Tankersley Update

Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser Happy New Year 2017 for The Tankersleys It's so easy to start out 2017 with our hearts full of gratitude when we were surrounded by our kids in Quito, Ecuador.  We are very thankful for those that responded and provided funds to help bring us together. It wouldn't have happened without you. THANK YOU! It was a beautiful time for us to reflect together, on the Lord's goodness and faithfulness that He provided to our family during our first term of service (2006-2010). We have so many precious memories of people, places, and experiences. It was also good to reminisce and share this part of our lives with Erin.  Please remember to pray for our family as we all struggle with the distance between us.  May God bless you and your family this year as you love and serve Him each day!  Blessings, Doug & Cindy "ON CHRIST THE SOLID ROCK I STAND"   We are praising the Lord for his mighty hand of protection over us as we experienced our first epicenter of a 5.8 earthquake on the coast of Ecuador.  We had finished up with clearing out household goods from the OMS guesthouse and had a few days before the kids were scheduled to arrive on Christmas Eve. We welcomed the opportunity to help some fellow missionaries do some repairs from the major earthquake in April.  While we were there, another major earthquake hit at 2:11 in the morning. *This hotel was a block from the apartment where we were staying. Please continue to pray for the rebuilding efforts in Ecuador.  The needs are great! A special thank you to those that are always willing to send or carry things into the country for us.  We realize that our constant petitions are not always convenient, but when you can be the conduit for meeting the needs of others, we are so grateful!  Once again, thank you to Gibson City Bible Church for collecting reading glasses and thank you to Upper Room Bible Church for carrying them into the country.  We're so thankful for the leadership that we have through Bob & Esther Fetherlin in their positions as President and First Lady of One Mission Society.  It was a blessing of encouragement to connect with them and a few of the OMS board members as they visited the ministries in Colombia. Please pray for these 4 pastors and their churches as we join together to share the Gospel of Jesus in their communities through door-to-door evangelism with a MFM Team from the USA.
