September-November Giving Report

Here is the financial rundown for September, October, and November!

September: I received $2040 more than my budget

October: I received $715 more than my budget

November: I received $1120 more than my budget.

I am overwhelmed by the generosity of God's people. We truly cannot outgive him and I pray that he continues to bless you as you sacrificially give to advance His kingdom.

I am so thankful to report that I have made my budget for the year and in 2009 I will be starting on my "B" budget. (In 2008, I operated on my "C" budget)

This will be an act of faith for me as the total I will need to receive in 2009 will be 6000 more than what I received in all of 2008. In January I will post a much more detailed list of what 2008 held financially!

I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and if you wish to make an end of the year gift you can do that by visiting clicking on the side bar of my ministry blog at www.jackiesupdates.blogspot.com

You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed.

August 2008

After receiving my financial statement for August 2008, I sat in awe as I realized I am one month away from reaching my "C" budget for the entire year. This means- the total amount I need to raise for 2008 could be met next month. I am 5 months away (at my "c" budget total) of reaching my "B" budget for the year.

Please continue to pray for me to reach this goal, as it would kick in more support to our G.O. Kids program, partnerships, and more.

If you would like more information on how to partner with G.O. Ministries, please leave me a comment and I will get back to you. Thank you again for your faithful support and prayers!!

Paz en Cristo!

June 2008

As I reviewed my finances for the first half of 2008, I have been consistently over my "C" budget by over $1,000 each month. This is great, because as most of you know I purchased a vehicle in May this year. As I continue to look toward reaching my "B" budget, which would allow for more children to be sponsored, more Nationals to recieve sponsorship, and more ministry money I would ask you to pray about how you can become a part of me reaching this goal.

To you faithful givers- thank you. I pray God blesses each of you for your sacrifices for advancing the Kingdom.

To you prayer warriors- I am forever grateful to you. Please continue to lift the work God is doing here in the D.R. and Haiti up in prayer.

To those of you who haven given a one-time gift (or several one-time gifts), would you consider gifting that each year? Or consider a monthly partnership?

Thank you all for each of the ways you play a vital role in the ministry here. Much love and peace to you all!!

Love-
Jackie

April and May

Thank you for your contibutions in April and May. I found myself again above my "C" budget, which I can only attribute to our gracious LORD, Jesus Christ. In addition to going above my "C" budget I also received several gifts for my ministry vehicle which I was able to purchase on April 25th!
In April I received new support from Hamilton Life Church in Chatanooga, TN, and a new church in San Francisco is considering a partnership beginning in 2009. I am so grateful to my friends Ben, Laura, Rob, and Missy who over the last year have facilitated the meetings with these churches.
I look forward to how God will use Hamilton Life Church and Central Peninsula Church to further his work in the D.R.
It was a wonderful time in Las Vegas as well, visiting with supporters and Soulstice Church who currently supports me.
If you would like information on how to get involved in financially supporting the ministry please email me at: jackie.douglas@go-ministries.org
Peace,
Jackie

March Finances

God is good! For the second month in a row, I have made my budget and then some! I am so grateful for the special gifts I received this month. I was able to support two kids in the G.O. School for an entire year and the balance of the overage is going into an account which will help me buy a Ministry Vehicle that will be invaluable to the ministry. I hope to purchase this vehicle by June of 2008! I will be posting more details about the vehicle this week. It is a Toyota Tacoma! If you wish to contribute to the vehicle fund, please leave me a comment and I will email you with the information.
Again, thank you all for your generous gifts and gracious sacrifices!
Peace in Christ,
Jackie

February givings...

I just wanted to extend a special thank you to those of you who answered my prayer and gave extra last month. God blessed me with double the amount I needed and this extra amount will go towards reaching my "b" budget. The money I raise, not only goes towards my living expenses, but feeds children, builds churches, and nutrition centers on this island.

From the very bottom of my heart, thank you.

Paz en Cristo,
Jackie

"B" Budget... Here I Come!

I wanted to take an opportunity to give you an update on my finances. I am currently meeting my 2008 "C" budget and have raised 1/2 the amount I need to begin operating on my "B" budget. I am $545 a month away from meeting this goal, or a lump sum of $6540. Please pray about how you can contribute to this goal. Once I meet my "B" budget, I will be able to sponsor more kids in our G.O. School which will allow them to receive a Christian Education. I will be able to give more money to our National Partnerships which will allow Christian men and women to focus on serving God and their communities.
It has been a blessing to be serving God in this capacity and I thank you all for journeying along with me!
