Tankersley Update

Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser October 2018 Dear Prayer Warriors, "Together We Celebrate Your Love" was the theme for the first annual Satura Colombia celebration.    It was such an honor and privilege to attend the Satura National Convention in Sincelejo, Colombia to celebrate all that God is doing in Colombia through the ministries of One Mission Society.   Juan Guillermo Cardona, Director of Satura Colombia, was rejoicing as 320+ participants and ministry partners from around the world kicked off the celebration with a service on Friday night to praise and worship our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Saturday was a day of workshops.  On behalf of Men for Missions, we provided 3 workshops that included the history of MFM and challenging laymen to Do, Go, and Give in total obedience to Jesus Christ.  Saturday night's service provided a special time of testimony and many shared how the various ministries of Satura Colombia have impacted their lives.  Sunday concluded with another special service and sharing of the Lord's Supper.    Men for Missions is so thankful for the opportunities that we have had to serve alongside Satura since 2012 with short-term evangelism teams.  Since 2012, Men For Missions has sent 30 evangelism teams with 240 short-term team members resulting in over 12,163 decisions for Jesus Christ, and this was just one small piece of the many things to celebrate.    During the celebration service, participants of the conference were given an opportunity to ask questions related to the content of Saturday's workshops.  One question was, "How do we get Men For Missions in Colombia?"   The truth is that Men for Missions in happening throughout the country as hundreds of our Colombian lay brothers and sisters are being trained to prayer walk, evangelize, disciple, and plant churches as well as teaching others to do the same.  Their passion for the lost and their zeal to DO, GO and GIVE whatever God asks is the conduit for the next world missionary movement.  They are not waiting for the next MFM team to arrive from the USA or Canada.  They are preparing their own teams to cross streets and borders.  Many groups have formed that are now out emulating the evangelism model that they discovered after having an MFM evangelism team at their church. These groups are out evangelizing door-to-door and also training other churches in other communities how to do the same.   Psalm 21:8 says, "You have not handed me over to the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.".  Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support to us and the expansion of MFM throughout Latin America.   Blessings, Doug & Cindy Please pray for Doug as he visits the Mexico field on October 21 - 24 to explore opportunities and determine the needs for future MFM short-term mission teams. November 7 - 10, we will be attending the MFM Global Cabinet meetings in Orlando, Florida.  Please pray as the MFM leaders from around the world come together to thank God and seek His direction for the future.  We're excited to welcome Jonathan Tobón to the USA as we share the report on Colombia. We are returning to Cuba on November 13 - 20 with our first MFM evangelism team.  The 10 member team represents 4 states and 2 countries.    • PLEASE PRAY for every aspect of this team.  • Pray that we will obtain our religious visas.  • Pray for Allen as he prepares all the logistics. • Pray for hearts to be softened and open to receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  What a wonderful opportunity we had to host one of our Colombian brothers that has served for 2 years as a translator for our Medellín evangelism teams.  David Zuluaga spent a week with us learning all about the Midwest culture.  He experienced many aspects of Fall and the need to watch the weather forecast.  He also spent a day touring One Mission Society and discovered that the missionaries that started his church in Colombia were from OMS.  He will return to Colombia with a new perspective of how to better serve team members crossing their borders for the first time.  1.  Praising the Lord for a wonderful mission conference at Fame Evangelical church last month. 2.  Continue to pray as we seek to expand MFM throughout Latin America. 3.
