MarketPlaceMentor

We are at 95% of our monthly support. So close! We are praying with expectancy to be at 100% by the end of this week. Only $450/month left to go!

I want to tell you about an idea I feel that the Lord gave me. Our vision in reaching college students is to prepare students for a life of ministry in the marketplace. We want to help equip them with the tools and experience they need to be great members of the nation's workforce discipling those in their circles of influence.

To that end, we need to connect them to people who have experience that we don't. We would like to have 10-12 businessmen willing to commit to pouring into our students. A long-term goal will include other professions, but this is where we feel led to begin here.

Here's what we'll need:

• A commitment to (at least) one Skype session per year sharing wisdom and a little Q & A.
• A commitment to pray for the students and ministry in Dublin, Ireland.
• A commitment to be a financial supporter of the ministry (either personally or through your business).

If you own a business or are a businessman, and this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, please contact me. We currently have 6 businessmen on board. We look forward to assembling this team.

Almost There!

We officially have 93% of our monthly budget. Only $600/month left to go!

What we're working on:

• raising the final $600/month
• packing the house
• arranging to ship our things to Dublin
• finishing our 2011 taxes
• finding someone to live in our house

The ONLY that must be done before we schedule a leave date is to raise the final $600 of monthly support.

I'm (Blake) continuing the Daniel fast until we reach 100% of our monthly budget and find someone to live in our house for the next year. You're welcome to join. Thank you so much for all your prayers and support. We're almost there!

Your Role in Ireland

On our recent scouting trip to Ireland we met almost a dozen people from different backgrounds saying the same thing. "We've been praying for years that God would send someone to reach the students of Trinity College Dublin."

Like pieces of a puzzle, it takes us all to complete the picture. This thing is much bigger than you. This thing is much bigger than Katy and me. God's vision for the college students of Dublin will come to reality when people like us play our respective roles; As we give, pray, and go we will all be participating in something greater than we could ever accomplish on our own. We will be influencing a nation.

Your role:

• Consider being one of 30 people to pick us up for $20/month.
• If you are currently supporting us monthly, consider increasing by $10, $20, or $30/month.
• Pray for the final 8% of our monthly budget to come in, which will get us to Ireland THIS MONTH!

Thank you so much for what you do. We are so grateful for every one of you.
