Hey friends,
Pick a Pocket is preparing to go on our yearly retreat. As a missions group, predictably, we are very rarely in one place. It is such a crazy blessing to be able to come together, welcome new staff members and gather strength and excitement for what God has for us. We are staying at a staff members parent's property to the south. We are camping to keep costs to an absolute minimum and the entire 4 day retreat including transport will be approximately 36 euros.
However, and this is the tricky part, we have just been told that, in keeping with YWAM Herrnhut base policy, that we should not go on retreat with outstanding base debt. As a group of 30 of us we have approximately 3000 euros outstanding. This has accumulated because of monthly staff fees (25 euro), compulsory health insurance (40 euro) and various other transportation/housing/medical expenses. So this is me saying help!
Pick a Pocket is such an awesome group of people who live out generosity in every part of their lives. We live simply and faithfully in community and want to give our all to seeing this world reached with the love of God.
Please prayerfully consider if you can stand with us in this time and get behind us with financial support. Please pray for breakthrough in this area for us too! We are working to fight extreme poverty, to help people live lives of hope and dignity with purpose and so often we find ourselves consumed by the same needs we are trying to help others overcome.
Lots of love.
UPDATE:
We've had somewhat of a breakthrough regarding finances in the team. Many people have had their debt paid off. Thanks so much for your prayers!
