We received a first miracle

The Mustard Seed Foundation stepped up to help fill our short-term cash flow issues by accelerating the final payment on their three-year grant to Generation Xcel last week. We received the check this morning, which gives us 6-8 weeks to breathe before the next miracle. Thank you, Brian, both for the check and the encouragement!

"I am sending this payment to you now after reading your letter ... as I want to encourage you and your excellent ministry. You are so deeply loved and have impacted so many people, more than you can ever know. I pray that the Lord blesses you with deep wisdom and grace during this season."
Word to wise, urban ministers working in one of MSF's targeted cities: apply to MSF for assistance. They are great people investing in great work in cities around the world. For perspective on their granting priorities, check out Dr. Ray Bakke's book, A Theology as Big as the City, which I reviewed last November. Ray's brother Dennis Bakke is the gazillionaire philanthropist behind MSF.
