<ul>
<li>El Señor protegió las vidas de los misioneros y líderes nacionales durante la pandemia y trajo sanidad a quienes se infectaron con COVID-19. Esto mismo es verdad de las personas con las que trabajan.</li>
<li>Pudimos, a través de nuestro fondo de emergencia, ayudar a proveer para algunas de las necesidades creadas por la propagación de COVID-19. Doce campos se beneficiaron de sus generosas donaciones. La mayor parte se utilizó para comprar alimentos y artículos de higiene.</li>
<li>Pudimos construir nueve viviendas para familias vulnerables que perdieron sus hogares en el pasado mes de abril debido a la inundación que arrasó la ciudad de Uvira, Congo. También se distribuyó ayuda en el mes de agosto a familias de los Amigos que fueron desplazadas debido a la guerra civil en el Congo.</li>
<li>La familia de Brad y Chelsea Carpenter, que sirve en Ruanda, África, pudo regresar a los Estados Unidos para tener un tiempo de descanso, sanidad y delegación. La familia Carpenter le dieron la bienvenida a su nuevo bebé, llamado Ian, antes de salir de Ruanda.</li>
<li>María Girón, la Movilizadora de Misiones para Amigos Hispanos, pudo traducir la carta mensual de oración de EFM al español, así como muchas de sus actualizaciones y materiales de recaudación de fondos.</li>
<li>El Catálogo de Navidad de EFM tuvo otro gran año. Muchas, muchas familias (tanto creyentes como no creyentes) están siendo bendecidas con regalos prácticos y ahora se apoyan con fondos a ministerios de varios tipos.</li>
<li>No sufrimos pérdida de ingresos debido a la pandemia. En cambio, finalizamos con uno de los resultados financieros más sólidos en la historia de EFM.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Se hicieron nuevos discípulos de Jesucristo y se plantaron algunas iglesias nuevas a pesar de que el movimiento físico estaba restringido debido a la pandemia.</li>
<li>Muchas iglesias llegaron a audiencias más amplias al realizar sus servicios de adoración en línea y usar otros medios como Facebook.</li>
<li>En mayo, la Mesa Directiva de EFM se sintió impulsada a comprometerse a enviar al menos 10 nuevas familias de misioneros de América del Norte para iniciar al menos 5 nuevos campos para el 31 de diciembre de 2025. A esto lo llamamos la &#8220;<a href="https://friendsmission.com/meta-de-cinco-anos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-link-type="web">Meta de Cinco Años</a>&#8220;. Se desarrolló un plan estratégico y se están implementando los primeros pasos.</li>
<li>Se produjo un <a href="https://youtu.be/YX0nLdHBANY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-link-type="web">breve video</a> para promover la meta de cinco años y ahora se está usando.</li>
<li>EFM renovó su enfoque para educar a los niños de los Amigos sobre las misiones mediante la creación de una nueva serie llamada &#8220;Enfoque de misiones para niños&#8221;. Se prepararon y distribuyeron lecciones que contaban la historia de la primera misionera enviada por Amigos Evangélicos en América del Norte y el fruto del ministerio que ella inició. Su nombre era Esther Butler y fue enviada por la Junta Anual de Ohio (ahora llamada Iglesia Evangélica Amigos-Región Este) a China en 1887.</li>
<li>Hubo mas avance en la incorporación en los sistemas de EFM de 10 familias de misioneros/obreros nacionales y 9 campos. Las tarjetas de oración de todas estas familias están ahora disponibles, así como información sobre sus ministerios en <a href="https://friendsmission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-link-type="web">www.friendsmission.com</a>. Estos misioneros y obreros nacionales fueron puestos bajo el cuidado de EFM por la Junta Anual del Noroeste y Iglesia Evangélica Amigos-Región Este en 2018 y 2019 respectivamente.</li>
<li>La Junta Anual de Indiana se convirtió en miembro asociado de EFM. Ahora hay ocho Juntas Anuales y regiones en América del Norte que están colaborando a través de EFM para alcanzar a más personas del mundo para Cristo.</li>
<li>Se establecieron dos equipos de apoyo al campo misionero (FST, por sus siglas en ingles), uno para Bangladesh y otro para África Central. Los FST son grupos de cinco a seis personas que ayudan a cuidar a los misioneros y obreros nacionales en esos campos en particular. Anticipamos aprender de estos dos grupos (y un equipo similar que comenzamos en 2019 que ayuda a enviar profesores de inglés a un país de acceso creativo) para que podamos establecer muchos más en los meses y años venideros.</li>
