Please Pray!

Hello faithful prayer partners and financial supporters!

Carrie and I are doing well. We are setting up our classrooms this week, and we’ve been putting in many hours getting them ready. The first day of school is quickly approaching as school starts next Monday (August 25).

We have been having meetings every morning and in one of these meetings we found out that the Austrian Government has just raised the amount that foreigners have to have coming in so they can stay in the country. Well, this amount is not encouraging but I know that the Lord has his hand on the whole situation and He will provide. We currently have to prove that we are raising $2,400 per person per month to make visa requirements. This is a $300 increase from the original amount. So, this means that we are currently struggling financially and will go into debt with RCE (our sending agency) rather quickly. We really need your prayers and any ideas about where we can turn to raise the needed monthly support. We have already heard many stories about the ways that children’s lives were changed last year, and we are so excited to start our ministry this school year.

God Bless,
Amanda and Carrie
