Now the special request:
Years ago, when I was planting a church, a neighbor asked me how it was going, and when I told her I felt like I was way out on the limb of faith, her response took me aback. She said, “Tom, you know what you need to do? You need to scoot a little further out on that limb … it’s safer out there.” I was speechless.
My friends, we are scooting further out on the limb of faith with the international retreats. Basically, we are launching Samson Society as a full on international organization. We’re not talking “an American nonprofit in other countries,” but an international organization based in America. However, with that comes significant new expenses to cover travel, translation work, web development, and indigenous leadership. Who knows, maybe even a base of operations in another country.
Over the next three years we anticipate additional expenses of just shy of $130k, but for the short term we need $25k. I’m not asking you to pony up more money than you are currently contributing, but I am asking for two things:
- Please ask the Lord to bring to us one or more benefactors who can fund this dream, and
- Think about who you know that may be able to be that benefactor. If you will introduce that person to me, I will tactfully introduce them to our community and mission, and make a very compelling ask.
Nate and I, and the board of Samson House, are completely convinced this is in line with God’s leading. He has called us to step up and fill this gap, and He will provide.
Guys, this is exciting. Let’s make it happen!
With you in the battle,
Tom Moucka
