Start of the Fall

Meetings with Ministry Partners 

 Shalom!  Peace be with you.  The hot summer is leaving and the fall is upon us.  We finally made it back to Orlando after a long summer away.  Last month we were encouraged and challenged while visiting some of our ministry partners and churches in the D.C. area and Georgia.  We got to share about the ministry and give testimonies at several worship services.  We met a few new ministry partners and we were so blessed by everyone we got to spend time with.   It was a meaningful and powerful time with the people God prepared for us to meet.  We are thankful that we could experience God’s preparation and provision in this way.  We’ve started our new semester of ministry in Orlando and we have many opportunities on the schedule.  Please pray that we trust in the Lord and follow Him as we serve.  Thank you for your prayers, love, and financial support.  Thank you.

Fall New Missionary Training

90 new missionaries attended our fall new missionary training.  Some of them have served short term overseas and are now joining us long term.  Some others had different careers and are leaving them to become full time missionaries.  With this new class we had a deaf missionary couple take the training with an interpreter.  When they finish raising up their ministry partners they are going to serve in the campus ministry connecting with deaf students.  Seeing the training given by sign language we were challenged and excited by the thought of more deaf students coming to Christ through them.  

At this training we also had a missionary who was previously homeless join us.  He and his son were living on the street until a church began to meet their needs.  Cru’s City ministry was partnering with that church and through them, this man met Jesus, and was impressed by God’s love and calling that he decided to surrender his life to God to serve others who are living like he was without knowing Christ’s love.  We could see Jesus’ love through him.  Please pray for these new missionaries. Pray that God will lead them and that many lost people will meet Jesus personally to become children of God who share the Gospel.
