Dear Ryan,
Thank you for praying in response to my email dated March 24. Here is a follow-up report:
1. Our main printing press is fixed and back in operation. We praise God for professional technicians who are available when called upon. We ran longer shifts last week to make up for some of the slack in production when the press was down. On Monday, for example, we ran two shifts (5:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m.), and printed the equivalency of 866,300 booklets—in one long day!
2. March income ended up at $227,342, for which we heartily praise God. Though that was below budget for the month, income to date for the first half of this fiscal year (October 1, 2008–March 31, 2009) is only $2,070 below our income budget. How we rejoice in God’s faithfulness in providing for our financial needs day by day!
3. Vicky Benson had an MRI and began decompression treatments yesterday to hopefully solve her sciatica pain, now in its eighth week. (She has mildly compressed disks in her lower spine.) She is in good spirits. Steve Pierzchala’s kidney surgery went well, and he is returning half-days to WMP. Greg Campbell’s foot surgery April 9 to care for his plantar fasciitis went well. He returned to work this week.
Thank you so much for praying. Please trust God with us for sufficient income during the summer months to maintain our production budget of 6,000,000 booklets per month . . . and even for above budget income to allow us to increase production.
I trust you’ve had an inspiring and worshipful Resurrection weekend. How we REJOICE in serving a risen Savior!