<li>La Conferencia Internacional de Multiplicación de Iglesias de los Amigos, que EFM apoyó de varias maneras, se llevó a cabo en línea en el mes de noviembre. Más de 500 líderes de los Amigos de todo el mundo participaron a través de Zoom y YouTube. Las reuniones de oración fueron especialmente poderosas. Muchos de los talleres y mensajes se están transmitiendo a otras personas para estimular la multiplicación de iglesias.</li>
</ul>
<p>Estamos agradecidos por la afiliación en el evangelio que tenemos con usted, ¡y esperamos continuar esa afiliación en el 2021 y más allá!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We will not soon forget the year 2020! But even in the midst of a worldwide pandemic EFM witnessed the Lord’s faithfulness and saw his mission move forward. Here are some of the highlights so you can rejoice with us!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19629" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="569" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-300x67.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-1024x228.jpg 1024w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-768x171.jpg 768w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-1536x341.jpg 1536w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-2048x455.jpg 2048w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Giving-Banner-600x133.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>The Lord protected the lives of the missionaries and national leaders during the pandemic and brought healing to those who became infected with COVID-19. The same is true of the people they work with.</li>
<li>We were able, through our emergency fund, to help meet some of the needs created by the spread of COVID-19. Twelve fields benefited from your generous giving. Most of it was used to buy food and hygiene items.</li>
<li>We were able to build nine homes for vulnerable families who lost their homes last April due to the flood that swept through the city of Uvira, Congo. Aid was also distributed in August to Friends families who were displaced because of civil war within the Congo.</li>
<li>The Brad and Chelsea Carpenter Family, who serves in Rwanda, Africa, was able to return to the U.S. for a time of rest, healing, and deputation. Carpenters welcomed baby Ian to their family before leaving Rwanda.</li>
<li>Maria Giron, the Missions Mobilizer for Hispanic Friends, was able to translate EFM’s monthly prayer letter as well as many of its updates and fundraising materials into Spanish.</li>
<li>EFM’s Christmas Catalog had another big year. Many, many families (both believers and unbelievers) are being blessed by practical gifts and ministries of various kinds are now funded.</li>
<li>We did not suffer loss of income due to the pandemic. Instead we had one of the strongest financial finishes in EFM’s history.</li>
</ul>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19628" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="569" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-300x67.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-1024x228.jpg 1024w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-768x171.jpg 768w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-1536x341.jpg 1536w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-2048x455.jpg 2048w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Year-In-Review-Banner-600x133.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<ul>
<li>New disciples of Jesus Christ were made and some new churches planted even though physical movement was restricted due to the pandemic.</li>
<li>Many churches reached wider audiences by holding their worship services online and using venues like Facebook.</li>
<li>In May the EFM Board felt led to commit to sending at least 10 new missionary households from North America to launch at least 5 new fields by December 31, 2025. We are calling this the “<a href="https://friendsmission.com/five-year-goal" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Five-Year Goal</a>.” A strategic plan was developed and the first steps are being implemented.</li>
<li>A <a href="https://youtu.be/q27QLIPvvsw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">short video</a> was produced to promote the Five-Year Goal and is now in use.</li>
<li>EFM revamped its approach to educating children about Friends missions by creating a new series called “Children’s Missions Focus.” Lessons were prepared and distributed that told the story of the first missionary sent by Evangelical Friends in North America and the fruit of the ministry she started. Her name was Esther Butler and she was sent by Ohio Yearly Meeting (now called Evangelical Friends Church-Eastern Region) to China in 1887.</li>
