From Your Director . . .

Some time ago, one of our donors asked to be emailed when needs arise for ThePath. It has been some time since I have done so, and not to say that we can dosomething directly about the needs. But we may know those who can help Godbless you all.

1. The Path bargain store must now hook up to the water system. Estimated costsare about $4,500 from start to finish. The store is a mile and a half east ofCounty Road 491 on State Road 44.

2. The bargain store is in need of several very large sheds or one large metalbuilding to put on the back of the property for storage.

3. The upstairs loft to the store is permitted to have an office, but we need buildingmaterials of wood and drywall to complete.

4. The farm for growing crops is in need of a person who can watch the crops andapply some water and fertilizer now and then. It is 10 acres and we have justrecently planted cucumbers for the spring crop.

5. We need to upgrade our computer applications to MS Office 2003.6. We have several positions for volunteers, especially phone calls. We also have

paid positions open.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. By Gods grace we are grow-ing, and the lives of our clients are being touched by the gospel and changed in theprocess.
