My Quick Update
CAR
Today the car was going to be finally fixed.
But the oil light kept coming on and it stalled.
Suspect that the cause is the oil pump.
My car will get a computer diagnostic next week.
CROWN
The Crown financial small group is exceeding my high expectations.
It is wonderful to review the biblical principles repeated to money in a group.
Also at the same time the course is leading me to bring order to my finances.
There are practical lessons that are very helpful.
Crown as a website that might help you and those you know.
Take a look at http://financialhope.com/
FLOW CHART
I have made the first sketch of a flowchart to aim me toward income online.
Creating an interactive website can become endlessly complicated.
There are dozens of small projects that could take my time.
In the long term I look forward to having all kinds of bells and whistles.
But my tight cash flow is screaming that I need to aim for income fast.
It could take me 300 hours to make a core site with all the cool stuff.
Or with FOCUS I could launch a very streamlined version in 30 to 40 hours.
So please pray for FOCUS.
MONEY
My financial situation is the worst it has ever been.
I have contributed hundreds of dollars for the medicine for Shebaa this year.
There have been unexpected costs to repair the car.
I planned to launch the passive income website early in January.
All of that has finally caught up with me.
During the coming week I will be requesting special prayers about money.
God has taken me through storms like this many times before.
It gets down to requesting much prayer and then talking with a few people.
And usually God adds one or more supporters.
God makes a way where there seems like no way.
He has done it before and He will do it again.

3 Prayer Needs
This is the season for three difficult transitions.
There have been hundreds of hours of research and planning.
This is the time to share that online and offline.
Plus the weekly reports for Shebaa and me needs to become a reality.
There are 3 areas for your prayers.
ONLINE CORE
THANKFULLY many screencast videos were recorded before the trail period expired.
I am in the process of putting these on a new wiki.
That will allow feedback like comments, suggestions and questions.
These online screencast videos will also have links from a new website for Pie Bridges.
I am in the process of preparing the central site that will link to many other parts later.
Segmenting the email list is also partway done.
There will be various options for those who choose to pray or learn about earning online.
The most profitable part during the early stage is called an affiliate showcase.
This is where I will promote the top 3 percent of the hundreds of sites I have visited.
My commissions for those links range from 30 to 50 percent.
When all these parts are in place and connected then I will promote them.
That will lead to income immediately and it will increase as I make improvements.
My passion is to teach people who to earn passive income online.
I know that I will do very well and so will many others.
Again I need many times of anointed concentration in the Creativity Zone.
Only as I abide in the True Vine can I bear good fruits.
I have tried in the energy of the flesh but I cannot even get started.
God has answered this kind of prayer dozens of times in amazing ways before
OFFLINE CORE
Sooner than later I need to meet face to face with prospective donors.
I will be showing them an overview of both the ministry and business.
I will be explaining that I have known hundreds of seminary students and graduates.
All of them have much to offer the body of Christ yet there typical income is very small.
Teaching them and other Christian workers to grow an online business will set them free.
This is like a modern tent making trade.
That will have a huge long term impact for the Kingdom of God.
Besides serving the seminary students and graduates that I love many others will be blessed.
This will also be part of the system that I take with serving those impacted by hurricanes.
The goal is to get into the habit of meeting with two qualified donors a week.
Also the goal is making a presentation to two groups of donors a month that is video taped.
When I meet with them I will be showing the murals of the Big Picture/
Recently God gave me the initial rough sketch of these units.
I will leave them with a business card, brochure and CD with lots of data.
Many of them will go to the website before making a major donation.
So that is why the online core needs to be operational first.
REPORTS
For a very long time I have been talking about weekly reports for Shebaa and me.
God has blessed me with a wonderful administrative assistant.
She has lots of experience and many skills.
We get along great.
We have met a few times at the seminary.
What we need to develop soon is a simple template for Shebaa and me.
These weekly reports will be shared for prayer and funding.
At one level this is a very simple project.
But there have been many delays and interruptions.
Pray for God to make a way for this to begin soon.
THANKS again for each prayer.
When you pray call on the name of the Lord and expect Him to answer soon.
John 6:48 PM
