An Update for those of you praying with me about this:
Currently a website is in process thanks to the host of this blog. I recommend mindfulmission as a blog or website creator. Also a new logo has been constructed which will be found at the website in due time.
Funding is a difficult challenge. Many people are interested in the project until you ask them for funding. Foothill Community Church, who has graciously accepted CNI has asked that a $5000 buffer come in before beginning the ministry. This means I need to raise a minimum of $15000 prior to working on CNI full-time. If you have any contacts that would be interested in funding the operation, please let me know.
The Board of Advisers is beginning to be selected. I have asked one significant person if he would consider sitting on the board and will meet with him soon hopefully. I have also a few others on the table to ask for their involvement in this way.
As of now, things are rolling, but slowly. It is a fun venture and one I really believe is necessary for the San Gabriel Valley. I am regularly excited when I work on it and share the vision with people. I will see this thing out until fruition or until there is nothing more CNI can do to get established.
