In attempting to be faithful to Gods call upon our lives, we have stepped out in faith, and moved to Albany, Oregon.  This IS a venture of faith.  We are certain of the mission, and confident  of Gods leading.
 
With this in mind, we would ask that you would prayerfully consider financially supporting this Church plant.  There is no organization financially backing this endeavor – thus all finances need to be raised - not only for living expenses, but also for costs incurred to open the Church doors.  Attached you will see a break-down of three budgets (personal, Church monthly, and start-up costs).  Please take a moment to review the attached budget, as well as some “quick facts” listed to the right, that may help answer the question “why Albany?”
 
Lastly, we have need for equipment.  Sound / light / video, computers, printers, T.V., tables, chairs, the list is nearly endless.  If you have any such equipment that you would consider donating, we would be greatly blessed.
 
Thank you so much for your continued friendship throughout the years.  The fact that we feel the freedom to share our needs with you speaks volumes!  We pray that God would not only guide our steps and speak into our lives, but your lives as well – granting you peace, encouragement, and strength thru life’s journey.
 
Blessings!
-Brad
