… Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him. (Luke 5:10-11)
How have you been? It already feels like mid summer in Orlando being 90 degree outside. The sweat flows quickly these days. How’s the weather there? We pray that your strength in the hot summer season.
38 New and 69 Longterm Overseas Missionaries
This May, 38 people (above) were commissioned through our Mid Career New Staff Training. These people are convinced of God’s call for their lives. We had a mother take the training while feeding and caring for the newborn baby in her arms. Also, before the training, one candidate was going to delay taking his missionary vows because his mother was seriously ill. Days before the training his mother and family encouraged him to take the training without delay because of God’s calling on his life. He was commissioned as a missionary.
We are so impressed by their sacrifice and passion. The majority of this group are leaving established careers. They have family and children and yet they have surrendered everything to God to live in obedience and faith as missionaries. Now they are beginning to raise support. Please pray that God prepares faithful ministry partners for them and that he provides above and beyond what they ask or need.
We will be in Colorado this summer serving the Long Term Overseas Missionary Training of Cru. We pray that the lost all over the world will come to Jesus Christ through the missionaries we are about to train. Please pray for them with us. 69 long term overseas missionaries, 40 trainers, and 56 of their kids (who will also be trained) will attend this training. Please pray that God provides their every need and that they are all well prepared to take care of God’s ministry walking in the power of the holy spirit.
We are always encouraged and impressed by your faithfulness. We are thankful for your love and prayerful support. Thank you so much. We pray that God continues to bless you and your family.
