Regarding the special need, we incorrectly announced that all the funds had come in for the folks who urgently need to go to Wellspring. Brian Steele received this email from Dr. Paul Martin this week:
Brian,
We have accepted this family on faith next week that we will have the necessary victims assistance funds for their treatment. So far we have raised about $1500.00 towards their treatment. We will not be able to meet expenses for payroll, utilities, overhead if we do not have a minimum of $5000.00 towards their care.
I do not know what you can do except pray and pass the word to all those concerned. I thank you for all your efforts so far.
In His Grace,
Paul
Brian forwarded this message to us, and said, "I've pledged regular donations to Wellspring for the next 6 months to help close the shortfall." If you can help, tax-deductible donations can be made directly to Wellspring Retreat and designated "Victims Assistance Fund: The Assembly". Mail them to:
Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center
Attn: Dr. Paul Martin
P.O. Box 67
Albany, OH 45710
740-698-6277
Wellspring will be receiving these folks next week. For more information about this need see "Appeal for Help" on the ga.com website,
