Help Us Send Hope to the Prisons June 2013 Loaves & Fishes Report

As I announced in an email newsletter earlier this month, we were able to mail the new issue of Loaves & Fishes (red tulips) the first of June. Our goal was to mail them in May, three months since the previous one in February. Thanks to your support, we nearly accomplished our goal! We had the mail ready the last week in May, but the truck picked it up on June 4. My family (local) and some friends from Woodbury helped us get this mailing ready. We hope to have the next issue ready for printing by the end of July and have the funds to mail it sometime in August. Our burden for this issue is “hope”—helping discouraged ones find and maintain hope in Jesus Christ. It’s really exciting to see two issues go out within three months of each other. We are praying for a continued flow of funds sufficient to publish regularly every quarter.

Current Needs: • Inspiration for the next issue. We need enough stories, testimonies, poems, and articles to fill 52 pages. • Funds to print the new issue. It will take around $14,000; we have $5,000 to put toward it. Please help us send hope to the prisons of the USA through the power of written words inside the pages of Loaves & Fishes magazine. We need prayer for inspiration and protection as well as the funds to print and mail this issue. For the Kingdom, Lavern Gingerich Lighthouse Publishing
