Update 09/18/13



Dear Prayer Warriors,

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” 
Philippians 4:19

Praise ~ Insurance Premium
In July, we asked for prayer regarding our annual health insurance premium.  We really felt led to trust God with this need and not rely on letters and calls.  God is so faithful and to date has brought in 65% of our bill.  We are so thankful to you who stand in prayer for us and for those obedient hearts that God touched on our behalf.

Pray and Praise ~ Additional Ministry
Cindy has worked with children for 23 years.  Since our stateside assignment, she has only had small roles in the lives of children such as Konstruction Kids, VBS and camps.  It’s been a real void in her life during the past 3 years.  Recently, she was asked by our sending church to serve as a consultant to their Children’s Ministries program.  While she didn’t feel a direct calling from God, it has sparked a flame within her.  Most of her free time will now be spent in praying and seeking ways to enhance their children’s ministry program.  Please pray, as she desires to be an encouragement to the ones that faithfully serve the children each week. 

Praise ~ Remote Access
Now that we can be directly connected to a computer located at OMS headquarters, we have been able to begin work on some of the Follow-up Prayer Brochures.  Thank you for your prayers in helping us to get this resolved.

Pray ~ Montana
Please pray for Doug as prepares to share 5 different times during a Missions Conference that will be held on Oct. 13-14 at the Conrad Mission Church in Montana.  On his return, he hopes stop and visit his sister Kathy and her family living near Denver, Co.

Pray ~ Colombia
The project Saturation Antioquia evangelism team to Colombia scheduled for Oct. 26 - Nov. 2 is continuing to form.  If you feel the Lord nudging you to join this team, please let us know very soon.  http://tinyurl.com/MFM-Antioquia

Praise ~ Supporters
For years, our supporters have overwhelmed us with their love and support.  It’s wonderful when we have opportunities to be a blessing to them.   We have been humbled and honored this month to be able to have some quality time with several of our supporters.  A variety of opportunities have allowed us the privilege to share a meal together, pray together, stand in prayer for their needs, enjoy sweet fellowship and even be challenged.  WE thank God for all of our supporters!

Praise ~ One Mission Society
One Weekend is a One Mission Society event that helps people explore how they fit into missions.  The next one is scheduled for November 1 and due to the amount of interest they had to close enrollment and start a waiting list. We are rejoicing and praise the Lord for hearing our prayers to send forth more laborers for the harvest.  What exciting times we live in!

Pray ~ Donations
It’s been brought to our attention that several of our supporters are reliant on the receipt from One Mission Society each month to aid them in sending in their monthly pledge.  If you are a regular supporter and have missed a month, OMS does NOT send you another reminder/envelope.  If you feel that you may be in this situation, please let us know and we can help you with restarting your giving.

Here are some options in giving:

Blessings to you,
Doug and Cindy
