How To Help

Live Loved!

The last thing this world needs is more people talking about relationship with God or better relationships among believers. What the world and believers alike are waiting for is people who will truly discover the joy and freedom of living as the beloved of God in a broken world. My greatest prayer is that God will transform us through is love, so that we can trust him and the insights he brings to us so that we can truly be free in the world and help others discover that joy as well.

Pray! Pray! Pray!

Our most important need by far is prayer, and we do appreciate those of you who lift up our lives and this work to him whenever he brings us to mind. Often people send along notes of encouragement, or impressions God gave them that are an incredible part of his work among us. So, yes! Please do that! Pray for open doors where he wants to send us to help his people and the wisdom to know when he doesn’t. Pray for the people who receive the materials we send out that God will touch their lives and draw them closer to him. Pray for the insight that will help people truly discover the vibrant relationship God wants with them. Pray to that God will continue to provide every resource we need to do what he has called us to do.

If you’d like to help us financially…

When we started this venture we were assured that God would pay the way for us to follow his leading. We do not ask for money in anything we send out and only mention it here for those who are interested. We don’t ever consider costs when planning trips or giving our lives away. We give books away to those who can’t afford them and go wherever Jesus sends us and touch others with the life he has given us. Sometimes our costs are more than offset by the people who invite us; at other times we go places where people cannot even cover our expenses in coming, much less help compensate for Wayne’s time.

The cost of travel and managing websites and social media feeds are considerable. However, we have always seen God provide whatever we needed–often in incredible ways and, too often, it seems at the last possible moment.  We have been incredibly blessed by the generosity of people whom God calls to help stand alongside us in the task he has asked us to do. We are blessed by each gift and are committed to using whatever contributions we receive to further God’s kingdom in the world, however God leads.

If God has put it in your heart to help us financially, keep reading. If, however, this page is making you feel guilty, pressured or manipulated, then please feel free to go elsewhere on our website. We don’t want you to feel any kind of compulsion to give to this work. This page is simply to keep people informed who feel they might want to help out. To give, please visit our Online Giving Page – there you may give one time or setup a recurring gift.
