Dearest Praying Friends,

Once our dear Donna left us and the administrative duties of N.M., we accelerated the work of strategic planning and staff development. One of the outgrowths of this has been the defining of a new job title: that of a FULL TIME administrative position.

We are getting this JOB DESCRIPTION out and about and wonder if someone might come to mind as you read this. Meanwhile, we cherish your intercession on all the major and minor pieces and parts of this work.

God Bless you,
Kit

(Though the job description doesn't say this, it would be wonderful if the person you pray for is bi-lingual -- Spanish)
