Worshipfest 2011 Cancelled

Greetings,

It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that we have to cancel Worshipfest 2011. The Board of Directors had a meeting while Matthew Lilley was on sabbatical and determined that we do not have the financial means to be able to have Worshipfest this year.

As most of you know, Matthew raises his support through 6:22 Ministries. He lost several partners in the past through months due the financial constraints of the donors. His support dropped over $600 a month. The Board of Directors told Matthew that he must stop all planning for Worshipfest and concentrate on fund raising so that he can support his family. Matthew in the past has been the main person who organized Worshipfest and so without a primary organizer Worshipfest just cannot be held.

6:22 Ministries has lost several donors due to the economy. Our bank account is very low and we are just barely meeting our Boiler Room expenses. We just do not know how we could cover the costs of promotion, bands, etc. if we had Worshipfest.

So we are cancelling Worshipfest for this year. But we trust the Lord for greater times ahead. Please pray for provision for the ministry, and for wisdom/grace as Matthew endeavor’s to raise some money. We are starting back our Friday night meetings this week, and we are very excited about what God has in store this fall! We are kind of frustrated but not totally discouraged. We still believe strongly in God's desire for 6:22 and His goodness to provide for us.

Thanks and our greatest blessings to you.

Donnie Luper
Treasurer for the 6:22 Board of Directors