<li>Further progress was made in incorporating 10 missionary/national worker households and 9 fields into EFM’s systems. Prayer cards are now available for all these households as well as information about their ministries on <a href="http://www.friendsmission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.friendsmission.com</a>. These missionaries and national workers were put under the care of EFM by Northwest Yearly Meeting and Evangelical Friends Church-Eastern Region in 2018 and 2019 respectively.</li>
<li>Indiana Yearly Meeting became an associate member of EFM. There are now eight yearly meetings/regions in North America that are collaborating through EFM to reach more of the world for Christ.</li>
<li>Two Field Support Teams (FSTs) were set up, one for Bangladesh and the other for Central Africa. FSTs are groups of five-six people who assist in caring for the missionaries and national workers in those particular fields. We anticipate learning from these two groups (and a similar team we started in 2019 that helps send English teachers to a creative-access country) so that we can set up many more in the months and years to come.</li>
<li>The International Friends Church Multiplication Conference, which EFM supported in various ways, went totally online and took place in November. Well over 500 Friends leaders from around the world participated via Zoom and YouTube. The prayer gatherings were especially powerful. Many of the workshops and messages are being passed on to others in order to spur church multiplication.</li>
</ul>
<p>We are grateful for the partnership in the gospel that we have with you, and we are looking forward to continuing that partnership in 2021 and beyond!</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Bangladesh Newsletter</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">December 2020</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What dreadful days everyone is going through! In January, no one understood what is going to happen in the days and weeks ahead. But, even then, God is good! He is always good! In that time of uncertainty, God gave us a verse:</p>
<p><em>“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”</em> Isaiah 41:10</p>
<h5><strong>Let me share some of our joyful work that the Lord has helped to do in the midst of this crisis period.</strong></h5>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-19475 size-medium" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Adhikari-December-2020-1-300x217.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="217" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Adhikari-December-2020-1-300x217.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Adhikari-December-2020-1.jpg 514w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />A Day with Children:</strong> It was a joy to spend a day with 52 children on 16 November. It was the first public program of this year. There was lots of fun, including Bible storytelling, skits, learning new songs, and eating together. May the Lord raise this new generation for his kingdom work!</p>
<p><strong>Friends Church Multiplication Conference:</strong> We were able to connect globally through Zoom and YouTube and attend the Friends Church Multiplication Conference in November. A small group of people attended with us online and our city leaders and volunteers joined us at the EFC office. Many could not attend this conference because of language problems and not having access to the internet. We have planned to take the materials from the conference and organize them into a training program December 15-17, 2020. We are expecting 23 pastors and leaders will join with us. Pray for the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-19476 size-medium" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Adhikari-December-2020-2-300x185.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="185" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Adhikari-December-2020-2-300x185.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Adhikari-December-2020-2.jpg 536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Discipleship Training:</strong> We had our second public training program. 25 lay leaders participated from six Friends churches. Our local team worked very hard organizing this training. Husbands and wives mostly attended. Pray that the Holy Spirit leads them everyday.</p>
<p><strong>Mothers Gave Birth Children:</strong> We are so happy that some of our churches have given birth to new churches. Three new churches were born and 67 new believers took a public testimony of baptism. The Lord’s family is growing!</p>
