Missions Ministry

With Matthew given leadership over the missions ministry, we are very excited to have helped break our 4 years plus of no new missionary partnerships. We are now investing in a mature couple to continue their work globally, and two young missionary families preparing for their first terms in Indonesia and Mozambique.

Community Impact

Last April, Matthew communicated to a parent who was leading the big anniversary fair fundraiser for one of our local primary schools, but telling her we would not do our annual Easter Funtastic this year and instead we want to support them in having a successful fundraiser. Since it was on a Sunday he only promised items like table, chairs, and advertising to our church family. Some in our church helped in various ways included adding to their bake sale and organizing a few booths. The school made $25,000. Matthew found out later he was not supposed to let certain tables leave the building! We then found out the school was so appreciative of us they passed the word around. We now have another primary school and a Catholic school asking if we can help them! What shall we do?

Men’s Ministry

It often seems the typical men’s discipleship of weekly bible study is a difficult strategy to accomplish here. So we are taking advantage of opportunities where we can. Next week, a number of men said they would join me for BEmen. An annual weekend Men’s conference at a different church in town. They changed it this year to Friday night only! Now I have more men attending with me! God is so great!

In two weeks, #50 men have already signed up for our Men’s BreakFeast to be held in another man’s backyard. Guest speaker is David Glenn from the USA. He is passing thru on his way to Indonesia, India,…From Frustration to Freedom.

Please pray God impacts men’s lives thru these two events. I will seek to provide men next step opportunities after each: Fathering, Husbands, $ Management, Free from habitual sins…
