January 2001 STEP gives a spark to the churches it visits. It allows the missionaries at work to go into new areas to implement their Bible education program. STEP helps to make OC's name and the programs it offers well-known throughout Guatemala. Taking STEP into communities that have the Bible program established allows the missionaries to follow up in a neutral way with the people in more remote areas. "Most places want visitors from the U.S. and the churches enjoy coming to STEP's evening activites. Children see models of what it is like to live the Christian life through STEP participants." As I take advantage of this amazing opportunity, I am inviting you to come with me. My journey with OC is just beginning, and it would mean so much to me to have you by my side. Once a month you will receive a letter from my 15-month journey. A basic premise of the STEP program is that participants will be responsible for all costs involved in their travel and personal living costs. OC does not offer any salary or financial reward for this summer ministry: it is a sacrificial offering of one's time and lost earnings. I truly believe that God can work miracles if we allow Him to guide the way. Therefore, I believe He will provide financially. If you feel lead, you may make a one-time donation toward the $6,000 needed up front, or a monthly gift toward the $2,500 needed per month. All donations are tax deductible. Already, the Lord has provided several supporters to cover $2,000 toward my monthly needs. Others have contributed a total of $2,000 toward my one-time expenses. By May 31st, 2000, 75% of all my financial support needs to be provided. It will happen! Checks can be made payable to OC International - account #196. You may send it directly to OC International in the care of David Armstrong, PO Box 36900, Colorado Springs, CO 80936. Thank you for your consideration. If it is not possible to support me financially, I do ask that you will keep me in your prayers.
