Hello again! As the year winds down for us here in Denver, we are blessed with the work that's being accomplished in the mission church you are very much a part of. Souls are being saved, new disciples trained, and 2011 looks to be one of our finest if not the finest years in the history of the work. This has been a time of both great success and struggles. Success in that we are moving forward with our vision of getting the church closer to self-supporting status. The church is now contributing well over $10,000 to my support in addition to keeping up with our increased expenses at our new facility. We are hoping to offset some of those by finding a church to rent from us during times when we are not meeting at our building. I need your prayers for God to direct the right ministry to us so we can find a renter soon.
Also, I've not received my latest giving statement for the end of the month but it's safe to say we are in the red. I checked our account online this morning and at latest report, we are roughly $5,000 in deficit. You can see the web page here: http://www.homemissions.net/tp40/page.asp?ID=127092
As the year winds down, I'm asking each of you to please pray about my deficit. I am scheduled to make mission visits in January and February of next year but travel is getting harder and harder with increased fuel prices and the cost of a rental car, etc. It's also a strain on the church when I have to leave and I cannot be on the field making new contacts, meeting with families and following up on prospects for our work. If you are able, could you help us in this area? I know many of you give monthly to help our account and I'm so grateful but perhaps there are others you could forward this message to? Perhaps your church could take up a special offering for us? If you'd like to give a gift right away you can do that by visiting this link:

It allows you to make a gift online through our Home Missions department. In order for me to receive credit, you must select my account by clicking on the box right above the verification code and select "Cheatham Scott" on the menu. I'm praying for God to meet our need. We're doing all we can here and as many of you know, my wife works full-time and then some to help. Could you help us? Do you know someone who could? If you need to talk to me about this, feel free to call me at 720.961.3451 and I'll be happy to visit with you. If I can visit you virtually through SKYPE, I would love to talk to your church in any way I can serve. If nothing else, please pray for us. This time of year can be stressful for missions work across the country. Many of our mission accounts are suffering so pray for them also. Thank You for continuing to support the vision of a strong Free Will Baptist church in the Denver, Colorado area. We are blessed and humbled by your faith in us and thank you in advance for your help!
