Needs for Support

As we are leaving, many people have asked about how to support us. We told you that we would put the details on this page, so here they are! Below we've posted an info card. It includes a very brief overview of what we will be doing, along with our needed support. Everyone can pray for us, and our specific prayer needs are on the card at the bottom of this post.

Financially, we need about $10,000 for the first three months. [An explanation of that number is at the bottom of the info card.] We have been extraordinarily blessed by very generous people, and we are getting closer to what we will need. The easiest way for you to support us financially is to mail a check to Fortress of Hope. Here are the details:

Write out a check to 'Fortress of Hope,' and put 'Mitch and Lauren' on the memo line. Then, send the check to the following address:

Fortress of Hope

PO Box 200

Hartville, OH 44632

Yes, we need money, but we are not worried about our finances, and we're not going to say 'We need that amount or we can't go!' We don't want to tell you to give so you can check 'tithe' off your to-do list. We want you to learn about what we are doing and come alongside us as we all respond to God's call. He is calling us to Managua, and He will provide for us through people who believe in what we are doing. In that vein, if you have any questions about what we will be doing, why we think it is important, or how we will use our money, please ask! We want to make sure you understand what we are doing.

One final note, we will soon have prayer cards that you can keep as you remember us in prayer. They are being made through VMM, and you are welcome to request those cards by sending us an email, contacting VMM, or Eastisde Church. Thank you to everyone who keeps updated on what we are doing. It means the world to know that there are people around us who care. Make it a great day,

Mitch and Lauren
