In the face of challenges
0 commentsActually you guys would not be able to fully appreciate the stresses of sustaining this outreach effort. The stress is not only from our outreach work alone but also in raising enough funding.
Just to give you a rough gauge, our outreach can potentially run up in excess of 12,000 each month. Our fund raising trips run every few months, each of these assuming we have 6 pax - we are able to raise some 6 X 200 = 1200.
So in order to cover our operating overheads, we would need to run at least 10 trips every month. But for the past 1 year, we have a total of 5 FRT trips in that year.
Many times I feel like just giving up .... in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Its the challenge of running a business to provide jobs, running a huge ministry that reaches hundreds to thousands..... without anything. Many times it feels that we are all alone in this work, especially when we are personally not financially supported.
But then I'm reminded of the story of David vs Goliath, its always through situations where its humanly impossible... its then that we have an opportunity to see God's miraculous provision happen.
Pray with us.
