The Dusty Cover - Update & Request for Help


Alas, due to another set of unavoidable delays, Christmas holidays and other factors, we have had to delay opening The Dusty Cover until mid-January 2008. In the long run it will mean a better launch, but it is a little discouraging. Keep us in prayer as we navigate these obsticles.

One significant challenge we are facing as a result of the delays is a shortage of finances for the bookstore. Expecting to be open months ago, our finances have dried up. Therefore, please pray with us for God's provision. If any of you would like to help support our ministry, click here for details. All financial donations are tax deductible.

We really believe this missional third place is going to be a significant addition to our inner city community. We refuse to give up, regardless of all the challenges. All of your prayer and support are greatly appreciated. Thanks all. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

3 - Jamie. Would a box of good, clean, sellable books help, or do you have inventory under control? If you need some decent books, I can unload some to help you with your launch. Of course you may just end up keeping them for yourself! Drop me an e-mail sometime.

Blessings,

4 - Ed,

Good, clean salable book are always great, but because we are not open yet, it doesn't solve our immediate challenge. Thanks!
