I wanted to make it clear that NO MINISTRY FUNDS EVER, EVER GO TO FUND MUSIC PROJECTS, AND THEY HONESTLY NEVER HAVE. All of the donations we get in for LTW go to cover costs for Bibles and witnessing materials and supplies in our evangelistic table locations. This ministry is very, very expensive to maintain well in that every location not only has to have strong materials ordered, but we have to keep the materials current, which requires ongoing orders and an ongoing budget for every location. I almost had a heart attack when Mike Gendron told me recently that the order I placed for LTW to have materials for Catholics at the table outreaches at Louisiana State Penitentiary and Boston and Switzerland equaled 850.00! It all adds up, and we thank God for every single donation. We have never solicited funds, and the ministry has always been sustained by word of mouth and funded as God burdens people to give. (There is no time for "marketing" any way, and the thought certainly never crosses my mind!) When we have gotten any small grants from foundations, those donations have come in the same way every other donation has come in---God burdens someone to give to this outreach effort, and no one is ever asked to give. The bookkeeper for the ministry told me the other day that it is truly amazing how much God brings in to LTW--never too much, but always just enough to meet our needs.
