Evangelism. Discipleship. Prayer.
2025 just began and already we are seeing fruit across several of our outreaches.
First, the Lord has opened a door for Minding the Gap to enter a fifth school this Fall. Obstacles remain to see this opportunity manifest completely, but the details of the opening indicate God is doing something special. In our current schools, we saw another group of students receive salvation, and even teachers and staff have joined us for the Bible club experience and are open to receiving prayer! Please pray with us for God to continue this work.
Second, our focus on discipleship specifically geared towards sexual and relational health is bearing fruit. Grace Point Baptist Church agreed to oversee and promote the Pure Desire groups we have been leading as an official church ministry. The two men who completed the discipleship group last year are stepping into an assistant leadership role with Tim as 19 men from several ministries, churches, and communities begin their journey to pursue the freedom available in Jesus. Rebecca is also leading a women’s group that includes several of the wives of these men. We are very excited about this but also recognize the spiritual warfare at play. Please pray for God’s protection over everyone involved.
Our focus on prayer as the foundation of these two outreaches continues, and we work hard to keep our commitments to individual and corporate gatherings. It’s not just a tactic; it’s the key.
On the family level, we are also experiencing a rewarding time after a season of difficulty. Rebecca saw a blood specialist who was finally able to shed some light on her chronic illness. We were given hope to see changes in her day-to-day well being soon. Tim is being blessed with a local ordination as pastor that will enable greater effectiveness in our missions work. He will also begin an online program this summer to receive more ministry training and finish a bachelor's degree that was put on pause some years ago.
Our deep desire is that you will continue to celebrate these victories as your own. We are so grateful for the parts you play in seeing God’s kingdom advance. We could not do this without a team.
