Septermber/October Update

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Hey Everyone,

The Quick update is below you can email us if you would like to read either as a word document or a PFD of our longer update.

The Time is Near!
We are extremely excited to announce that we have 60-70 percent of our monthly support pledged/raised! We also have a good portion of our start up costs! We thank God and all of you for your support both prayerfully and financially! We have been receiving some questions, so we wanted to take time to share and answer those.

WHEN WILL YOU LEAVE?
We have been approved to leave in late January or early February.  We have enough money saved from support we have been getting to be in Ecuador for six months.  After that six months, we will evaluate our support and if we have not received our full support needs then we will return for a short visit to support raise. We really hope not to have to do that and are asking God to bring in our full support.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MONEY YOU GET NOW?
Right now all the money goes to an account with ACCI. That money is being saved for us and will be released to us when we are ready to buy tickets and head to Ecuador. It will also go towards visas and our monthly living expenses.  A certain amount of money will be released to us by ACCI each month (enough to cover our living expenses in Ecuador). Until we are ready to purchase tickets and leave, we have no access to the money we are receiving now.  If you would like to more about our budget or about how we receive money, please feel free to ask.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING AGAIN?
Please see the three boxes to the right to read more about the vision the Lord has put on our hearts for Ecuador. Feel free to ask for more details! We love to share about our vision!

God Bless,
Mike & Lindy

To donate to us for Ecuador:
Make a check out to ACCI or Adventive. It is very important that our names are NOT on the check. You can just attach a note stating that the money is for Mike and Lindy Waskosky and include it in the envelope. You can mail the check to 141 East Main Street, Rock Hill, SC 29730.
You can also visit the ACCI website to donate to us. Simply click “Donate Now (US)” link on the left of the page, find our names under Ecuador, and enter in the amount in either the monthly donation area or the one time gift area.

Almost all banks will set up an automatic payment for their customers, and if a person does online banking then you can do it yourself. With online banking you can go into your account and schedule a check to go out for a particular amount each month, and the bank automatically sends that check on the date you select, every month. This option is available for anyone who backs at a large bank, and for most people who bank even at small banks. You can also try the PayPal option which you can set up to withdraw money from a credit card, or from your bank account. To set up online automatic payments please see below:

They can go into their account, choose ACCI as a payee, put in the ACCI address, the amount, and put “Ecuador Project 1” on the memo line, choose payment dates and frequency (i.e., monthly), and their bank will then automatically send a bank check to ACCI.  There usually is no charge to the people sending the money or to ACCI.
