December has been a great month in many ways. ProMETA is going to finish the month in the black (financially), Judy finished the fall term successfully with only one second grader not returning next month, and, on the 14th we will be leaving for the States for two weeks with family in Chicago and Ft. Lauderdale. Unfortunately we won't be able to see Kris, Hanjo, Kyla and Kiara so that visit will need to wait. But God is good and we look forward to our time with family.
We've had a few inquiries regarding personal support. Honestly, we're more concerned about ProMETA's financial status, but I did notice that December has not been a good month for either ProMETA or our personal support. Because our support figures are based on 12 month averages, this month looks rather meager as we have dropped to a little over $1,000 per month in support lacking. We'll see how the month finishes, but it looks like we will probably end the year around $600 a month lacking. It's been an interesting year support-wise since we'veactually been totally supported for one month (September) and never more than $292 per month lacking until December.We pray that 2011 will be a great year for both the ministry and personal support as we press on with equipping Latin America's leaders.
Although I've not been able to confirm the report yet, I was told that we've had over 70 applications for the January term. Although most of those applications will not materialize for this next term we are always encouraged by the many leaders who do begin the application process because some of those applications are kept on file and eventually materialize as ProMETA students.
