January 2013 - Happy New Year
Dear Prayer Warriors,
“Let us not give up meeting
together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one
another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
(Heb. 10:25)
Rejoicing with Men For Mission Year End Stats
114 teams
18 countries
762 people
We work with an incredible homeland staff that makes Life Changing
Journeys possible for those that have been led to serve overseas on a
short-term mission trip.
Please pray for missionaries serving stateside.
First Presbyterian Church – January 6
For the 3rd year in a row, we were asked to share a ministry
update with the First Presbyterian Church in Gibson City. We are so
thankful for their encouragement and support to our ministries. Our
relationship continues to grow as we continually seek ways to serve
together.
Pray that God will expand their mission vision.
Trip to Haiti – Leaving February 1
Doug and a long-time friend, Rod, have been preparing to join a team
from North Dakota for a week in Haiti to help build a home for our
Haitian brothers & sisters. MFM led 57 work teams to Haiti last
year. Please pray for the field missionaries as they continually receive teams.
Equip Conference/Peoria, IL – February 22, 23
We are preparing for our presentations at the Equip conference this
year. We received permission to provide 2 seminars on “Preparing for a
Short-Term Mission Trip”. We highly recommend this conference for any
ministry leader. There will be something for everyone.
Church & Pastor Visits
Our calendar is quickly being filled with several church visits as well
as quality time with some of the pastors and leaders. We strive to be
an encouragement to them by praying with them and for them, and for the
congregations that they lead.
Please pray that more connections can take place.
Small Group Ministry – Kick off in February
Discipleship is always on the front burner of our lives. We desire that
people would learn more about God and His truths and love for them, and
apply it to their lives. We have been asked to prepare leaders for a
small group ministry. We are very excited about that and ask that you pray for us as we lead them.
Needs in Colombia – April, July, November 2013
We are in need of short-term mission teams to evangelize in Medellin,
Colombia. If God is touching your hearts to help supply this need,
please let us know.
Blessings to You!
Doug & Cindy
