In September, the office which since the beginning of our movement has been located at Trinity United Methodist Church in Bakersfield, California, moved to be close to our now full-time Executive Director, Jim Gentile. All requests for help, information, speakers and workshops should go to him. Right now the newsletter is being published at Trinity, but that too will change when the necessary post office permits are obtained. Donations for 1998 should continue to be sent to Bakersfield until December 31, 1998. After that donations should go to the Philadelphia office.
Equipment is needed for the new office including a computer.
We are also needing to raise more money now that he is full time. A fund-raising letter has gone out to our supporters. Please pray that God will bless our efforts. Our next national Transforming Congregations Board meeting will be held in January in Atlanta. Bud was one of the original founders of our movement.
