Campaign!

We have just less than 40 days left in the year of 2015. It has been a year of surprises, disappointments, pain, joy, and seeing the Lord’s faithfulness more than ever before. Matthew 6 speaks about the out God taking care of us more than anything else in creation and Kayla and I have seen that to be true without exception and without end especially this year. 

Living the life of a support raising missionary is by no means easy. My work week is divided, in part, by the need to work on the assignments and projects I am presently on; along with the reality that we must raise support in order to live in this world. It is a frustrating place to be, but because of it we are able to rely so fully and completely on the sovereign faithfulness of our precious Lord.

We are currently in an end of year period attempting to raise as much monthly support as possible by the end of the calendar year! 40 days is not a whole lot of time, but it is MORE than enough time for our great God to perform the miracle needed in our support.

Due to this end of year push I have decided to run my own “Kickstarter” type campaign! The reason it is here rather than actually on Kickstarter is so that 1) the support goes through Wycliffe Associates for our benefit. And 2) you can get a tax receipt by donating to a fully recognized Non-Profit!

One time, lump sum gifts are wonderful, spectacular, and fantastic. However, recurring, monthly gifts are of most importance and most benefit. I will never snuff my nose at someone desiring to give once to the cause of Bible translation, but I will always encourage them to split that sum up into monthly installments so that their donation has longevity rather than merely altitude.

We are going to shoot to the moon with this “Kickstarter” campaign and go for full support which we have not had for the last 14 months.

CAMPAIGN: $3200.00 per month.

WHAT DO I DO?:

It would take up far too much room on this post to explain the unique and rather complicated position that I hold at Wycliffe Associates, but you can CLICK HERE to read all about what it is that I do. In a nut shell I work with a team of skilled individuals working from original language texts in order to create a resource, a tool, to make Bible translation easier, faster, and more efficient.

WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?:

This is somewhat of a complicated question. Kayla and I  (and our baby due in June) live in Appleton, Wisconsin. We are full-time domestic stateside missionaries. That being said we are held to the same type of taxation and IRS requirements as anyone else is that makes income in the US. The money you donate goes directly into my “Ministry account” which in turn goes to 1) my semi-monthly paychecks because we have to be able to live, 2) promotional materials to assist in more effectively spreading the word about Bible translation because the more people that know the more that can happen, and 3) build up in my “ministry account” so at such time as there is enough I can travel internationally and assist with MAST trips.
