Hospitality of the Nations: 2013

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. You may be wondering why this is titled "Keep the dream alive" and I hope you are. Just this month, for the first time since I began working with COTN, I realized that after my paychecks this month I will be in the red - meaning, I will have a negative balance in my account because I do not have enough financial support coming in to cover my part time salary. You can see on the left how much I have monthly and how much I need total. That means I need another $565 per month committed. That's a lot! I know it can be done though.

I am praying, and will continue to do so, that God's will is done. I love being a part of this ministry and wish to continue here. Especially since I sit in the Dominican Republic as I write this. Maybe God is calling me away from COTN, and if so then I trust Him. I don't feel that calling though. I feel called to push through and get the funds raised that are needed.

(please keep reading in post "Keep the dream alive")

***If you are new to my blog, or new to COTN, please look in the righthand side bar for JANUARY 2010 posts "A Tidbit on COTN" and "A Glimpse at the Hospitality Program" to gain some background knowledge.

Hospitality Video!

Cheez has graciously helped me create a video to explain the COTN Hospitality program and my role on staff. The purpose is to show the ministry, what it is doing to serve children, and help me raise funds. I am sure by now almost all of you know I am trying to gain more monthly partners in order to be fully funded. I am currently listening to Chris Clark (COTN founder) share stories of how COTN is affecting lives, and he is recalling stories of his late father. I am thinking to myself, how proud would his dad be to know he founded an organization that is serving, feeding, and educating thousands of children in countries all over the world! I am thrilled to be part of this ministry that is so clearly transforming lives.

Please take a moment to watch this video and consider being a part of this! It is about 4.5 minutes long. Also feel free to pass this on to everyone you know, post to facebook, whatever :) I am here if you have questions. Thank you!
