Hoffmans' Update

Praying friends

Thank you for your devotion to seeking God on our behalf at this time. Remarkably we are not burned out but keep going strong.

Here are some things to be lifting up as you think about us:

Incoming Students
As of now we have accepted 5 students to next year's Pasadena program. Pray for more students so my budget will be full. Pray for the right students to come in and work hard at learning what God has for them here. Pray for unity and comradery amongst the incoming students and an eagerness to grow

Adam's Role
Pray that someone will SOON be able to come in and take Adam's old admin role away so he can focus solely on directing the program. Pray for wisdom and good conscious as he makes decisions affecting the program. Pray for his endurance and ability to handle all the responsibilities he is juggling.

Melissa's Role
Pray that Melissa will be able to have influence over both incoming students looking to take Insight (national student advertising/promotion) and new host locations (those that are beginning new locations). There is a national student conference (DC/LA) we are going to this weekend.

Dr. Winter's family
This Sunday is Dr. Winter's memorial service. The community is looking forward to a time of celebrating his personality and the work God has done through him. Pray for closure, and healing in the grieving process for his family and especially his wife. They were married after both being widowed so this is her second husband she has lost.

Support Raising
We are in the process of making a last push for support. We need almost $2,000 more monthly in commitments to put us fully funded after our coming raise (whenever we extend our family, we get a raise. Once Baby Hoffman comes, we are allotted more money). Even though we won't have full access to the funds until the child comes, we need to have it raised to prove we can provide to the social worker and birth mother. We really need to finish by mid-August so pray for people to step up and be generous, as always for the purpose of joining in with what God is doing and aligning their priorities with His.

Thanks so much, feel free to send us any updates from your end.

With Love For He First Loved Us,
