Dear
partners in ministry,
We
hope you are doing well and enjoying the beginning of Autumn. Chicago
has been warmer than usual and the Fall colors are beginning to
appear. We remember you with thanksgiving for your faithfulness to
us and our ministry.
We
also praise God for His faithfulness while we have served Him
overseas and in the US. It's hard to believe that it has been 30
years since we were appointed with WorldVenture (then CBFMS) in July,
1985!
After
much prayer and consultation with our Americas Director, we will
continue in ministry with WorldVenture in the role of Global
Resource Specialist
starting November 1. This will no longer be a salaried position; your
financial support will be designated exclusively to a ministry
account.
Even
though we have been invited to facilitate workshops in various
countries and help with missionary care, we’ve been limited because
of lack of ministry funds due to under-support. As Global Resource
Specialists, the support that comes in will enable us to serve the
people God has called us to serve. Our ministry base will continue to
be Chicago for the present and near future and we will travel from
here.
With
support funds we would like to:
- Make regular trips to Argentina to help with ministries we’ve been involved with and to encourage the believers.
- Continue to facilitate the Sharpening Your Interpersonal Skills workshops overseas in English and Spanish for overseas workers and churches.
- Equip and care for overseas workers in the US and those going out from Latin America, including helping to start a member care center in Latin America.
In
May, it was a blessing to be at WorldVenture headquarters in Colorado
with people in similar circumstances, who minister in the
US and/or travel overseas for ministry. While there we discussed
options for future ministry.
Our
family is doing well. In June Dick's mother Lois moved to an assisted
living facility a few blocks away from us. It is good to be able to
accompany her and help with her care. Our daughters, their families
and our son also continue to live in Chicago. We love being part of
their lives and playing with our three grandsons.
We
are thankful that you are on this journey with us!
Please
pray with us:
- That we would have enough income for our current living expenses, since we will no longer be drawing any salary from WorldVenture.
- That we would stay faithful to the calling to ministry that God has given us, which hasn’t changed.
