Message from Roger

We come to the end of the year and the season of the celebration of Christ's birth. We have so much to thank Him for....His salvation, His abundance He bestows on us in so many ways, and His constant care for us. We at Jonathan's House are continuously grateful for the kindness that all of you show all year long. That makes this note more difficult. We know you have so often sacrificed and given. Believe me, we never take that for granted. We come to the end of this season however and we find ourselves significantly short on our budget. If we were just hundreds of dollars short we could cut and make it work. But now we are 5 days away from wiring money for the month and we are about $6,000 short from meeting our budget. We have about $1600 which will feed our kids for the month, but it won't do any more than that. We still need to pay the staff, buy toothpaste and such, buy gas for the bus, feed the street and foster kids, buy fire wood, pay our bills, etc. I ask that each one of you join us as we ask Him what we should do or give to meet this month's need. I know He is able to meet the need however He deems fit. He is the God of all miracles. We know that this season and we trust Him as we have so many times before. He has called us to care for those with nothing. This gives Him so many opportunities to show His love to them. Thanks for caring and praying and sharing. I pray that the God of abundance will show Himself strong in your lives this season and the new year.

Sincerely and for all our kids,

Roger Hatch
