We have continued to meet with, counsel and assist various ministry leaders.  These include a pastoral couple that are currently on a year sabbatical from leading a church, and another couple that is in need of a sabbatical and have been discussing what that may look like with them and their board.  Then there are the pastors from St. Croix who have lost everything in the hurricanes.  We are expecting that they will be coming to Colorado after the beginning of the year. 

We have met with several new individuals in the past month.  Some are intending to go back to Bangladesh when God opens that door and another family has just moved here from Nepal.  So God continues to make connections for us and we are blessed to be able to come along-side each of them. 
 
In August, the Lord instructed an individual to donate to Blue Fire Legacy.  We met this gentleman, who lives in Austin TX, at the Cultivate Revival conference in Denver.  Those funds covered the cost of that conference plus the airfare and rental car for the upcoming Care Givers Forum with a little left over.
 
Then, a few weeks ago, we received an email of blessing and notice that an individual donated an amount equal to double the contribution received at the conference in Denver to Blue Fire Legacy.  He said his hope is that the Lord will multiply it and use it to provide an RV for us to travel and minister.  We are still in awe of our mighty Father and His provisions.

Furthermore, we are enjoying watching as God provides for those around us.  The pizza fundraiser organized to assist relief efforts in St. Croix raised almost $500; our thanks to Danielle and Marco’s Pizza for doing this.  The container being filled with additional supplies for St. Croix was shipped to the island, and the organizers of that project were pleased with the available supplies and donations.   
 
We are nearing the end of renovations and are both thrilled about that.  Completion not only means we’ve reached a significant milestone and the ability to enjoy the new house, but it also affords the ability to host couples in our home.

As we shift from house renovations to more administrative and ministry time, we are developing more avenues for donations.  If you shop on Amazon.com, we would appreciate you considering the Amazon Smile portal.  When you register, please select Blue Fire Legacy in Westcliffe, CO (probably easiest to type it in rather than scrolling through options) as the charity you wish to support with a percentage of your purchases.  Please remember that you must start all purchases through www.smile.amazon.com for Blue Fire Legacy to receive the donation.  
 
We will be traveling October 28^th through November 1^st for the Care Givers Forum in Asheville, NC.  We are looking forward to a time of refreshing and connections with other ministers who minister to ministers (say that multiple times fast and see what happens). 
 
The book continues to sell slowly.  We’ve not yet completed the task of getting it on Amazon. So for now, you may order the book through www.BlueFireLegacy.org and we’ll send you a signed copy.  If you know of someone that would like a copy, please consider purchasing one for them as the gift giving season approaches.
 
We had another book signing this past Saturday.  Our book signing led to opportunities to pray over individuals that came into the bookstore and visited with us.  We also spoke with the store owner, Heather, about the possibility of offering a class on our book beginning in January.  Please continue to uphold this matter in prayer as we ask God for clarity.

 
Thank you to each one of you that is diligent to pray for us and check on us.