<p><strong>Food Distribution:</strong> By the grace of God, we were able to distribute food again to needy people. It was a great blessing to the believers. We are so thankful to those who have shared their love to these people.</p>
<p><strong>Tube-Well Installation:</strong> We were able to install five tube-wells after a flood for drinking water. People are now getting fresh water for drinking.</p>

Our school principal and some of the teachers are positive which forced us to close the school and provide teaching online. Christmas programming for the school children and staff is canceled. We pray that we will be able to have regular teaching classes from January 2021 and have yearly examinations on time.</p>
<p><strong>CHILD CARE CENTER IN VILLAGE:</strong> Closed since April, but we are keeping in touch with our students by visiting their homes. If the Lord&#8217;s willing and government’s restrictions are lifted we will start them soon.</p>
<p><strong>NEW BELIEVER’S FELLOWSHIP:</strong> We are meeting in small groups in several villages. Our Pastor, Dhan Singh Dhurway, is planning to have a larger group in one village for a Christmas service. He has asked me to give the Christmas message. We hope that we will be able to have Christmas worship for new believers in one village farmhouse. Remember to pray for it. This fellowship is growing and we thank God for it.</p>
<p><strong>FARM:</strong> We had very little rain this year during Monsoon. Our well had no water and the previous well was also dry. We were forced to try another for another. Thank God that after a couple of trials we found good and plenty of water. This well will be able to provide water to our neighbors in the village and also for our need.</p>
<p><strong>BIBLE STUDY:</strong> During COVID, I wrote a Bible study on the &#8220;Family of Bethany&#8221; in Hindi basing on Luke 10:38-42 and John chapter 11:12-19. These are more than 100 pages. I am proofing it by a couple of good writers. It is almost ready to go to press. I need money to get 1000 copies printed. Please pray and help me in this work. I am sure it will be helpful book for the pastors and Bible school students. Please pray about it and help me in this project.</p>
<p><strong>FAMILY:</strong>  I am sorry to say that my younger brother who was a retired police officer died on November 26<sup>th</sup>. He left behind two daughters and one son and their families. Suzana is doing better. Our daughter Arpana Massey lives with us and is taking more responsibilities of our ministry. She is a trained teacher and is a widow with two children. Her son, Abhishay, is studying at the School of Evangelism in Greenville, NC and her daughter is doing pre-graduation studies here and lives with us. I am sure she will be in touch with you more. Our elder son, Arun, and his wife, Shobha, are ministering in state of Karnataka. They keep in touch with us and help us in our needs. Our younger son, Amit, and his family are in Dallas where he has a Tennis Academy. They are also doing well and keep in touch with us.</p>
<p>By the grace of God, I am doing well. The Lord has given me good health but after preaching for thirty minutes I have cramps which cause unbearable pain for short time. I also get tired easily, but the Lord is good to me and gives me daily strength.</p>
<p><strong>THANKS:</strong> I want to thank you for your prayers and kind support. We do appreciate your greetings and emails and your comments on Facebook and Messenger. Those are encouraging us. Your support is helpful to us in the ministry.</p>
<p>Yours in his grace,</p>
<p>Rev. Dr. Gabriel and Suzana Massey</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>La Familia Kibbe | </strong><strong>Sirviendo en Tailandia</strong></h2>
<p><strong><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-13628 alignright" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-300x200.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-768x512.jpg 768w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-600x400.jpg 600w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Introducción al ministerio</strong></p>
<p>Ben y Charity fueron enviados por primera vez a Tailandia por la Iglesia Amigos Damasco en 2012, para unirse a un equipo ya próspero, iniciado por los padres de Ben: David y Marilyn Kibbe junto con sus compañeros nacionales. Cuatro años después Ben Kibbe establece la Fundación El Camino, siendo una extensión del Ministerio Evangélico de los Amigos en Tailandia.</p>
