Update on Virginia (Possible New Location of Outreach)

I spoke with the leader of an outreach to the poor in VA today, and, after discussing a partnership for almost a year now, we decided that it would be best to not partner.

LTW shipped her a box of Bibles for the outreach last spring which cost over 100.00, and she assures us that the box has been used, and that she has given away cases of Bibles this summer, but she has not had time to send photos or an update. She is a good friend to this ministry and a precious Christian, "fighting the good fight" of faith through service to God and others by sharing the Gospel. She understood, though, when I explained that we cannot partner without letting donors know how the resources are being used through ministry updates and photos. She even offered to pay LTW back for the case of Bibles we sent, but I told her that was not necessary. God bless her as she works with members of her church in outreach to the poor and needy in Virginia.

It is a reminder that this ministry, LTW, belongs to God. We can only expand where He leads, as He leads. At this time, we are no longer planning on expanding to Virginia through a partnership in a table outreach there.
