Part of what I will be doing this next year is raising funds to support many aspects of my life. The CRC has very graciously given us a stipend to buy some of our time, but as is the case with all church plants, this money isn’t even enough to live off of, let alone cover expenses that we may incur for the development of Kai.
As I write this I am just emerging from a dream. As is the case with many of my dreams I don’t remember it, but what I do remember is that the moment I woke up the phrase, “pray-seed-money” was repeating in my conscious stream of thought. So, i’m guessing the dream had something to do with that?
So this is why I am posting.
Kai has three major aspects (mission, relationship, spirituality). One of the ways that Kai will meet its mission is to be an active participant in the economy of our neighborhood — namely through a small business. Over the past 6-8 months I have been in conversation with a few people as to what this small business might be, and am in the process of having a market research company do some work for me to figure out the market i am entering into. But apart from having a heart and a calling to open a small business not much else is in place yet — especially finances.
So once again, this is a call to those of you that believe in the power of prayer. My subconscious told me I needed it and so this is a plea for prayer for a couple people to come along side Kai and say, “I believe in you and your mission, and I want to show you that through supplying you with seed money” And as you pray, if you see or hear a response (of any kind) please let me know.
