It has been a time since we last posted, but this does not reflect how much we have thought or prayed for you.
Our whole family decided it was time to share that pesky cold flu that’s going around. Jennifer was hit the worst and is still trying to bounce back.
Work has been very busy as we are continue to redevelop the whole preparation process for all our candidates and appointees. We would covet your prayers for March 10-14 when we launch our first pilot-orientation. This means we have a small group of people we are taking through the new format. We are eager to see how it will equip our appointees in a more effective way. Please pray for this time that Christ will be the center and receive the Glory.
Coaching is going well as I have the privilege to engage with those who are in the process of getting to the field. This is proving to be an incredibly helpful tool in strengthening, preparing and launching our new missionaries. Please continue to pray that the coaching will be God centered and that He might raise others to serve in this capacity.
We have another update for you financially.
While we ended the year needing to raise $12,000 to make it through 2010, we are sadly in a different situation. Due to the continued economic issues, we have had a number of individuals who have had to necessarily stop giving and some churches that have had to reduce their giving. This has left us with the situation to have to raise $21,000 in order to make it through 2010.
Of that $21,000 we have already received $3,000 ad praise the Lord for it.
Please continue praying for this with us that the Lord will provide for our needs.
May God bless you and your family today.
All our love, Tim, Jennifer, Connor, Katya and Marika
