Twenty-Four and Many More

As most of you know, Ben and I desire to move overseas in a few years (most likely to Papua New Guinea) to work with a people group who has never heard about Jesus. We are not there yet, but here is what is amazing:

TWENTY FOUR PEOPLE have already had a part in getting the gospel to this people group.

Since June, twenty-three people (or couples in many cases and churches in two cases) have given financially to help us as we prepare and train to work among an unreached people group. So that makes twenty-three people/couples/churches plus us who are already excited and passionate about getting the gospel to these people. And we're not even there yet. Wow! Thank you! We are so grateful and amazed for the way God works in people's hearts to care for his people around the world who still need to hear.

And the exciting thing is that I believe there are more than just twenty-four. I know there are many more of you who have not financially given but are praying for us faithfully, and you are such a vital part in reaching this unreached people group as well. We know that God has heard and answered your prayers as he gives us health, wisdom, finances, energy, and perseverance.

As the end of our first semester of training comes to a close, we want to take time to say THANK YOU for your part in responding to God's command to "make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18-20).
