Grateful to our Lord for you,
Marc, Cari, Justin, Noah, Charis, Elijah, and Sophia

To date Marc has been unable to secure state, and subsequently, NAMB support. He is still actively pursuing financial aid, but until this becomes a reality he, Cari, and their five children are finding it very challenging to meet their personal monthly budget needs.

The Strawberry Association really does have a unique opportunity here, and there is a wonderful open door before us. Will you prayerfully consider what greater part you can play in this missions effort?
