Live Pulsing for your viewing pleasure ladies and gentleman! Here I sit at the Surrender conference, bored, missing Dennis’ funeral (Amanda is there) so that I can talk to folks about our work and, hopefully, find people who will be interested in joining the Servants family in some way. Have already made a stunning connection that might well lead to a constant source of future House Managers – all of whom would be Christian and with a great desire to serve. Exciting!

I have mentioned in Pulse of late about the developing Servants/Hawthorn Community Chest relationship. This has been going great guns. Yesterday their CEO informed me that Servants has been chosen by HCC as the recipient of raised funds from their upcoming President’s Cocktail Party. This is insane! I am too fearful to think how many $$$$ might be forthcoming from 180 invited guests!

Yesterday the first interviews began for the Narrative book. It was an exhilarating session as the 2 Xavier authors, James and Hamish, spent an hour with Juan from Carrical. It was everything I had hoped and expected it to be – and more!!

I am planning on printing 20,000 copies of Narrative. To date we have printed 5300 and 5000 copies of Anthology. I believe the time is right to print significantly more copies of the follow-up book. As such I suggest that we concentrate all incoming donation and fundraising $$$ for this year into the costs of funding Narrative. I anticipate that over the course of the year we will see significantly more $$$ coming in via donations and fundraising than we will require for costs associated with Narrative.
