We are mailing out our second letter this week. You can view it HERE.
Thank you to those that have already joined our support team both in prayer and in finances. We feel blessed by you all and are VERY thankful for your support! In the first month, with your help, we have raised 8% of our one-time cost of $23,000 to move to New Orleans and 5% of our committed monthly sustainable support of $8,500/month.

We had someone that called us today in response to our letter. Fortunately they knew our cell phone number and were able to get a hold of us that way. They told us that they tried calling the number on the letter, our home number, but no one answered and it didn’t kick into voicemail either. But rather it just rang, and rang, and rang.
That seemed odd, so I asked them what number was on the letter. They told me that they called 366-3675 and that’s when I realized…..we printed the wrong number on the newsletter! Aauugh!
So, if you found your way here to our website and want to give us a call regarding our letter (or anything else) see previous post or you can find our correct number on our contact page.

Our first Newsletter went out last Friday. If you do not recieve one this week, don’t worry, you can read it right here by clicking on the NEWSLETTERS page above. You can also read more about what we are doing by clicking on the ABOUT, COMMUNITAS:NEW ORLEANS, and SUPPORT pages above.
As you read through the letter we would like to encourage you to ask us questions about our mission that God is calling us into. You can either:
- Write your questions in the comment section of this post (all you need is a name and an e-mail address) and all can see and benefit from the dialogue. (don’t worry - your e-mail will not be published).
- Write your questions on a napkin and send it by snail-mail (with a stamp). We will respond, it will just take longer.
- Write your questions to us in an e-mail. Simply click on the CONTACT page above and you can find both e-mail and physical addresses.
- Or you can call us using your land-line or cell phone. In fact we would prefer to talk live and answer any questions in real-time! Our phone number is on the CONTACT page as well.
Also, if you do not think that we have your phone number, please shoot us an e-mail or call and let us know what it is. We do intend on calling you as a follow-up to our letter, and this will make it easier.
As you know, a team of committed supporters is absolutely necessary for our unique contribution to church leaders, their communities around the world and more specifically, our assignment with CRM and Communitas:New Orleans. This team is composed of people who both support us in prayer and finances. We are asking that you prayerfully consider joining our team to make this mission a reality. We look forward to hearing from you soon and are eager to share in more detail about this mission that God has laid on our hearts.
Sincerly, The ZookCrew
