Dear Ryan,

Thank you for your prayers in behalf of on-going financial needs at World Missionary Press.

As of the morning of February 24, we were yet about $70,000 below income budget for February. And during the first four months of our fiscal year—October through January—we received $451,289 less than income budget.

But God knew in advance what our income would be during those months, so He provided a large gift at the end of September, 2009, which has enabled us to maintain our production budget of 6 million booklet equivalency each month this fiscal year in spite of below-budget income.

On February 22 our Volunteer Advisory Study Group (VASG) met, the staff group that studies our financial situation and then counsels what level of production we should realistically aim for, and decided that we needed to slow production from 6 million per month to 5 million per month for March and April.

We never like to move in that direction.

But God . . . .

But God intervened February 24 by hand-delivering an estate settlement in the amount of $362,500! We rejoice for the man whose heart was in tune with God’s Word and God’s work at World Missionary Press, motivating him to designate WMP as a beneficiary of his estate. What a blessing he is! What an awesome impact he will have in millions of lives through the power of God’s Word made possible through his gift!
How our hearts rejoice! We will not need to slow production after all for the time being! God’s timing is perfect. God’s provision is amazing!
Your involvement in the worldwide ministry of World Missionary Press is deeply appreciated!

The need before us for producing more and more of God’s Word is great. We continue to plan emergency printings for HAITI and are beginning to print inside CHINA once again. Plans were in the works for production of two containers for CHILE when the earthquakes struck there. We will continue to respond to needs as God makes it possible through gifts and prayers of His people.

May God bless you with His joy and peace.

Your friend in Christ,
