GIVING ERROR!

Recently we received a very dissappointing phone call from Global Partners. A Church that had been supporting us for 2 years with $300 a month, had phoned into GP. They had a new treasure and she was reading her receipt and realized that it read "George Family".
The family they were suppossed to be supporting was NOT us! For two years this church sent their money to our "MISSION" account. And, for 2 years, they thought they were supporting another family. We had phoned this church and sent thank you's. But, for some reason it never clicked that things weren't right. When GP brought this to our attention, we felt immediately the right thing needed to be done. It was one of the hardest things we have ever done. But, felt it was VERY IMPORTANT that we give back all the money to the correct family. In doing so.... We have dropped below the "dange line" in our fund account. This means that if we don't get our account above the "Danger Line" after two months, our family will have to come home from Australia and raise more support!

GP has been VERY understanding and is willing to stand with us and pray that God will bring these funds back into our account in a quickly manner. Basically it means we MUST have a month were twice as much as normal comes in! Will you pray with us, that God would speak to churches, financial partners, prayer partners, friends, and families hearts to support us in what we are doing here in Australia.

Honestly this has hit us harder than just giving back the $7200. It also meant we "LOST" a monthly partner who we believed was on our support team.

Would you join us in PRAYER?

1) Pray that we would pick up $300 more in monthly faith promise partners?

2) Pray that we would have an AWESOME month of giving and that our GP account would come back abover the "DANGER LINE"

3) Pray for Chris and I to be able to be diligent about raising support, WHILE serving God full time on the mission field. The time zones are totally different and it is not an easy task to get ahold of churches.

WE love you all greatly and covet your prayers! We believe this is a stumbling block Satan has thrown in our way! For the first time ever we have been in Australia for 22 months straight! God is moving, people are coming to Christ, the church is growing, Kids club is exploding with Kids, and we are on the verge of what God has in store for this church. SATAN knows that! OUR God is bigger, stronger, and mightier. Would you stand with us and pray for God to move in people's hearts to give to his work here in Australia, by supporting the ministry and our family.

In His Palm,
The Georges
