Back To Colombia

Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser August 2018   Dear Prayer Warriors, We have been pondering the words of William Carey for the past several months as we continue to move forth in our ministries while living stateside.  It seems so easy to get sidetracked by things that don't really matter or have no eternal value.  It's a constant struggle to keep our eyes fixed with an eternal perspective.  However, in the midst of our struggles, we can see that God is always faithful to use us right where we are! It's proof that it's not about us but all about God! We are so humbled and thankful to be a part of what God is doing in the hearts of our brothers and sisters in Latin America.  It's a privilege and honor to serve alongside these folks. May you be encouraged that through your prayer and financial support and God's amazing faithfulness, his people are succeeding at things that really matter. Blessings, Doug & Cindy Men For Missions - Cuba   Thank you for praying for our trip in June to meet with the Men For Missions director and his team in Cuba.  They are moving forward in growing MFM Cuba.  Please pray for Allen as he continues to build his MFM leadership team.  Pray for us as we seek to support what God is calling them to do.  We are making preparations to take a team in November.  Please pray for the team members and the work to be done.  Saturate the Nations for Christ   Thank you for praying for our time at the OMS conference.  What an encouragement it was to hear Juan Guillermo Cardona, Director of Satura Colombia, share of the expansion of Satura into other nations.  We also heard from another Colombian missionary, Oscar Jimenez, who serves as a pastor in London and the privilege we have of being part of his support team.  (Click Oscar's photo below to read more about his ministry in London and to join his support team) We led two workshops on exploring short-term missions.  One participant took the challenge and now has her passport and her church is planning their first missions conference in March 2019.  One of the greatest moments of encouragement was to see the Men For Missions national cabinet meet together to rejoice in all that God has done this past year as well as pray and seek God's direction as MFM moves into 2019. We look forward to being a part of the MFM international cabinet meetings in November.  We left the conference so excited to be a part of what OMS, MFM and Satura are doing around the world.  Returning to Colombia   We have been extended an invitation to attend and lead Men For Mission workshops at the first Satura Colombia convention. Please pray for us as we prepare for the convention. Kent Eller will be joining us, and will be traveling August 28 - September 6.  We look forward to meeting with Jonathan Tobón - Facilitator and leader of MFM-Colombia as we discuss plans for 2019.  We also have plans to meet with the translators that support our evangelism teams in the cities of Medellín and Sincelejo.   Family Time in the North Woods   What a special few days we had in the beauty of the north woods to share as a family.  It's times like this that we're able to take time to reflect on the idea that it's not always about what we do, but more about who we have raised.  It's our prayer that there will be generations of Tankersleys that love God with all their heart, soul and mind, and serve Jesus in all that they do.  Thank you for praying for our family.  1. Praise for our safe travels to Cuba in June and for for the opportunity of meeting with MFM-Cuba. 2. Please pray for the Satura Convention which will be August 31-September 2, and our travels to Colombia. 3. Pray that we will receive our religious visas for the team in November to Cuba.  Applications for the Visas will be made this month. 4. Praise the Lord for the evangelism teams that continue to go and share the Gospel to those that have not heard.  So far this year, MFM has sent 61 teams to 17 countries with 499 team members.  5.  Praise the Lord for special times with family. 6. Pray for wisdom as we expand into additional Latin American countries with MFM. Vision:  Our goal is the Lordship of Jesus Christ in each person's life, at home and around the world.

Tankersley Ministry Update

Tankersley Praise & Prayer Update View this email in your browser Cuban Pastors Memorial On May 18, 2018, more than 110 Cubans were killed in an airplane crash. Sadly, 20 on board this Air Cubana flight were Cuban pastors and leaders with whom One Mission Society has partnered with over the past two decades. They all passed away from the crash. Ten children, ranging from ages 7 to 15 years old, along with several adult children, are now without parents, and a whole denomination of churches is without leaders. Working closely with trusted Cuban leaders, OMS has developed a plan to come alongside these devastated families, just-orphaned children, and the local churches who have lost their pastors and leaders. Will you join us in extending a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in Cuba by providing financial support for the following? Funeral costs Children and family member immediate needs Rebuilding and training new leadership teams Your act of love will make a difference in the lives of those who are desperately hurting because of this tragedy in Cuba. Please click on the pictures above to make a donation. Pray for God to shower his abundant mercy, peace and love on these        children and churches.  Men For Missions Staff Meetings We enjoyed a couple of days at beautiful Camp Allendale with our USA MFM staff.  We spent several sessions focusing on the vision and mission of MFM.  We are so blessed to be a part of this ministry and walk this journey with so many amazing people. We were reminded daily that leaders touch a heart before they ask for a hand.  Please pray for us as we move forward in our new role as MFM directors of Latin America.  Trip to Cuba - June 4 - 7 You may recall that last September our trip to Cuba was postponed due to Hurricane Irma. It's been rescheduled and we are looking forward to meeting with Allen, MFM Cuba director, and some leaders that want to hear more about Men For Missions - Cuba.  Pray that the Holy Spirit will open our eyes to the greatest needs in Cuba and give us His vision for this great country.  Registration is now open and discounted before May 30. We welcome you to join us for the national conference of One Mission Society.  This is a great place to hear what God is doing around the world.  There will be many opportunities at the conference for you to reunite with Men For Missions and those that have been on short term trips, but we'd like to personally invite you to the MFM Reunion Dinner on Friday night at 5:30.  Hope to see you all there!  We're so thankful for every opportunity that we've been given to reconnect with our family.  The most recent celebration was Jude turning one year old.  Thank you for praying for our family!!!  1.  Praising the Lord for His protection as we continue to travel.  12,000+ car miles since November.  2.  Praising the Lord for a great women's conference in Iowa.
