I made the statement last week that if we had 20 planters right now, it wouldn't be sufficient to meet the needs of our planned plants. The problem with a lack of planters goes hand in hand with our lack of "seed money". If I understand Agriculture, most farmers today have to borrow their seed money for the years crop, only to be paid back after the harvest. Well, if I may quote Sixto, the fields are brown unto harvest. Friends, the workers are few. In our effort to recruit, screen, train and place, funding becomes our greatest hurdle. We would love for someone to give us the seed money and let them see the harvest happen right before their eyes.
Last week, Genesis Alliance completed the huge task of activating "Online Giving" on our website. Security was the highest priority, not only with us, but with the bank, host, software developers and other partners. I grew to appreciate through the length of time and the frustration of waiting, just how careful and precise key elements had to fall in place to make this happen. I want to encourage you to spread the word and excitement about what we're doing at Genesis Alliance. I ask you to consider giving and asking others to give to this important ministry. Asking for money is one of the most difficult things one has to do, but when the need is as great and as important as Genesis Alliance, I find myself getting over my timidity very quickly. Go to our site now and find the "Give online" tab and follow the directions and you'll be part of one the greatest ministries in the history of evangelism. www.genalliance.org
