Lottie Moon marks a huge decline from 2007

The 2008 number was still 94% of the record year in 2007. I think most entities or businesses would be thrilled with that number. It would have been nice to set a new record or reach the goal, but I wouldn't call it a "huge slide down."

William,

It used to be that Lottie Moon was advertised as just supporting projects...no admin overhead taken out, no salaries.

Now, granted my second-hand knowledge is some 20-odd years old, do you have any idea how many FT folks are supported by LM? Or how many "project people"? Or how many folks "who are not classified as Full Time", since that number has seemed to burgeon, at least anecdotally.

Thanks,

Gary

Ed, I do remember those days around the cafeteria table. Dr. Anderson was one of those men that I just wanted to be around and see what nuggets would come out.

As to the SBC numbers in 2007, I do agree.

I have recently moved back to Louisville, so I will miss you in WPB. My kids and grandkids are mostly here. I do miss the beach, but love being back around them.

Thanks for the comments about the blog. It has been difficult to write about some of these things, but helpful for me and I hope for others.

If in Louisville, let me know.
