But we do need to remind you that we rely entirely upon regular and\/or one-off donations from our friends and supporters to enable us to keep going. This has always been so, right from that very first \u201cstep of faith\u201d that we took in 1984, and nothing has changed!

No one is an expert at this, but every follower of Jesus is able to hear from him, sometimes in very simple ways.
