Ministry Update

Everything is moving along with the ministry, In July, Daniel is going back to Samburu land and a CEF Rally is planned. Daniel will be traveling with a number of pastors to Laisamis in Marsabit County at the border of Ethiopia and Kenya. The CEF Rally will take place in this same general area.

Here in the States, we will be hosting the Second Annual Dominic Costanzo Vintage Shoot at the Milford Gun Club and the Second Annual Dominic Costanzo Sporting Clays event at the Sycamore Sportsmen Club this summer. Both shoots benefit Resourcing Ministry Partners in the Cincinnati Area. Both events raised over $20,000 for the ministry last year.

I do need to make our partners aware that we are running short on funds for Wadada, CEF, and Church builds. Our operational need for the Wadada Ministry is $65,000. This year's funding is falling short at $50,000. We have exhausted our Wadada funding with the latest transfer for June. This does include donations given at the end of 2020. We have also exhausted the CEF funding for this year, as well as the money set aside for church builds. We expect some donations to trickle in throughout the summer months. Some of the proceeds from the Shooting events will go towards Church Builds. However, most of the proceeds are earmarked as support for Daniel and the Pastors. We recognize that growth may, at some point, outgrow giving, but we have always trusted the Lord will supply needs as they occur. While our intentions have never been to ask, as we trust the Lord is in control of this, we felt an obligation to make everyone aware of the current situation and that our giving will have to be proportional to donations received. Overall costs for Pastors, teachers, Wadada, and CEF are currently running in the neighborhood of $250,000 annually. This figure does not include any building funds or emergency needs. I don't know that any of you, including our founders, ever envisioned the explosive growth that has happened over the last 18-24 months, especially during a supposed worldwide pandemic. But this Ministry has grown by the Grace of God and we are thankful that you have been able to be a part of that.

I am sorry that I have not included any scripture or thoughts about current events happening in the world, but hope to follow up shortly with some gleaning. I wanted to get this out quickly as we are running into financial hardship and I felt everyone should be aware of our situation.

Yours in Christ,

Dino Costanzo
