Dear Family, Friends, and Supporters,
If you are living in Ohio, we hope you are out enjoying the nice weather today! Heat wave?! ;)
We wanted to take a minute and update you regarding our progress towards our support raising goals! God has been so faithful to us; He is constantly reminding us that He has called us to OSU and Columbus. He reminds us that He is gathering people to support the ministry. He reminds us that this is a process that He is coordinating. We must listen and be guided by the Holy Spirit!
We are excited to announce that we are at…drumroll please…$1315 in monthly support! We need be at $2000 no later than April, but this is AWESOME progress! For those of you wondering, our total monthly budget is $2800.
If you have not submitted your monthly faith promise, you can do so by clicking on the 'Missions' tab towards the top of the page. The 'Missions' tab will lead you to our Assemblies of God Missions Giving page.
So excited to get to campus! Your monthly giving helps us to get there faster. Give away! :)
Many blessings!
The Kurz Family

CRUNCH time...
Hi Family, Friends, and Supporters,
Have you ever been in that place where you are asking God, um…"what are YOU doing?" Well, we have for sure been in that place for a while now regarding support raising. When we moved to Columbus, we thought, well surely this money is going to come in quickly because we know that we are called to do campus missions with Chi Alpha at Ohio State. We got involved on campus minimally during the fall semester with the anticipation that our budget would be raising by the end of the semester or by the start of the spring semester. That didn't happen. We prayed and asked God to show us what we were missing. Did we not talk to the right people? Were we not supposed to be on campus?
God showed both of us, as well as our Chi Alpha leaders and friends, that we needed to get off of campus. So at the end of the 2nd spring semester Chi Alpha meeting, Steve, our state director, announced to the students that we would not be returning to campus until our budget was raised. Yikes. We have been off of campus for at least 4 weeks now and have been pushing through support raising. About 3 weeks ago, our state director gave us a deadline to raise at least $1000 a month towards our budget in the next 90 days. Almost 21 days of the 90 have passed. The URGENCY is being felt by both of us and we are hoping that you are feeling it too! Students at Ohio State are in need of hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and of receiving support from campus missionaries. THEY NEED YOU! Actually, they need you to support us so that we can do what we are called to do there! I don't believe that God moved us all this way and worked out all of the details to leave us hanging now. Do you? I believe in a God that has a DIVINE purpose and plan! I can't tell you that I know all that He is doing, but I can tell you that we have never felt urgency like we have before…an urgency to share the Gospel and teach students what it means to live out their faith in the Marketplace. Will you consider supporting us? If you have been considering, will you take the step forward to give? If so, click the "Missions Giving" tab at the top of page, which will take you to our giving page.
I will be using our blog to keep you all informed of our progress! Let's believe that this won't take 90 days! :) And for those of you that are supporting us, thank you for believing in the work that God wants to do through us! You are such an encouragement.
In Christ,
Charity
