Garry Norton Apprenticeship Update: April 2024

Greetings Friends!

I hope that your Easter was absolutely fantastic! A friend at my church decided to bring her rabbit, Lily, to church that day. It was fantastic

Things have really been picking up this month. This week we started training Christian groups on the CSUF campus on how to make disciples through doing Bible dialogues. Grace taught this week, I’ll teach next week, and Erik will teach the week after that. Nick has been there to help but has been throwing us in and having us do things more independently. That’s the biggest prayer request that I have for you at this time. The groups that are there represent both Catholics and Protestants, and we are so very thankful to be able to come together as brothers and sisters without any animosity or reservations about the other!

Last Tuesday night, our team had the pleasure of hosting Samson and Priscilla Retnaraj while they were in the area! They say hello!

As far as fundraising goes, I’m 97% funded! I’m so very close! I’m still very much in need of more prayer partners who would be willing to partner with me in this ministry that I’m doing here in California. If you know of anyone that’d be interested, would you send them my way? Anyway, feel free to reply and send me prayer requests or updates! We’re partners, after all!

By the Light,

Garry


You can support me through prayer and financial giving. I need and appreciate both so that I can reach 100% in both areas. I currently have 137 prayer partners and have a goal of 250. If you know anyone who would like to pray for me, please forward this form to them.

I am currently 97% fundraised for my ten-month apprenticeship. If you are a current monthly supporter, thank you. If not, it would bless me tremendously if you would sign up for a recurring gift. I am currently looking for financial supporters to support me through October 2024.

There are four ways to partner with me:

  • Online. Visit our personal support webpage at https://catalog.friendsmission.com/apprentice. Please select my name “Garry Norton” at check out. You’ll be given the opportunity to indicate whether you are making a recurring or one-time gift.
  • Credit Card. This may be given online (as stated above) or by calling the EFM office (303-421-8100) to give your information to a live person.
  • Automatic Bank Transfer. Download the form here and email it to Debby McElroy (EFM Bookkeeper) at debby@friendsmission.com. Please note that ACH payments are processed on the 10th or 25th of the month.
  • Check. Mail a check to EFM, P.O. Box 771139, Wichita, KS 67277. Make sure to mark your check “Garry Norton Apprenticeship Support” and note if you will be giving on a recurring basis (monthly, quarterly, etc.). Pay to the order of “EFM.”
