I am spending the night tonight with my dad in East TN. I have been on the phone a lot today, catching up on work. Soon to come: updates from Boulder, NYC, Venice Beach, West Hollywood, and the Rio Grande Valley. (It has been too cold recently to set up outside of Gatlinburg at our outreach table to tourists of the Smoky Mountain National Park.)
I have been in touch with our current web designer, who has done such a wonderful job DONATING her time to this ministry. However, she has gotten busier with work and has no time to keep our web site updated. We have a new designer in Atlanta. Though he is not working with us for free, he is working for a fair price. Bottom line is we have to get this site updated. We are behind on new outreach locations, as well as an online store to sell tracts and booklets we have written, as well as music CDs.
We have also bought the domain for a site to be constructed for the lost, owned by this ministry. We won't have any links to LTW on the new site, and my name will not be mentioned. This separate site will be conducive for follow-up with lost people long after they leave our table outreach locations. The new site will teach them how to be saved based on Scripture. We will have the url on all of our books and tracts. However, I have to get the site done. This is another top priority, especially since we have paid for the url for this site, and the money is being wasted unless we get it up and running. I left a message for our current web designer to get me any details to give to a new web designer in Atlanta to get this going.
That being said, God is in control, and He has the perfect timing for all things. We have all been working as hard as possible, and there is only so much we can do. The team leaders are encouraged, despite hard times. Dan, our leader in West Hollywood and Long Beach, is finding daily encouragement and provision from God during a time of extremely tight finances. When details change, God is not caught off guard. We are learning to lean more on Him as He leads.
I am praying for more funds to continue to make shipments to the Philippines monthly, plus Mexico, as we are speaking to Christians about a starting a new table of apologetics there in Baja California.
