A Critical Need
Due to the tragic events of 9/11/01 and the downturn in the American economy, WEI has lost several large monthly contributions. Look at the financial statements on pages 5 and 6 of this Update and you will see that we desperately need more funding in order to keep WEI afloat. We are experiencing a shortfall of $2,000 or $3,000 a month, and I don’t have enough time to raise the needed funds before leaving the country.
By the time you read this newsletter, I will be in Albania-leading a summer campaign. I hate to leave Maudine here to deal with the financial crisis alone. She can’t go out and speak to churches and raise the funds that are needed.
Nevertheless, I refuse to worry about the problem. I don’t know how I can raise money and lead a campaign for Christ at the same time. I can’t cancel the campaign at this late date, so the only thing we can do is to put it in the hands of God. He knows where the resources are, and he can supply our needs.
If you or your congregation can add WEI to your monthly budget, please do so immediately. Let’s work together to share the Good News to every man, woman, and child on earth.
Thanks, Beloved Friends
Take another glance at the financial statements on pages 5 and 6 (over 180 contributors, many churches) and notice how many friends and churches are generously sharing their resources with us. What can we say, except, “Thank you!”
We wouldn’t trade our friends for all the money in the world. We love you.
—Dick and Maudine Ady
