October was a wild ride and we are so thankful for the amazing time it was. Over the course of the last six weeks we saw family, made friends and were used in new ways. We hope that this letter wraps up not just the ministry, but the joy in serving the Lord.
If you recall we wrapped up September in Wisconsin for ten days with family and friends. Our time was very profitable as it allowed for connecting with family, friends, and sharing our desire to serve the Lord with the people of Paraguay. Since our return from Wisconsin we are excited to announce that Brookridge Church of Plover, WI has joined our support team. We are very thankful for this church body and what the Lord is doing in their lives. Stay tuned if you want to know where we are at in monthly financial support…
The first two weekends of October we spent at a few amazing churches in Oregon. We are very thankful for the prayer warriors at both Ukiah and Long Creek that we were able to make. These two churches were such a great blessing to us. Then we spent an amazing couple days in Salem connecting with Missionaries Steve and Mendi Everett where we were able to share our ministry with their home church. Faith Baptist Church was a joy to minister with and we are excited for the connections we made and to see how the Lord might work our ministries together.
After wrapping up two weekends in Oregon I, Jared, hopped on a plane and headed to Iowa. While in Iowa I was able to stay with Michael Fowler (my brother-in-law) and his family. I spent the week at Faith Baptist Bible College encouraging the students on campus at the Global Reach Conference. I was also blessed to make great contacts with different missionaries and ministries around the world. I am thankful for the staff and students at FBBC. What a true blessing it was to be back on campus after 11 years.
The end of the trip I was able to share what God has called us to in partnering with nationals in theological training and church planting with Anchor Baptist Church in Des Moines, IA and then with Altoona Regular Baptist Church in Altoona, IA. The pastors of both of these churches are great encouragement to me as we prepare for full-time ministry. I was blessed by the people who took time to engage in conversation after the presentations to know more about what God has called us to. Thank you Pastor Capon and Pastor Robinson for the opportunity.
Are you ready for the NEWS?!?
Wrapping up the month of October we are so thankful for the many who have joined our team in praying for us regularly. It is amazing to see how the Lord has brought together so many faithful people to partner with us in ministry. We are also very excited to announce that we are now 51% in monthly support partners. We are making plans for entering ministry full-time and already booking a very busy schedule for 2022.
“God Loves ME!” While traveling may not be his favorite, he has enjoyed making new friends along the way.
Please Praise the Lord with us as He has blessed us with another fruitful month of ministry. Also please pray as we continue to be steadfast in service. We are taking the month to connect and nail down some meetings for 2022. Look forward to seeing YOU!
