Our year of new beginnings began with some sobering news. Our plans to go to Mongolia with CAMA Services in July may be in jeopardy. CAMA sent out 15 couples and 3 singles last year. PRAISE GOD! Unfortunately though, this new growth has caused some growth pains resulting in a deficit.
How does this affect us? Basically, those of us who were projected to leave summer 2008 will not be able to go without funding. God continues to remind us that we plan our path, but He directs our steps! Our options:
1. Deploy as scheduled if CAMA receives enough funding by March.
2. A delayed deployment in Jan 09 or July 09 when funds come in.
3. Raise support and work a functional/practical budget to go IFAP (International Fellowship of Alliance Professionals).
• We will need to raise approximately $2,000 a month for living allowance and development projects for the next 2 years.
• Funds have to be marked for “Larry and Krista Lain IFAP” in the memo block to show that support will be sufficient for deployment
4. Go back to school to do some work on Larry’s M.A. (Probably AGS/ Alliance Graduate School in the Philippines) or wherever the Lord leads.
Our hearts are aching for the people in Mongolia who have not heard. Only 15 years ago there were only 4 known Christians in the entire country. Now God is opening up doors and the harvest is plentiful but the workers are so few.
We are rallying up an army of prayer warriors and financial supporters!
Rally: to bring back to action, to rally one’s spirit, to call on people to come together, uniting for a common purpose, regroup military forces and reestablish God’s command
