Effective October 2025, we are going paperless!
After much prayer and seeking the Lord, we believe this is the right thing to do currently. Our economy is challenging to say the least, and everyone has been impacted, some in small ways, others in larger ways. We have also heard from other ministries that giving has declined, so we know we are not alone in that respect. This is not an appeal for funds; we have no intention of pressing anyone to give beyond their means.
Instead, we are re-evaluating our expenses and identifying ways to reduce our costs while still supporting the Lord’s work in India. Several years ago, we introduced an email version of the newsletter, along with the option of online giving. More than 30% of our partners have now moved to paperless, and many of you are giving online as well. By moving everyone to paperless, we will be able to redirect thousands of dollars from printing and postage costs and put those resources directly into the mission field.
We trust that you will understand and support us in this move. We realize for some of you this might be more challenging. If for some reason you won’t be able to receive our email newsletter, please write or call us, using the contact information above, and we will try to work with you as much as we are able.
One thing that will remain on paper: you will continue to receive year-end giving statements if we have a current mailing address on file. The same holds true for periodic receipts, although these will probably be mailed quarterly going forward.
For those who are willing and able to switch to email, thank you for your continued support. I hope you understand this decision was made with the desire to be good stewards of this ministry, and to honor your giving. Please make sure we have a current email address. Thank you once again for standing with us in prayer and your financial gifts! Together we will see the testimony of Jesus grow in India! “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” (Habakkuk 2:14 NASB)
Blessings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus,
Thomas
