RE: A DISTURBED CONGREGATION ADMINISTRATION AND EVANGELISM
WORKING BUDGET.
The above title is concerned. Our Congregation for this year
have faced a great financial working shortage due to the Cut-off of experienced
Grant from Lutheran Mission Cooperation (LMC). The Grant which was given to all
Mbulu Diocese Congregation quarterly per year helped much to sub-sidize our
working budget. Un expectedly the Grant had been Cut-off, now our Congregation
is in tough & undefined situation to meet our year budget. The situation is
miserable taking into account that our Congregation area faced draught and
hunger hazard for around two years - the result is low local Income. God is
rich, so our church Council have decided to exporse the matter to you (Prince of
Glory Lutheran Church Christians). Please if your at positive situation help us
by having a Partial budget for year 2002.
The attached is our year administrative & working budget. It
real presents the amount we can be able to manage - as local Income and our
request to meet the planned budget.
