Many of you have noticed by now that your online support accounts appear to have “lost” some or all of your money.  DO NOT FEAR, we still have a record of it, and it still exists!

However, something has apparently gone wrong with the online database.  Currently, it seems to only be showing gifts received before 9/30/06.  Our IT guys are already working on the problem, and will have it corrected as soon as they possibly can.

Meanwhile, you will shortly be receiving an email update from me with your support status.

As a reminder, your November 30th support goal is quickly approaching.  By this date you should have $8,500 raised, $4,500 of which should be cash in your AIM account and up to $4,000 of which may be pledges. 

In order to count as a pledge, AIM must have received a pledge card in the mail from your supporter.

For those of you who will fall drastically short of the November goal, we need to have a phone conversation between now and Wednesday.  It is time to consider whether you have a way to come up with the money, whether you should wait and go on the June race instead, or whether you should choose the “Going On Faith” option. 

If you choose the “Going On Faith” option, there is a very detailed process you must follow, and details of that will be available soon.  If you are very short with your support, please be asking the Lord what He would have you do, and please be praying with your small groups about it.
