Dear friends and family:
As my family prepares to move to Albuquerque in the next week, I wanted to update you on our progress as we seek to begin the work of church planting in the Duke City this fall.
God has blessed your financial giving and prayers for us! Look at what has happened in the past few months:
-Nearly $91,000 has been raised
-We were able to sell our home in Louisiana, despite the chaos caused by the Gulf Oil Spill
-We were able to find a home in Albuquerque, in exactly the area of town we are 'targeting'. (In fact, the elementary, middle and high schools our sons will attend are all less than a mile away!)
Here are a few prayer requests to bring to the Lord on our behalf:
-We still have $30,000 + to raise. Pray especially that churches will get involved. God has brought us this far, so far...and I have no doubt He can raise this money!
-Pray for our family's transition to New Mexico, especially for Noah and Caleb. For me and Carrie, this is going home...for our boys, this will be all brand new.
-Pray that August will be a good month of getting settled, meeting neighbors, and getting 'geared up' for the next phase of church planting (meeting and gathering people, beginning a Bible study, etc.)
If there's any way we can be praying for you, it would be our privilege to do so!
All of God's grace to you,
Dan Rose
