Tankersley Update

Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser January 2025 Dear Prayer Warriors, As we reflect on the year gone by, we are reminded of all the moments we've pondered and treasured in our hearts. God has graciously blessed us, our family, and our ministry in abundance. We are so thankful for you, your friendship, and the privilege of serving in God's kingdom together. This year, Men for Missions sent 38 teams to 7 countries, with 274 participants. One of the highlights of 2024 was leading an international team to Spain. With 8 countries represented, it felt like we were given a small glimpse of heaven on earth. Throughout the year, we made monthly trips to OMS headquarters in Greenwood, IN. It was such a blessing to work closely with the OMS/MFM staff and to spend time with our son, Jonathan and his new bride, Angelique, who were married in August at Glacier National Park and now live in Indianapolis. On our way back to Peoria, we often stopped to visit Doug's mom in Gibson City. We were always welcomed home in Peoria by David, Erin, and their 3 boys.  We are incredibly grateful for your faithful support throughout this year. Many of you give generously, others pray regularly, and so many of you show us love and care in special ways. For all of it, we are deeply thankful. May 2025 be filled with God's HOPE, JOY and PEACE for you and your family! With blessings and gratitude, Doug & Cindy Mexico Trip (before and after pictures) Thank you for praying for Cindy and the team that went to serve the Kids at the Casa in Mexico. One of the main tasks to clean, sort and organize the donation room was an overwhelming challenge. There were 5 women that worked for 5 days and the results were amazing. We had the joy of eating meals, attending church services and playing with the 23 kids that call the Casa their home.  Please pray for MFM regional directors, Al & Sandy Gaines, as they continue to lead ministry teams to Kids at the Casa. https://kidsatthecasa.com/   MFM Staff Daily Devotions This year MFM staff are reading A Day with the Master by Dennis Kinlaw. Here's our prayer from Day 1 using Kinlaw's words: Father, we pray for fresh and new resources that can enable us to claim a measure of effectiveness and fulfillment that we have not yet know in our marriages, families, ministries and our relationship with you and each other. Turn our faces towards the future and mark us with confidence and expections. Amen   1. Pray for USA Cabinet meetings in Waco, Texas on January 9-12. 2. Our monthly visits to headquarters will continue until on-campus housing becomes available. Please pray for our time together January 14-21. Pray for God's perfect timing in our relocation to Greenwood, IN.  3. We're excited to attend Avon Park Camp from February 2-9. We're not speaking or working. We're simply going for a time of refreshment and renewal. You're welcome to join us! https://www.avonparkcamp.com/events 4. Please continue to pray for our support account deficit.
