December 12, 2018 – Another year is about to end. Where does the time go?
I am writing to share with you how you can help Team Balkans. I do not talk a great deal about our support and that of our team in our communication – I do share projects from time to time that you can participate in if you are able. But this week I want to share with you a few pressing needs we have within the team.
David and Jill Sweet’s support funding is very low. They are doing an amazing job and they are a very important part of the expanding work in the Balkans. They are new and not as well known to the churches so they are often not thought of but let me testify they are very important to the work in the Balkans click on this link to give

Our CPD fund Church Planting and Development) – (used to be called the CSA (county support Account) is also very low. These are fund used to help run things in the country beyond what we as the missionaries do – it helps with administrative costs, conferences for training pastors, travel for nationals and much more. These funds are sent quarterly but only if there is money in the account – we have not received our full funding in this account this year as it has not had funds there. We have gotten by but are looking at some creative projects for next year and want to get the fund built up so we can proceed with the dream. Click on this link to Give

Finally, Chance and Dee Galloway are moving from VISA (short-term missionary) to Career (Long Term) missionary and are also needing to increase their personal support. So they could also use some year-end giving. Click here to give https://give.fmcusa.org/sslpage.aspx?pid=486
Additionally, you can make a pledge for 2019 to support these needs which will be a great help as well (email me with your amounts and I will get them processed).
Thanks for your support and help with all that God is doing with Team Balkans!