<p>Después de pasar casi cuatro años en estudios de lengua y cultura llegó el momento de formalizar la organización y registrarse ante el Gobierno Tailandés. Desde entonces, el favor del Señor ha sido con La Fundación, tanto en su relación con comunidades, como su posición siendo una organización cristiana, con el gobierno tailandés.</p>
<p><strong>Enseñanza de la Biblia</strong></p>
<p>Desde 2011, David y su compañero Lahu, Charlee, han estado desarrollando y enseñando un currículo bíblico para hombres y mujeres que desean obtener una comprensión más profunda de la palabra de Dios y que desean enseñar a otros. Pastores, evangelistas y hacedores de discípulos, han estado estudiando cuatro días al mes, durante dos años para crecer en su relación con el Señor y estar mejor equipados para estudiar, enseñar y lo más importante, aplicar la verdad de Dios en su vida diaria. Actualmente hay 35 estudiantes. Charlee también está comenzando con dos nuevos grupos en dos lugares, ambos a unas cuatro horas de Chiang Rai.</p>
<p>Actualmente hay tres grupos que representan varias aldeas, reunidos en tres lugares diferentes en el norte de Tailandia. Aproximadamente 40 estudiantes asisten a estas sesiones mensuales. Charlee está entrenando a cinco hombres para ayudarlo en la enseñanza.</p>
<p><strong>Plantación de Iglesias</strong></p>
<p>La Iglesia El Camino se encuentra en la ciudad de Chiang Rai y tiene dos propósitos principales. El primero es llegar a las personas (tanto tailandesas como lahu) en cada ciudad que no tienen una Iglesia. El segundo es ser una Iglesia modelo así como una Iglesia misional. La visión de los líderes de la Iglesia es capacitar y apoyar a equipos que irán a las comunidades de las montañas y harán discípulos y plantarán Iglesias. El Pastor Solomon y el equipo han plantado una segunda Iglesia en el pueblo de Ja Saw Pa y actualmente están trabajando en dos comunidades adicionales.</p>
<p><strong>Desarrollo Comunitario De Por Vida</strong></p>
<p>Creemos que El Camino al desarrollo sostenible es a través de ver la vida completa de una persona y toda la comunidad en la que viven. Jesucristo no separó las necesidades físicas y espirituales de las personas, tampoco se limitó a dirigirse a ellos como individuos, sino como una comunidad más grande. Todas las personas del mundo sienten los efectos de la caída en cuatro relaciones rotas: la relación entre nosotros y Dios, entre nosotros y nuestro prójimo, entre nosotros y el medio ambiente, entre nosotros y nosotros mismos.</p>
<p>Durante los últimos tres años, nuestro equipo ha estado trabajando con D4D (Disciplina para el Desarrollo) y Los Navigators. Nuestro equipo ha aprendido la teología del desarrollo y los resultados de los modelos de dependencia y cómo muchas veces las buenas intenciones conducen a una relación malsana entre los forasteros y las comunidades necesitadas de desarrollo. Hemos crecido mucho como equipo y comenzamos a adoptar un enfoque diferente para las comunidades con las que estamos conectados.</p>
<p><strong>Desarrollo Agrícola</strong></p>
<p>La Granja El Camino, dirigida por YawSaPa, es una granja educativa utilizada para aprender mejores técnicas agrícolas y nuevos cultivos comerciales que pueden ser utilizados por los nacionales en el ministerio para complementar sus ingresos y hacer un ministerio más sostenible como pastores bi-vocacionales y evangelistas.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong>Orar por favor…</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Por sabiduría para cada líder. Queremos escuchar al Señor, especialmente sobre cómo priorizar nuestro tiempo y energía.</li>
<li>Por fondos adicionales. Nos esforzamos por ser buenos administradores con los recursos que Dios nos ha dado. Ahora mismo, especialmente necesitamos financiamiento adicional para becas de formación para voluntarios.</li>
<li>Por la familia Kibbe, ya que consideramos un posible viaje a los EE. UU. 2021-22. Viajar todavía es muy incierto, especialmente cuando estamos considerando un cronograma para regresar a Tailandia al final de un año.</li>
</ul>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Kibbe Family | Serving in Thailand</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Ministry Introduction</strong></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-13628 alignright" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-300x200.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-768x512.jpg 768w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website-600x400.jpg 600w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kibbi-2020-1-website.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />The Way Foundation was founded in 2016 by Ben Kibbe as an extension of the Evangelical Friends ministry in Thailand. Ben and Charity were first sent to Thailand by Damascus Friends Church in 2012 to join an already thriving team started by Ben’s parents, David and Marilyn Kibbe, and their national partners.</p>
