We're all in this together!

On a dark and stormy night long ago on a small fishing boat in the middle of the Sea of Galilee, Jesus’ Disciples were caught in the midst of violent raging wind and waves. They were fearful that they would all be lost. Jesus walked to them on that very turbulence and said to them: “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid” (Mt. 14:27).

We are in the midst of a crashing economic storm. Perhaps some of you are tired of hearing about it. We would be ostriches of the highest degree if we didn’t know something about what is happening around us and at least feel some fear and trepidation about the future.

Elijah House’s boat is braving the same storm as is everyone else. Although we had been doing better than many parachurch organizations, this last week we were unable to make our payroll and at this moment cannot pay the bills that are due. We are choosing to stay focused on Jesus, for what we focus on becomes that which can overwhelm us. We are looking for ways we can reorganize and “go lean” wherever possible, our goal is that ministry itself will not be curtailed. We know how rumors get started, so I’ll say loud and clear: “Elijah House is not going under, and we have no plans to decrease our ministry output.”

Would you please consider what I am about to propose? Often, we think we can’t do much; “My small gift isn’t even worth sending, what difference could $5.00 make in relation to such a great need?” But many small gifts will turn the tide and calm our storm. Will you help us? We are asking the Lord to encourage and enable 10,000 of you to start sending just $5.00 per month. Together we can weather the storm. Your small gift will be a great blessing to us and those who are wanting, waiting, and hoping for access to this life changing message from Elijah House.

Most of you are experiencing this worldwide storm as well. We are praying for you. During a recent intercession time, one of our precious prayer warriors gave us some words of encouragement. I want to pass them on to you! “Never doubt in the darkness what you have heard God speak to you in the light.” And “It is always too early to give up on God.”

Keep your eyes and your focus on Jesus. “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”


Sincerely,
