Keeping Going 2 - Please stick with us

Following from the Keeping Going post on 09 Sept 2010, herewith the progress that has been made so far:

Phase 1:

• We secured the sub-let agreement with the owner of the Den and have continued to house and disciple students as before. It may be in the interest of the owner and her family to sell the Den in the near future, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it and leave it in the Lord's hands.
• We have strengthened our relationship with the Student Y and have continued to pursue a formal partnership (more below).

Phase 2:

• Willard stepped up to the plate with committing to taking on the position of Ministry Coordinator. There is now a strong staff compliment - all part time, who have partnered with him (more from Willard about this on another post). We are working hard at trying to obtain funding for Willard to remain full-time in this position and therefore make a strong appeal to all our Alumni to support us in this.
• The ministry has resumed operation with Friday night meetings, a few Bible studies, and Camps. Follow the blog updates for news on these.

Phase 3:

• Willard and Godwin travelled to Cape Town to join the Student Y at UCT for their Orientation Week operations. This was extremely fruitful for both parties, and personal relationships were formed or strengthened. The Student Y is currently undergoing structural changes to accommodate growth, and into this it looks promising that UCSF can partner. Please continue to pray for wisdom for both parties in taking this forward.
• We are currently in the process of appointing a board for local accountability. Please pray for wisdom in selecting the board members and defining the role of the board.
• We are still in the process of resuming full operation but are very pleased with the progress so far.
