Tankersley Update

Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser October 2017 Ecclesiastes 3:1 "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:" Every missionaries' dream should be to work themselves out of ministry to the point that nationals can continue the work.  This is has become a reality for us.  Men for Missions is excited to announce, Jonathan Tobón, as the Facilitator for Men for Missions Colombia. Our strategic alliance with Satura Colombia will continue as MFM Colombia hosts 13 evangelism teams next year and prepares to cross their own borders as Satura expands throughout Latin America.  Kent Eller, Vice International Executive Director of Men For Missions spent several days with us planning and preparing for our transition into our new role as Latin America Regional Directors. We will continue to serve alongside Satura/MFM Colombia from the USA, helping to coordinate the teams for 2018 while also working to raise additional funds for our new role. We will also begin focusing on taking Colombia's MFM Evangelism model into other Latin American countries where Satura is expanding and training the local church for discipleship and church multiplication.  As we look ahead, we anticipate extended trips to Colombia and other Latin American countries.  Blessings to you, Doug & Cindy   We led our last English Fiesta with the Medellín translators.  We have developed such a special relationship with them as some have served with MFM teams since 2012. What a joy it was to have Kent serve the translators alongside us.   Our trip to Cuba was postponed due to Hurricane Irma. Thank you for praying as we struggled with the decision to go or not to go.  Our September team was cancelled due to lack of participants.  Please pray that God will touch hearts to come and serve on evangelism teams in 2018.  There are 13 teams planned and the local churches are prepared and excited to receive teams. These cancellations opened up a block of time for us to focus on Home Ministry Assignment preparations. The Lord has provided a house and car. Please note our new address below. Our phone number will stay the same as it's been for 7 years.  This is Juan Carlos and Angie. They have been waiting for a team since February.  We had to change the location of the February team due to team size. Then they were anticipating the September team which was cancelled, and they are now eagerly awaiting the October team. It's our prayer that God will greatly bless them for their patience.  Juan Carlos is a pastor and a Satura facilitator in North Antioquia. We will be serving in his region next week with the evangelism team.  Please pray specifically that we will have opportunities to share with many men in this region. The men in this area believe that church is only for women. The team coming has 10 members and 7 of them are men.  God's plan and timing are always perfect.  1. Praising the Lord for our MFM meetings with Satura Colombia. Many meetings and much fruit. 2. Pray for the evangelism team that arrives on Saturday, October 21. We will be evangelizing on Monday - Thursday. 3. Praising the Lord for many provisions as we prepare for our Home Ministry Assignment. We depart on November 7. 4. Pray for our time with Faith Evangelical Church in Radcliffe, Iowa. We will be sharing during their mission conference on November 17 - 19.
