Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser August 2024 Dear Prayer Warriors, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 You know you've been gone a lot when Willie Nelson's song, On the Road Again, is constantly stuck in your head. We haven't tallied up the countries, states or miles, but we've been gone from home over a 100 days this year. Last year Doug was on 37 different planes. This year we have been on less planes and on the road much more, including monthly trips to MFM Headquarters in Greenwood. That's three months out of eight and our fall schedule doesn't show any signs of slowing down. Please hear our heart and know that we're not complaining. After 18 years in full-time ministry, we continue to love what we have been called to do. We just wanted to share why you haven't received a more timely update.  So whether we're leading a team to another country, spending a week each month at headquarters or enjoying time away as a family, we're grateful for your prayers. They are the sustenance to our life and ministry.  Thank you for your FAITHFUL, generous support especially when you don't hear from us. You are such a blessing to us!
