Dear Prayer Partners,
Thank you so very much for continuing to pray with us!
Would you please pray with us for the Lord to help us finish the remaining process of fundraising? God is leading us in exciting ways, and the expansion of his work requires more funds. We still need to raise about $2,000 per month in ongoing giving toward our ministry funds in Central/East Africa. These funds help with communication, transportation, and other things that are needed for whole-life discipleship and missionary sending in the region. We are confident that the Lord will lead those he is calling to give toward this ministry. Below is a group of future missionaries from Rwanda and the U.S. visiting a community in South Sudan on a recent trip.
If you have been giving and plan to continue, please let us know so we can know what to expect in the coming years.
One observation we have made is that many of those who have been giving financially for many years are over 60 years old. And in the last four years quite a few of them have passed away. We are asking God to raise up younger generations to catch the vision of God’s mission in the world. We believe that God asks us to give our time, prayer, finances, and lives to join him in what he is doing. If you have never given towards God’s mission among the nations, consider asking God where you should give and start by giving $5 per month to that ministry.
Is he asking you to join us with an ongoing monthly gift? If so, please see below for four ways to partner with us financially.
Thank you for partnering with us!
