Next month NTM is implementing a new “Grant
Process” which I am responsible to oversee. Please pray that it will be
implemented as smoothly as possible. The different aspects of the process are
requirements by the U.S. Government, but the main idea of it is for NTM to
exhibit control over the funds that are sent overseas (to fund those
ministries). It requires getting background information about the organizations
& its leaders, as well as any individuals that are receiving (or being
‘granted’) this funding. It also requires that NTM verifies that no individual
or no one associated with all the other NTM organizations have ties to
terrorism. It also requires reporting that the funds were used in the manner
that they should have been. On top of that, there are numerous things that are
changing in the way that NTM processes the funds, but will affect these other
organizations & individuals. Please pray that the Lord will give us wisdom
& insight about any potential problems and that we will be able to fix
potential issues so that this process can be implemented by the end of
September.
Since
the majority of my time has been spent on the Grant Process the last six
months, I am behind with the annual budget process. Normally I have the budget
worksheets out to the different departments & locations by the beginning of
July. I still need to work through projecting income & expenses for about
45 departments & locations. Please pray that the Lord will give wisdom
& time to complete this so that I can concentrate on the Grant Process
implementation.
We are
thankful knowing that you will uphold us in prayer!
