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.
