Dear Friends,
2018 brings some important changes regarding my support account. As promised in my last update, here’s a quick overview of what’s new (and a few crucial details). 
As part of some restructuring within the Southeast District (SED) and the National office of the EFCA, the SED has created a new partner organization tailored specifically for the growing number of SED church planters. This organization, Planting Churches Ministries (PCM), is a non-profit, tax-deductible organization, and is fully aligned with the Southeast District of the EFCA. PCM will now handle the donor and accounting services no longer provided by the SED.
Here’s a couple reasons why I’m excited about PCM. Stewardship: Without this change, an increased amount (up to 10%) of your donations would go towards district and national overhead expenses. With PCM, your donations to my ministry account will stay consistent with previous years.  Partnerships: This platform can lead to more partnerships across denominational lines. I’ve been grateful to see the “manifold wisdom of God” expressed in the diversity of churches who have partnered with us over the years. I’m hopeful our affiliation with PCM can open doors to reach even more ears and hearts. I’m not changing jobs. Most of what I do will continue as usual. My role and ministry activities with Radiant will continue as in previous years. I will continue to be an SED church planter. Radiant will continue to be under the EFCA umbrella. My ministry oversight will continue to be with the SED. What will be different for you and me this year? My financial oversight will now be with PCM. Your donations will now go to a new PCM address and website. Your tax-deductible receipts (and my W-2) will now come from PCM. As we make the switch to PCM, please pray for our team of church planters. Pray for wisdom to see where God is moving around us, and for provision as we and our support teams adjust to this transition.
I greatly value, and trust, how God leads you in our partnership in the Gospel, and I marvel at how, through you, He has provided for all our needs—often before I mention them. Will you please take a moment to review the new details (attached) and update your giving information with PCM so you can continue to invest in this ministry as God leads you?   Because He lives,
Mike
