March Need
March Need
March 9, 2023
by Scott Nordstrom
Unfortunately, funding continues to struggle to keep pace with needs in the field as we move through the first several months of 2023.
Internally, we are shifting to rely on funding designated for specific initiatives to insure funding for needs in the field. As can be seen by the below graphic, we are desperately short in each of our four initiatives. Since December we have funded these shortfalls from our General Fund which has depleted our cash reserve, which wasn’t anything substantial anyway. After three months of funding these needs in the field at a monthly deficit, we are now down to less than one month of resources on hand. Our funding need for March is as follows:
We are now preparing to decrease services that we provide, suspend some of our mission projects, and potentially terminating several of our commitments. This process is never easy because each of these children are so very dear to us.
We were blessed to have 239 funding partners in 2022, and each one of the people are so important in the Kingdom. We would like to add to our movement by growing our clan, which will enable us to serve the growing number of children in the field. Global Orphan Relief is one of the great values for investing Kingdom resources as we work to bring up the next generation.
There are up to five ways for you to get involved:
Set-up a monthly gift;
Consider a one-time gift;
If you are already a funding partner, consider telling a friend or family member about the wonderful work that you are accomplishing through Global Orphan Relief.
Pray for this ministry. Pray for wise decision making and that the children receive all that they need.
Consider how you might advance the cause of orphan children through serving in some way.
So many of you have contributed to this important work over the last 17-years and I am confident that we have just gotten started… Thank you for your prayerful consideration in this matter.
