Keep standing strong during these hard times Andrew. My prayer now is that these hard times simply mark a transition to even greater things and wider influence. Heb. 12:7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? Your response now will be pivotal to determining the direction your ministry ends up going. God says that he who can be trusted with little can be trusted with much, and I believe that you are showing everyone that you are indeed trustworthy with little. We who have followed your ministry are being encouraged by your strength, resilience, and honesty during these times. I will continue standing alongside you in prayer. Things might look dark now, but that's only because you're going through a tunnel - it's not the end for you yet! Much love Andrew.

I am the Lead Pastor at Naperville Christian Church and I met you when you spoke nearly two years ago at Naperville Covenant Church which is right around the corner from my church. My church is currently one of the churches that would struggle with supporting your organization NOW, but I'm really working on changing that part of NCC's culture. I've been there for 2 years now and GOOD changes are happening...but it is a real battle. I love what you are doing and will pray for you each day. I understand the poverty that you are speaking of and I turned down some other really good offers outside of traditional ministry, too. I'd love to grab some coffee with you and talk more about what you are doing. Let me know if that is possible... Peace, Neil Andrew,

[Yuck for white rice. It would give me real problems to put it nicely!] Seriously, I am sure there are other churches out there that would help. That makes me even more glad that the one I know about is helping! I'd be sad if they didn't! If things get really bad, the Lakeview Pantry is near you. I volunteer there a little. They have great food, as some awesome places donate to them. Luv, Mrs "T" - one of your greatest fans!! Your short term memory sounds good to me & I have some brown rice for you!
