NEW US OFFICE

I'm happy to introduce to you Don & Betti Stone. Don is our new treasurer, and Betti our new secretary. Their pastor is one of the board members of H2TNI. This is our new address:

PO Box 76738
Colorado Springs, CO 80970
Ph. (719) 591 7571

I believe that the intense attacks of the past three months - that are still continuing - are a frantic attempt of the enemy to take us out before we enter into the next great season the Lord has prepared for us. The release of the book in March and a family of three joining us in Mali in May are just two powerful life changes ahead of us that will take us to a new level. Please pray for me, Paul, Christian, and the rest of us.

2010 FINANCIAL STATISTICS

As I have an administrative gift, and I love numbers, it's fascinating to me to look over the numbers of 2010 and compare them with 2009. As our supporters you have every right to have insight into our books to see where your money goes. These next few paragraphs give you some information - feel free to skip them if you're not interested.

      General donations 2010 - up 13%
      Expenses - up 15.5%
      Construction donations - up 17.7%

In 2009 we were able to reduce our debts by 81%. I'm happy to tell you that we were able to eradicate the ministry's debt in 2010. Praise God!

Our monthly average amount we spent is 7.300€, i.e. $10,100.
Our faithful monthly donors currently give a total of about 3.000€, i.e. $4,150.
That means we are 59% of our expenses short every month. In the best case scenario, that difference comes in through one-time donations. In the worst case scenario, the ministry goes into debt. It is my travels that help bring in those one-time donations.

People ask me where most of our donations come from - 37% of last year's donations (building fund excluded) came from the USA, while 63% came from Europe & Africa and mostly from Austria.

This ministry seeks to give away 10% of incoming money (unless dedicated to something specific) to other ministries, as we believe in tithing and giving, and the blessings that result thereof. In 2010 we came very close to that goal, and hope to reach it this year.

Some numbers of expenses so you have an idea where our greatest needs are; these are averages per month for 2010.

Food - 900€, i.e. $1,250 (excluding Claudia's food)

Schooling - 350€, i.e. $490

Car repairs/maintenance - 260€, i.e. $360

Gas for cars - 260€, i.e. $360

I hope these numbers are beneficial to you. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

QUICK NEWS

•        Warfare - Please continue praying for us. Attacks are coming from the outside (neighbors, government, police), the inside (kids doing horrible things) and the spiritual world (Paul was attacked in a dream and woke up with physical pain).

•        My Book - Printing finishes March 25th in the USA. A few book reviews can already be read here. In Europe it can be pre-ordered here. ISBN: 978-88-96727-22-5.

•        Personal Assistant Needed - I'm looking for a female on-fire Christian with a heart to serve who will travel with me as my PA from June through November. You'll have to raise your own support as we travel to the US, Europe and Mali. Preferred are those who have done the IRIS, Bethel school, Fire & Fragrance, or the like. Reply to this email for more information.

•        Construction - Thanks to a few donations for construction, we are now finishing the space between the two houses where our kitchen is moving. Then we're adding a kitchen and bathroom to the rooms on top of the dining hall to create an apartment for the family comin to join our team in May. Once that is done, we can hopefully continue work on our third building - once money comes in. However, we need to pay for additional solar panels in the weeks to come first (see paragraph on top).

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. (2.Cor 3:18)

Trusting HIM,

Claudia
