As the economic downturn worsens we understand that some of our supporters are coming into financial difficulty. Please know that you are regularly in our prayers and we would love to know if you need specific prayer be it for a job situation or any other reason, even if part of the conversation is that for the time being you have to cut back on support. That said, we are seeking others who can stand in the gap during this time. We don’t anticipate the need to extend more than six months as we are seeking the Lord for any ministerial changes He would have us make in the near future. We will keep you posted.

Over the past year, we have had to be creative in order to maintain a survivable income. I have been taking one day a week away from LAM in order to use my home repair and construction abilities which has helped cover the bills to varying degrees. More recently Claudia has been blessed with a new way to supplement our income as a Lia Sophia representative selling jewelry. If you are considering a birthday, anniversary or other gifts (or just a unique way to assist the Abegg’s) please visit her website at: www.liasophia.com/claudiaabegg where you can browse the catalogue and contact Claudia directly. Any purchases will assist our family, and it’s really nice jewelry with a lifetime guarantee!

Many individuals make up our support team and we want to thank each of you for your faithful prayer and giving. We also want to thank many of the churches that bless us with direct support such as: Walnut Creek Presbyterian, Clayton Community Church, and Lighthouse Foursquare Church. There are other churches that wish to remain un-named for various reasons. Thank you all for your faithfulness over the years.

Previous Lighthouse Members please note: If you are no longer attending Lighthouse Foursquare Church they are no longer able to process and forward your gifts to us. Please see our direct donation possibilities or contact us for help. Thank you!

God bless!