<p>After spending almost four years in language and culture studies it was time to formalize the organization and register with the Thai government. Since that time the Lord’s fav</p>
<p>or has been with The Way Foundation both in their relationship with communities and their standing as a Christian organization with the Thai government.</p>
<p><strong>Bible Teaching</strong></p>
<p>Since 2011 David and his Lahu partner, Charlee, have been developing and teaching Bible curriculum to men and women who want to have a deeper understanding of God’s word and who want to teach others. Pastors, Evangelists, and disciple makers have studied four days a month for two years in order to grow in their relationship with the Lord and be better equipped to study, teach, and most importantly apply God’s truth to their daily lives. There are currently 35 students. Charlee is also starting with two new groups in two places, both about four hours from Chiang Rai.</p>
<p>There are currently three groups representing a number of villages, meeting in three different locations in northern Thailand. Approximately 40 students are attending these monthly sessions. Charlee is training five men to help him in the teaching.</p>
<p><strong>Church Planting</strong></p>
<p>The Way Church is located in the city of Chiang Rai and has two main purposes. The first is to reach people (both Thai and Lahu speakers) in the city who don’t have a church. The second is to be both a model church and a missional church. The leaders of the church have a vision for training and supporting teams who will go out into the mountain communities and make disciples and plant churches. Pastor Solomon and the team have planted a second church in the village of Ja Saw Pa and are currently working in two additional communities.</p>
<p><strong>Whole-Life Community Development</strong></p>
<p>We believe that The Way to sustainable development is through looking at the whole life of a person and the whole community in which they live. Jesus did not separate the physical and spiritual needs of people. He also did not just address them as individuals, but also as a larger community. Every person in the world feels the effects of the fall in four broken relationships: the relationship between us and God, us and our neighbors, us and the environment, and us and ourselves.</p>
<p>Over the last three years our team has been working with D4D (Discipling for Development) and the Navigators. Our team has learned the theology of development and the results of dependency models and how oftentimes good intentions lead to an unhealthy relationship between outsiders and the communities in need of development. We have grown a lot as a team and started to take a different approach to the communities that we are connected to.</p>
<p><strong>Farm Development</strong></p>
<p>The Way Farm, directed by YawSaPa, is an educational farm used to learn better farming techniques and new cash crops that can be used by nationals in ministry to supplement their income and do more sustainable ministry as bi-vocational pastors and evangelists.</p>
<hr />
<p><strong><em>Please Pray&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>For wisdom for each leader. We want to hear from the Lord, especially on how we prioritize our time and energy.</li>
<li>For additional funding. We strive to be good stewards with the resources that God has given us. Right now, we especially need additional funding for training scholarships for volunteers.</li>
<li>For the Kibbe family as we look at a potential 2021-22 trip to the US. Travel is still very uncertain, especially when considering a timeline of returning to Thailand at the end of one year.</li>

<p>Diciembre de 2020</p>
<p>Queridas Amigas,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Todo tiene su tiempo, y todo lo que se quiere debajo del cielo tiene su hora&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>tiempo de plantar y tiempo de arrancar lo plantado&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">(Eclesiastés 3: 1-2)</p>
