Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14
That was one of our Bible verses at breakfast yesterday morning, and it's an encouraging verse as we wait for the Lord through some hot and humid days in Dakar! We've been continuing to review our financial situation, and believe that it is important to let you know some of the specifics.
Monthly support needs: Our support is coming in about $800 short on average each month. We have a "support account" (kind of a buffer) that is down from 8,000 to about 1,000. Between those figures, it seems that our support may run dry very quickly.
Ministry account needs: Due to the same skyrocketing medical costs that you all deal with, our medical coverage has been scaled way back this year. We now have an annual deductible of $1,000 per person, which we were not at all prepared for. We've already spent over $1,000 for Mary this year (nothing serious, just some very expensive testing!), and we don't have funds in our account to pay the deductible. The good news is that we can use ministry account funds for all legitimate medical costs not covered by insurance, which means that donors can help out and get a tax-deductible receipt at the same time by giving to our ministry account.
We appreciate your prayers, and ask you to look with us to the Lord as we wait for His provision of our need. If you feel led to be a part of meeting some of these needs, here is the link for information about online giving.
Thankful for God's promises,
the Dakar Deckers
