Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser July 2022 Dear Prayer Warriors, For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations. Isaiah 61:11 Thank you for all you do to support us and the growing ministries of One Mission Society & Men For Missions.  We're so excited to see new life spring forth in our ministries as countries open up from a 2 year shutdown and we continue to make our way out of this Covid collaspe. The needs are plentiful and we have several short-term mission opportunities. Please pray that God will send forth laborers and if that's you, we'd love for you to join us.  We are grateful for your faithful giving and sustaining prayers.  Blessings, Doug & Cindy Dominican Republic - Round #2 One of the highlights of our last trip to the DR was to enjoy a lunch with Haitian pastors and their wives. Our missionary host is Jaime, who is a Nicaraguan serving Haitian immigrants in the DR. We spent several days meeting with pastors and looking for ways that we can come alongside them in what God is calling them to do. MFM Staff Work Team - Lake Charles, LA These are our peeps! We're missing a few but what a joy it is to serve together during our annual staff meetings.  We partnered with Fuller Disaster Rebuilders and worked on three homes that needed repair from back to back hurricanes Delta and Rita. There's still a lot of work to be done. If you'd like to serve on a stateside team, there are many options for you.  Gibson City Bible Church VBS Cindy jumped at the offer to assist with Vacation Bible School to work directly with a group of Latino children and helpers. There were five Spanish speaking countries represented within this group. We're thankful how God can bring the nations to us in surprisingly unique ways. Cindy was abundantly blessed by the endless hospitality of her dear friends during the week-long stay in Gibson City.  Please pray for Jeremy, a 4th grader, who gave his heart to Jesus. What he did that day will change the world around him.  MFM-USA Cabinet Meetings (AKA - Family Reunion) We had wonderful meetings at OMS headquarters. It started with a beautiful service to install our new OMS president, Jeff Edwards. Please pray for him and his wife, Laura as they officially began July 1. Cindy prepared and led devotion and prayer time with the ladies while Doug and the men worked through their agenda of reports. What a sweet time of fellowship we always have together and we were honored to have MFM board representatives from Canada and Scotland.  We're grateful to the men and women who give of their time and resources to serve on the MFM-USA Cabinet.  Jonathan's Italy Trip Jonathan's was completely in awe at the overwhelming support he received for his mission trip to Italy. God orchestrated many opportunities for him to share his testimony, speak in Spanish and use his handyman skills. Thank you to each one that responded through your giving and prayer support. Please pray for direction as he desires to serve overseas in a Spanish speaking country.  1.  Pray as we prepare for upcoming travel to Wisconsin (vacation), Spain, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Albania & Charleston SC.  2.  Cindy is leading a team to Spain to serve in the kitchen and around the grounds at an OMS camp. There's still room on the team if you would like to join her August 20 - September 3. You can serve for 1 week, 10 days or 2 weeks.  3.  Pray for our MFM Cuban leaders and their families as they make some personal and ministry transitions.  4. Pray for the families of MFM. There are many situations in which we need God to do what only He can do.  5. Pray for MFM leadership as we work to reach the next generation. 6. Please pray that we can provide team members for the many short-term team opportunities (listed below).   Vision:  Our goal is the Lordship of Jesus Christ in each person's life, at home and around the world.
