Pastors,
      On behalf of the board and staff of Christian Life Ministries, thank you for the continued support from you and your congregations.  During the Christmas season, we had very successful Baby Bottle Drives and our Adopt-a-Family was oversubscribed!  We could not have done this without you and your members.    
      I am writing to update you on the progress of the topics I addressed at the conference last February and ask for some specific help.
      We continue to share the Good News with dozens of clients and their children every week.  Our annual Adopt-a-Family program provided much needed material assistance to 45 families.  The Thrift Store is earning steady income for our daily needs thanks to generous donations and volunteers (but we could use more!).  We are bursting at the seams as we attempt to meet the demand for our Gospel focused classes. 
      We are making slow progress in our efforts to renovate our facility in response to the continued high volume of people coming through our doors.   God continues to bless us as we reach out to communities within the Twin Cities who do not know the Good News of Jesus.
      I humbly ask for your attention to the following needs:
1. We have been short a board member for the last six months despite our best efforts to recruit.  We will be losing two more at the end of their terms in April.  Would you please post the following message in your bulletins, newsletters, and/or any other suitable congregational communication?
Volunteer needed for the Board of Christian Life Ministries. 
God continues to bless CLM with growing opportunities to serve the physical and spiritual needs of people in the Twin Cities.  We need a volunteer to complete a three-year board term that began in April 2019.  Experience with budget management and financial reporting preferred, but not required.  Must be able to regularly attend board meetings in Little Canada on the third Thursday of the month plus assist with other special projects as needed, averaging 4-6 hours per month.  Please contact James Fischer at jcfischer6036@gmail.com or 320-309-6036 for more information or to arrange a visit of our ministry.  

2. Please consider downloading one or all of the following videos to your website (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u0515k9xi0ybuoq/AACfVaf_ea7WozVsj7ZhLkgRa?dl=0), showing them on your Life Sunday, posting a link to our website (www.clmonline.com), or liking us on Facebook.
3. If you have a member who is looking for a new way to volunteer, we could use their help in our Thrift Store.  They can call (651) 649-3538 to learn more.
I thank you for your time, your prayers, and your encouragement.

In Christ,
Jamie Fischer