<p>Me encanta leer historia de varios tipos (mundial, Estados Unidos, iglesia, misiones, Amigos, etc.). Una cosa que noto una y otra vez, especialmente cuando leo las Escrituras y la historia de la iglesia, es todo el desarraigo que ocurre y la nueva vida que a menudo brota de esto. Miro la pandemia global que estamos experimentando en este momento y me pregunto seriamente si este es uno de esos momentos en que se está produciendo un desarraigo importante y nos prepara para una nueva temporada de sembrar el Evangelio de Jesucristo.</p>
<hr />
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-19175" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-1-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-1.jpg 665w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Ha sucedido antes. Desde una perspectiva humana, la Gran Depresión de la década de 1930 fue un momento terrible para comenzar nuevos campos misioneros. Pero fue entonces cuando el Señor dirigió a dos de nuestras Regiones / Juntas Anuales en los Estados Unidos para comenzar a enviar misioneros, a lo que resultaron ser dos campos muy fructíferos. La primera fue la Junta Anual de Oregón (ahora conocida como Northwest Yearly Meeting) que envió a la familia Carroll y Doris Tamplin a La Paz, Bolivia, en 1931 para ayudar a expandir un trabajo entre el pueblo Aymara que ya estaba en marcha. Hoy en día hay más de 200 iglesias Amigos en esta Junta Anual boliviana y ahora también se está trabajando en Argentina, Brasil y Chile.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-19176" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-Year-End-Pic-2.jpg 634w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />La segunda región en adoptar un campo y comenzar a enviar misioneros durante la Gran Depresión fue la Junta Anual de Kansas (ahora conocida como la Junta Anual de la Iglesia Evangélica de los Amigos-Mid America). En 1934 ellos enviaron a la familia Arthur y Edna Chilson a lo que ahora se conoce como Burundi en África Central. Hoy en día hay dos Juntas Anuales en este pequeño país con un total de casi 200 iglesias. Amigos de Burundi plantaron la Junta Anual en el Congo y comenzaron a trabajar en el oeste de Tanzania.</p>
<hr />
<p>Avanzando hasta 2020, probablemente destinado a ser uno de los años más memorables de nuestra vida. En mayo de este año, la Junta Directiva de EFM se sintió guiada por el Señor a comprometerse con esta meta:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">De enviar <strong>10</strong> <strong>Nuevas Familias de Misioneros de América del Norte</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">para iniciar <strong>5 Nuevos Campos</strong></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">en los próximos <strong>5 Años.</strong></h3>
<p>El momento de esta decisión me intriga. ¿Por qué haríamos un compromiso como este en medio de una crisis mundial? Estamos locos ¡Probablemente! Pero, ¿podría ser que desde la perspectiva de Dios este es el momento perfecto?</p>
<p>No solo pienso en el desarraigo que está ocurriendo y que probablemente ayudará a los pueblos no alcanzados a ser más receptivos al Evangelio, también estoy pensando en el desarraigo que está ocurriendo en las vidas de personas como tu y como yo, preparándonos a algunos para literalmente. desarraigarnos, mudarnos a diferentes partes del mundo y echar raíces entre personas que aún no conocen ni siguen a Jesús. Cuando él nos llame a hacer eso, ¿estaremos listos para decir &#8220;Sí&#8221;? ¿Seguiremos el ejemplo de las familias que hicieron precisamente eso en 1931 y 1934? Oro para que lo hagamos. Y creo que lo haremos.</p>
<p>Mientras meditas y oras acerca de estas cosas junto conmigo, considera cómo el Señor quiere que participes en nuestra ofrenda de fin de año. Esta oferta apoya a los ministerios de EFM en Asia, África, Europa, el Caribe y América Latina. Para obtener más información sobre estos ministerios y los misioneros que participan en ellos, visite <a href="https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.friendsmission.com%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7Ckimberly%40friendsmission.com%7Ca22448f74355438be04f08d8942f9777%7C9c409840249549f9b40d701b4ec9a85f%7C0%7C0%7C637422279425094923%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=8LGTRqBnrC9aNYnZdtClpvHEG2j%2FQ1Z5%2BmNnAxnpmt4%3D&amp;reserved=0">www.friendsmission.com</a>.</p>
<p>Las iglesias locales, las Regiones, Juntas Anuales y los ministerios como EFM dependen de las generosas donaciones de fin de año para cumplir con sus presupuestos y comenzar bien el nuevo año. Sin embargo, espero que no bases tu decisión de participar en esta oferta únicamente en nuestras necesidades. Que tu corazón sea conmovido por el corazón de Dios para el mundo. Sigue siendo cierto que<em> “tanto amó Dios al mundo, que dio a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna”</em> (Juan 3:16, ESV). También es cierto que Dios todavía nos envía bajo <em>el poder del Espíritu Santo para ser testigos de su gran amor en Jerusalén, Judea, Samaria y los confines de la tierra</em> (Hechos 1: 8).</p>
