The WFST theme verse:
Colossians 4:2-4 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.

The "Summer Contribution Dropoff"
Funds are... low!

The months of June and July have been very difficult financially. We had 3 paydays in June, transmitter repairs, and a quarterly insurance policy payment.
Along with these expenses, we have started the usual Summertime donation drop-off. The month of July was just as financially demanding with the annual property and quarterly payroll tax payments.

Below you can see our Budgeted Expenses and Actual Expenses are within $75 of each other at the halfway mark for the year. We have kept expenses in line with the budget.

Our monthly gifts for the first 6 months have fallen $7,734.84 short of our need and we came up short again in July...

Please be in prayer for the financial needs of WFST. We need to see the gifting increase. If you feel led, please send your gift to:

WFST
PO Box 600
Caribou, ME 04736

Please be in prayer about these needs and help out as you are led.
Thank you ...jds

from the "Wall of Prayer"...

Some of you have kept me in prayer over the last 6 years or so. I had been treated for cancer and have had 4 checkups a year to keep it in check. This past May a new cancer was found in my neck. I must now undergo surgery to remove the mass. If they get it all in one tumor then follow up treatment will be minimal, however if it has spread I will need some type of chemo and/or radiation treatment.
Please keep this in your prayers.
Thank You
john
