Praise be to God, we have been making progress on several fronts!
PROJECT 500
Our goal is to raise an additional $2,000 in monthly support so that we can switch to full time ministry and spend an additional 500 hours every year reaching Jewish people for Messiah. We have been working hard to connect with friends and churches from all over, share our vision, and invite others to partner with us. God has provided 11 new financial partners, totaling $635 in monthly giving! Our fundraising project is 31% completed, but this has been difficult and often discouraging. Please pray that God would raise up more financial partners for our ministry, and provide the finances we need to continue this work He has called us to do.
HOST ISRAELIS/PLANET ZULA
We are almost finished with the technology for CPM’s Israeli hosting network! I built the website for Host Israelis (the Christian host-facing side) in June, and we are now finishing up the development of the Planet Zula (the Israeli-facing side) mobile apps. You can check out the website hostisraelis.com, and learn more about our network there.
HOLY DAYS STUDY
Because of the huge success of Carissa’s Bible study last semester (475 women joined!), she and her team are repeating the study this Fall! This women’s study is on the Biblical Holy Days that God ordained (Leviticus 23), how they each point to Jesus, and their significance to believers today. Any women interested in joining this study may contact Carissa at [email protected].
PERSONAL UPDATE
In case you missed it, our house is full of mold which might be making us all very sick, so we’re moving. God graciously provided a buyer for our house, and we closed on August 25th. We have not yet found a new house, and are currently planning to live in our trailer until we do. Please pray for us to trust God with all of this, and wait on His timing as we look for a mold-free house and pursue healing.
Thank you for your continued prayer and support for us and our ministry, we sure do appreciate you.
BJ, Carissa and Ari
