We had a good year end, and we are grateful for all the donations that came in over the holidays. It is always a blessing to see the Lord provide. We started 2025 in a good spot financially. Unfortunately, in January we had some setbacks. We lost $950 per month in support. This mostly came from losing a church partner and two individual monthly partners. In all cases, it was the result of changing circumstances that required financial adjustments for the donors. All were long term partners, and we are grateful for the role they played over the years in funding and praying for the work in Brazil and Thailand.
Setbacks are part of serving the Lord. Walking by faith requires the exercise of faith which requires hardship. The Lord is certainly capable of bringing new partners to take up the mantle from the previous ones. This is a large enough sum of money that our work will be adversely affected if we cannot find new supporters to continue keeping our work funded. Ideally, new partners committing to $50 to $100 per month will be a huge blessing. If you cannot commit to monthly giving, you can make a single donation to help cover the shortfall for 2025 while we cultivate new partnerships. You can give online www.livingbread.org/give.