<p>Estamos agradecidos por ti y tu colaboración en el Evangelio.</p>
<p>Tu consiervo en Cristo,<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Entonces dijo a sus discípulos: <em>“A la verdad la mies es mucha, mas los obreros pocos. Rogad pues, al Señor de la mies, que envíe obreros a su mies.”</em> Mateo 9:37-38</p>
<p>Cuando Jesús dijo, &#8220;la cosecha es mucha&#8221;, ¡no estaba bromeando! David Thomas encontró la siguiente infografía que nos da una forma de ver qué tan grande es la cosecha hoy. También nos muestra dónde se encuentran la mayoría de los grupos de personas que no han escuchado el Evangelio. Tómese un momento para reflexionar sobre lo que le dice esta infografía.</p>

<p>Los grupos de personas fronterizas (FPG) son grupos de personas no alcanzadas con un 0.1% o menos de cristianos de cualquier tipo y sin evidencia de un movimiento evangélico autosuficiente. Según el Proyecto Josué, actualmente hay alrededor de 5,047 grupos de personas de la frontera con una población total de 1,941,674,000. <strong>Una cuarta parte del mundo vive en FPG y estas personas no tienen casi ninguna posibilidad de escuchar acerca de Jesús a menos que los trabajadores vengan del exterior para compartir el Evangelio con ellos.</strong></p>
<p>Jesús continúa diciendo: &#8220;Pídanle al Señor de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies&#8221;. EFM cree que Él, quiere que los Amigos Evangélicos de Norte América <strong><u>envíen al menos diez nuevas familias de misioneros hacia cinco nuevos campos durante los próximos cinco años</u></strong>. ¿Orarías con nosotros para que eso suceda? Si es así, envíanos un mensaje a este <a href="mailto:efmspanish@friendsmission.com">enlace</a> para hacernos saber que estás orando por esta necesidad específica. Y te animamos a que estés atento a las actualizaciones en estas cartas de oración mensual, sobre el progreso que se está logrando en esta meta de cinco años.</p>
<p>¡Gracias por tus oraciones!</p>

<p>In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus said to his disciples, <em>“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”</em></p>
<p>When Jesus said, <em>“the harvest is plentiful,”</em> he wasn’t kidding! David Thomas found the infographic below that gives us one way of seeing how huge the harvest is today. It also shows us where most of the people groups who have not heard the Gospel are located. Please take a moment to ponder what this infographic tells you.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-19063 size-full" src="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Joshua-Project.jpg" alt="" width="977" height="639" srcset="https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Joshua-Project.jpg 977w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Joshua-Project-300x196.jpg 300w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Joshua-Project-768x502.jpg 768w, https://friendsmission.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Joshua-Project-600x392.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px" /></p>
<p>Frontier People Groups (FPGs) are Unreached People Groups with 0.1% or fewer Christians of any kind, and no evidence of a self-sustaining gospel movement. According to the Joshua Project there are currently about <a href="https://joshuaproject.net/frontier/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">5,047 Frontier People Groups</a> with a total population of 1,941,674,000. <strong>One fourth of the world lives in FPGs and these people have almost no chance of hearing about Jesus unless workers come from the outside to share the Gospel with them.</strong></p>
<p>Jesus continues to say, “Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.” EFM believes that he wants Evangelical Friends of North America to send out <strong><u>at least ten new missionary households to launch at least five new fields over the next five years</u></strong>.  Will you pray with us that that will come to pass? If so, please send us a message at this <a href="mailto:efm@friendsmission.com?subject=EFM%20Five-Year%20Goal%20Prayer%20Partner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">link</a> to let us know you are praying about this specific need.  And be on the lookout for updates in this monthly prayer letter about the progress being made on this five-year goal.</p>
<p>Thank you for praying!</p>
