Results of Workers in the Harvest

Through Park Outreach, we met Natasha who had heard of Jesus but never read the Bible. Pray for her as she has been attending bible study and asks great questions.
Getting to have teams of all ages engages the work at different levels. I was thankful for the courage and creativity our 10-year-old teammates brought to our team.
Getting to rub shoulders with people from different experiences continues to teach me so much. I enjoyed getting to hear stories of Q and her family’s testimony as she grew up in Indonesia.
Coffee table outreach allowed us to connect with people from Portugal, Algeria, Lybia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt…and that was just one of the afternoons!
Very thankful for a team from my sending church and how they served the work and me!
I continue to love time with my neighbors. Ani and I are making Americna Mac & Cheese for her sister’s birthday party.

Because of the investment of time, energy, money, and vacation days, many more people got to hear more about who God says He is, what He has done for them, and have further opportunities for conversation. A Friday night bible study was able to get started where N is soaking in every story, and A (currently professed agnostic) is getting to wrestle with his questions. Because of the teams that were here, we got to do coffee table outreach for four weeks in a row which provided an opportunity for other local workers to come and join us and develop our presence among the community in a very tangible way. Although I think I could sleep for a week, I wouldn’t have changed it! There is more and more fruit of labor being seen as the days unfold. Thank you teams for coming, and thank you all for praying!

Ella is setting out some literature on our coffee table in Arabic, Farsi, Russian, Dari, Hindi, and English just in case someone would like to take some reading material with them. This past month, we had more people take literature than ever before. Ella, a recent nursing graduate, has decided to step into our 3-month internship, which provides intentional objectives for her personal walk with Jesus, introduction to Muslim ministries, and experience being a cross-culture worker. She will split her time between Stockholm, Sweden and Cologne, Germany to see if being sent overseas may be part of her story. Pray for her these months and for us as we continue to learn how to see people further equipped to expand God’s Kingdom wherever He sends them.

An update on me….

I have entered into another term of my doctorate studies. This next month, the prayer is that I will get to start interviewing refugees. I am nervous and excited for this opportunity to learn and grow and hopefully find ways to help equip us to better disciple and raise up leaders of different cultures.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE FINANCES! The generosity of one-time gifts these past two years is coming to an end. In order for me to get a full-pay check and to stay on the field, I will need to find 12 new supporters averaging $100 a month or a $14,400 yearly gift! Anything is possible. I have no doubt that God can provide and I am excited to get to be about His business. Please join me in praying for this need and if you or someone you know wants to help answer, click here.

Let me know how your fall has kicked off!
