay the bills and keep the wolf from the door!

    Well, it is now June and I have yet to land a job. Yes, I have been applying for many, and yes, I continue to search for a suitable part-time position. I have had a few interviews, and had the same amount of rejections.

    So, why do I tell you this?

    Firstly to ask for your intervention and prayers for my family and I throughout this year, and secondly to see if you would consider donating to my support through this widget.

    Why, you may ask, would I help, you aren’t a missionary or a church worker? But, yes I am! I am studying the course to equip myself and the church better in community welfare work, as well as using the skills I have and I am learning to work in the community we live in. I consider myself and my family missionaries to the first world, Australia, Victoria, Melbourne, Mooroolbark.

    So, please pray for us, in particular that I could find a suitable part-time position to help support my family through the year, and that we would be able to continue to bless and work within the community as we have done through the Dining Room and our work with the schools. Also, that we can become part of what God is doing in this area!

    Thanks in advance!
