We Need Your Help

Our Need

What we are about to share with you is a great need that we have. We've been debating on how best to share it and, after seeking counsel from others, believe that the best way is to simply make our need known and go from there. As many of you may know, we have set a monthly goal of $1,700 to cover tuition, living expenses, and savings. Additionally, we would like to ultimately begin saving for our ministry in Papua New Guinea including the start up costs.

This may seem high to you so we wanted to break it down a little bit:

$1,000 to cover our monthly tuition bill that also includes our apartment, electricity, water, laundry

$200 groceries

$160 for gas, car insurance / maintenance and phone bill

$100 that we would like to save for emergencies so that they aren't emergencies (Dave Ramsey knows what he's talking about!)

$85 that we would like to begin putting toward long-term savings

$150 for other expenses including short-term savings

Currently we are at 29% of our needed support level

 

While we do have enough saved from previous jobs and wedding gifts to complete this semester and the next, after May our funds will be out. We also know that our God is able and that He most often works through the Body. But it can be difficult for people to give when they don't know the needs. It has been said that, “While God provides for the sparrow He does not bring the food to its nest and put it in its mouth." We recognize that work is involved in raising partners and support so we're stepping out in an area that is uncomfortable and unknown to us and trust that God may use this to perhaps use you to help meet this need.

Caitlin and I have a desire to serve the Lord overseas in a cross-culture context and share the Light of Christ with those who have never and have no opportunity to hear the Good News. We desire to translate the Word of God in its entirety so that the people to whom we are ministering will have the ability to become fully mature believers just as we do. Even after just nearly five months of training, we can see how valuable these tools will be and how ill-equipped we would have been if we had gone without the training. We desire to begin our ministry overseas strong which involves us finishing strong here. We believe He wants us here and are willing to do whatever is necessary to complete the training.

We will be in Winter Park, Florida December 23rd - January 11th and then in Union, Missouri from that time on until January 16th and we would love to get together with you to talk more about what the Lord has been teaching us here at MTC and our desire to serve Him overseas. If you live in or around that area and are interested in getting together with us, please email us at cameron_neace@ntm.org

We invite you to prayerfully consider becoming our monthly partner or to give a special gift, as we prepare and train to go and share the Gospel with those who have never heard. At this time, because we are not recognized as "official" missionaries by the IRS until after we complete the training, your gift is not tax-deductible.

When designating which missionary you are supporting, indicate:
Cameron Neace Account #900458

If you would like to receive a tax-deductible receipt, we have an account set up through Gateway Ministries thanks to a gentleman from Cameron's church who is affiliated with this organization. Please send your checks to:

Gateway Ministries
P.O. Box 574
St. Clair, MO 63077

Checks should be made out to Gateway Ministries, noting on the memo line that it is designated for Cameron and Caitlin Neace. Please note: We only receive quarterly statements. So if you give and do not hear anything from us for some time, we promise we are not ignoring you! We just have to wait for our statement. (However, our New Tribes statement can be accessed anytime and is automatically sent to us every month so we will be notified of your giving through them quickly.)

Thank you so much to all of you who have been so generous in supporting us already! 

Thank you for your prayers and may God bless you! We hope to see some of you soon!

United in Christ,

Cameron and Caitlin
