How do we fit in?    

     In an email Joy and I learned of a Church Planter working among a tribal group in Indonesia. He had a journal of all the time he spent going in and out of the Tribal group he was working in over the period of one year. He would have to leave in order to buy supplies, hand in government paperwork, or even to just get his mail.  In one year that he kept track, he spent 6 months away from learning the language and culture of the people group he worked in. Half of the year, so he could live in the jungle the other half! That is six months of people dying and going into a Christ-less eternity.

      It is our desire to Expand the Reach of the Gospel by meeting this need. We will live where the supplies can be bought, and "shipped" into those in remote locations.Thus saving the church planter the time they NEED to learn the language, translate the scripture, and present the Gospel to a people who have never heard it before. In Fact we will be working with 5 people groups by buying the supplies for the 13 families teaching them the gospel. As an added bonus by filling this position we will save these families a combined minimum of $7800 a month. It is a vital role that has to potential to make more disciples of Christ in less time!

    By buying the supplies from Indonesian Nationals we will also have the opportunity to be a light for Christ. As we build a relationship with them they will want to know why we have come to their country, then we can share what Christ has done for them. We are thrilled that because of what Christ has done, we can in turn give others the opportunity of eternity with Him aswell.

    Currently we are in the U.S. gaining the Partners that God will use through us to reach these people. There are 3 essential partners we need.

1. Prayer. Without God we can do nothing. We need folks willing to uphold us before the Lord, Not only in our ministry but also in our daily walk and relationships. This is also away we want to be involved in your lives! We encourage and implore you to let us know what’s going on in your lives so we can pray for you as well. Check out our up to date Prayer Requests here.
2. Financial. Our Financial partners are also necessary because, as members of a Faith based mission we receive no salary or “benefits”. Our Finances come from friends and family and Churches who desire to be a part of this ministry of expanding the Gospel to every tribe, tongue, and nation. Our partners give anywhere from $10-300+ per month. All those who give also will be able to receive a tax-deductible receipt for their donation. Click here to see different ways to Give.
3. Encourager’s. These folks do just that! Those willing to send a letter, birthday cards, and mail now and then. Those even willing to meet specific needs, like setting up meetings to share our ministry, or finding places for us to stay while we are out sharing this ministry, or anything that you feel you would like to do. This can look any way, as it is unique to every individual.
