What, why us??? – continued (some more truly incredible news)
Alright, so the saga continues. We had our year-end board meeting and were looking at next year’s budget. Part of the concern for 2010 is that we would be basically loosing about 100K in support. 50K from the Angel donor (the grant ended in 09) and another 50K from the boys home (they closed down at the end of 09). The board meeting ended and we were tasked with figuring out how we were going to make up that 100K.
Right before Christmas I received a call from Kelly (one of the executers of the organization that gave us the 50K and the van. She said that they had one more vehicle left, a truck and asked if we could use it. It is in incredible condition with a hitch, canopy, extended bed and seating for 6. It is perfect for our climbing program. So, I told her that we could certainly us it.
A week later I let Kelly know that the paperwork for the truck was finalized and she could pull it off their insurance. At the end of our conversation, she told me that they had some additional funds that they were distributing to all of the organizations that they already gave to and that she was telling me this to let me know that we would be receiving another check from them. I did not know what to say. We had already been so blessed by them that there was not really anything that I could say or do that would express our gratefulness. Well, a couple days later the check arrived in the mail and believe it or not it was for $99,800. That is $200 short of our need for this year. Being a part of this ministry and seeing God work in amazing ways has been such a blessing to me. He continues to pour fourth goodness upon His ministry, Peak 7.
