2009 Summer Construction Teams Opportunity
This summer we have a very exciting opportunity to help a fledgling church plant begin construction on phase 1 of their building project.
We are praying for God to raise up four construction teams to help build this church building in the Ukraine. Follow this link to view and/or download the opportunity brochure.
If you or your church is interested in going, or if you have any questions, please e-mail David.
God’s provision – ministry van update
God provided the van we need! Last summer many people and churches responded to our special project to purchase a ministry van. We had the van picked out and even used it for the English Camp team from Oregon last July. However, in August, when we were to seal the deal and purchase the van it didn’t work out. We were disappointed but trusting that God had just the right plan.
So we waited. Then, at just the right time, God provided another van that perfectly suited our needs. The amazing thing is that although the van we finally purchased was the same price in Euros (because of the decline of the Euro in value from July to October) we actually paid $1,600 US dollars less than we would have paid in the summer! What a difference the exchange rate can make.
The day after we took possession of the van in November we needed it! We drove the van hundreds of miles the first week; helping out with a regional leadership conference our mission had in our area.
We will be using the van in the future for a variety of ministry purposes. The van will also be used by short-term and mid-term missionaries serving with our mission in the area who might not otherwise be able to afford to buy a vehicle or a van.
Thank you for your prayers and gifts for this project!
Quick Prayer Requests
- David is in the US right now to attend the National Short-Term Missions Conference with a short-term team leader from a supporting church. Please PRAY that God would use this conference to help us more effectively coordinate short-term ministries.
- Catherine and the girls returned to Germany last week and they are missing David and having a hard time getting readjusted to Germany. Please PRAY and ask God to allow Catherine to sleep through the night. She is leading worship at our church on Sunday and needs the rest to be in top form.
- David is working on an exciting short-term team opportunity for this summer (helping a church plant in Eastern Europe to build a new building). Please PRAY for the details to come together and for God to prepare the hearts of people to go and to give to this project.
- Your prayers sustain us. Thank You!
