Project 600

A Small Pause…

YWAM Targu Mures — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:33:19 +0000

Today was the day. The one day that we’ve all been waiting for… since February 14th at least. With contract in hand, along with the local representative of who we’re purchasing the building from, it was off to the bank… but then there was a “pause”. Only a minor complication, but the paperwork has now been pushed back until this next coming Monday (Feb 27).

Since there is still money in transit through banks and mail serices, we are also slightly short of what we need. We have faith that it will all come in by Monday. All of the money that wee need is out there… somewhere. We’ve been so blessed by the pledges and donations from all around the world and this past week has been an incredible journey for us with God. If you’ve pledge and havn’t had the opportunity to send us your information, then please let us know the date and method of transaction to help us track when and where donations have/will come.

Thank you again for your partnership and we will keep you updated as the rest of this journey unfolds!

Faithful Anticipation

YWAM Targu Mures — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:47:05 +0000

Have you ever felt suspense, anticipation, excitement and faith all at the same time? We have! With our 10 day extension ending on Friday we are continuing to stand in faith and expectation for God’s plan. We have to have 80,000 Euros in the bank in order to enter into “Plan B” for the next year and a half. However, “Plan A” of 300,000 total Euros is not out of God’s reach! Keep praying with us these next few days for immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20).

The Journey Continues

YWAM Targu Mures — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:51:37 +0000

This journey has been amazing so far! In a span of a few days we have seen God move in amazing ways and we were overwhelmed by the generosity of our YWAM family, churches and people all over the world!

It is now February 14th and we are still in the building; using it for the base. We have realized that with all the pledges coming in, the process of transferring the funds will take longer so the owner extended our deadline to February 24th. We can breathe. God has sent an amazing amount of 104,000 Euros ($137,000 US), but it wasn’t enough to buy the building at full price.

Along with the extended time, the owner has given us a new option. They have offered for us to buy the building with an installment plan over the next year and half. The plan requires us to give 80,000 Euros ($105,300 US) in addition to the down payment we currently gave thru the rent-to-own contract of 24,000 Euros ($31,600 US) which equals the total of what we have received at 104,000 Euros ($137,000). This will help give the mission’s base a building to use and time to invite others to partner with us. We are still believing that God can bring in all the funds by February 24th.

If you’ve already given via bank transfer over the last few days, please let us know and send us the information so we can better track all of the funds that have been coming in.

Please continue to pray that all the pledges arrive in the next 10 days and that others will join. We are trusting God for a financial miracle and looking forward to a great celebration in the near future!

Praise God!

YWAM Targu Mures — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:36:53 +0000

God is good! Yesterday, one of our Leadership Team shared at a YWAM leaders gathering in London and we received the incredible blessing of 25,300 Euros! There are also approximately 3,000 US Dollars in the mail from various locations. It’s amazing to watch how God is bringing everything together. We’re in the last few days of our race and still need to see 186,000 Euros come in by the 14th. If you feel God calling you to give, just simply go to our PayPal link on our blog at: www.project600.wordpress.com. A journey with God is never boring, amen?

God Bless,
Jerry Busch and the YWAM Targu Mures staff

The Last Days

YWAM Targu Mures — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 13:42:21 +0000

We are holding our breath as the last days approach in expectation of what God will do. Project 600 has been amazing to communicate what we’re doing; we’ve made many new friends and ministry connections while seeing ministry really take off. We have faith that our God is faithful, and we know He never fails, but we would be lying if we said we weren’t a little nervous! It will be exciting to see how God plans to show His glory through this process.

In the last week, God has kept us quite busy! One of our leaders, Jerry Busch, has just returned from an encouraging trip to America where he was able to make multiple connections and walk through a few doors that have been closed until now. There are still multiple churches and business men that are praying and deciding on how and what to give. Our other leader abroad, Florin Mereu, is now in England getting ready to share the vision of Project 600 with a leadership gathering for Western Europe. Keep him in prayer as he shares and leads a time of giving for the building.

Just in the past week, we’ve gotten a total of 8 new partners and 3 large YWAM bases will be taking an offering towards Project 600. If you’ve been praying about joining us in the final push, then now is the time. We’re believing for a miracle, please stand with us as we wait in expectation for this vision to become a reality.

1 To donate – We still need 218,000 Euros (436 partners). Although the mountain seems huge, we choose to look at the God of that mountain. Although we challenge our partners to donate 500 Euros each (aprox $750) any amount given cheerfully is appreciated.

2 Pray with us in the next 7 days – There are a lot of schedules to juggle, things to plan and oversee. Pray our team will be strengthened; pray against discouragement.

The Finals, Week 2

YWAM Targu Mures — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:04:14 +0000

It has been amazing to see that the closer we come to the deadline, the greater our faith has become. God’s favor is increasing beyond what we thought possible just a few months ago. Since our final stage began in January, we’ve been receiving new partners and pledges from all around the world joining the vision of Project 600. Just these past few days have seen 4 new Project 600 partners and a few doors that have just recently opened. We’ve also received an incredible donation of $5,000 USD!

As we said in our last update, 2 of our leaders are currently traveling abroad sharing the vision of Project 600. Our leader traveling in Europe, Florin, is speaking today to a gathering of leaders while our base leader, Jerry, has been meeting with church leaders and business men in America for the past few days. One of the most exciting meetings that has taken place involved a business man who has a heart to join us in ministry around the city in amazing ways! We’re looking forward to advancing the Kingdom of God together in the future.

You’ve probably heard of Project 600, but have you prayed about joining hundreds of others in this vision? The 3 ways to join are simple:

1 To donate – We still need 218,000 Euros (436 partners). Although the mountain seems huge we choose to look at the God of the mountain. Although we challenge our partners to donate 500 Euros each (aprox $750) any amount given cheerfully is appreciated.

2 Pray with us in the next 2 weeks – There are a lot of schedules to juggle, things to plan and oversee, traveling to be done. Pray our team will be strengthened; pray against discouragement.

YWAM Targu Mures — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:56:27 +0000

Our journey of faith continues. In seeking God’s provision we were more awakened towards His face as well. Our times of corporate prayer and worship have been enriched and we are challenged as individuals as well to seek and pursue growth in different areas in our lives. God is at work in us and we are thankful.

1 To donate – We still need 225,500 Euros (451 partners). Although the mountain seems huge we choose to look at the God of the mountain. Although we challenge our partners to donate 500 Euros each (aprox $750) any amount given cheerfully is appreciated.
