Fundraising Details

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to write a short post to further explain/clarify our fundraising needs, and elaborate on our time-frame goals. Our financial support needs are broken up into two categories.
   
The first category is for start-up costs -$10,000 

This includes...

• A new (well, new to us) all-wheel drive car- Honestly, it feels weird to call this a need because generally with cars, phones, computers and clothes, oftentimes "needs" are actually confused with "wants." However, after visiting North Routt this winter, we quickly realized an all-wheel drive car is actually a need, trust us!
• Housing security deposit- The town of Clark has no apartment complexes or condos to rent; the only renting options are single family homes. The few that we are currently looking at have some hefty security deposits (a little over $1,000) that are due before we move in. 
• Moving expenses- We will be using a moving truck to haul out our furniture and belongings and that can be pricey ($1,000 not including gas). 

These needs are more time sensitive since they need to be funded in order to make the move. In other words, these will get us there! We need to raise this $10,000 goal before April 27th which is the day we pack up and leave for Clark, Colorado. 

The second category is a portion of my salary over the next two years - $20,000

• The reason I am raising my salary is because I want to be able to pastor full-time.  Although I respect and understand bi-vocational pastoring, I believe (as does the leadership in CO) that the church needs full-time leadership to invest into the vision and development of this new and growing church. As of right now, NRCC simply does not have the resources to support a salary for me and Suzanna to live on. That is why I am relying on the broader church (you guys) to use your gifts and resources to partner with us. Your generosity allows us to play a role in what God will do through this church plant as it aims to bear witness to his love and glory in a town that has recently been church-less.

So again, if you feel called to partner with us in this ministry we will humbly and gladly accept your donations. You can give by going to the donation "widget" on the top right of the blog page which will send you to our Razoo page where you can use your debit or credit card to give. Or if you would rather write a check please send it here:

11122 Rolling Springs Dr. Carmel, IN 46033.  Please make it out to "North Routt Community Church" and in the Memo line write "David Bloom."

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

David & Suzanna
