In addition to setting church overseas up for success in the future, our focus has started shift more and more firmly towards establishing a ministry of what you will be doing after leaving overseas international location. To get from here to there, however, we need your help during this season of transition.

...

First and foremost (and I don’t just say this as a matter of Christian missionary procedure): we desperately need your prayer support! Could you please be praying with us for the church here in overseas international location as well as the future ministry? Also, could you pray for our family? We’re still trying to tasks you are trying to accomplish prior to leaving the field and arrange for moving many of our belongings to state—and we really sense that these things could use all the prayer support they can get! We also need prayer for “good good-byes” with location friends, and we need prayer for lots of grace in dealing with the process of re-entry (which, we’ve been told, can be a very challenging experience). In short: we need lots of prayer!

...

Finally, we need financial help. Believe me, I know how big and scary this number might seem—but we are praying and hoping that God may be able to help us raise $dollar amount in special gifts for GCMReliant, to help us through this season of transition. Even more than the big picture, though, I just ask you to consider whatever you might be able to do at this time. Perhaps you could give a double-gift for this month. Or perhaps you could think of us as you’re hearing back from the IRS, following the mid-April deadline for filing taxes. Could you please pray about giving a special gift to Great Commission MinistriesReliant Mission, on behalf of our family’s ministry transition?

...

If you feel that you are willing, able, and directed by God to help with giving a special gift, you could (1) Give on-line at www.GCMweb. https://reliant.org/give, following its very clear, convenient instructions for giving via credit card or electronic funds transfer. All you have to do is go to the link, type in our name in the search for “Missionary's Last Name”box and click the green "give" button. You will then be asked to login to your MyGCMreliant.org account, which you may create if you don't already have an account set up. (2) Write out a check to GCMReliant, include a little note in the memo section of the check or on an enclosed slip of paper indicating that the funds are to be directed to ministry account FDNumber (Location—Missionary Name), and send it to Great Commission Ministries at P.O. Box 7101 / Winter Park, FL  32793-7101Reliant Mission at 11002 Lake Hart Dr. Ste 100 Orlando, FL 32832-7106.

If this month’s prayer letter seems like an unabashed, straightforward appeal for help—well, that’s because it pretty much is.  We’re humbled and challenged to be “starting all over again,” yet we’re also glad that we serve a God of New Beginnings. Thanks for all you do to help us. We’ll be in touch.
