Our February mission team meeting began with the reaffirmation of our new mission statement for 2009:
“To equip, exhort and encourage our members to be engaged physically, financially, and spiritually in the task of reaching the Ends of the Earth with the Gospel of Christ”.
Please lift our brother and his family, Don Rogers, up in prayer. He recently suffered a massive stroke and will need our support during this difficult time. To track his condition and send a supportive message, go to www.carepages.com and
Enter, “Don Rogers Sr.” in the search box and select find.
Once at the desired page scroll down to “Carepages website to explore”.
Select “PrayerPartners-Do…” link on the left hand side of Don’s name, if you aren’t a member of Carepages you will be asked to create an account. The account is free and took me less than 30 seconds to complete.
Once completed you will be logged into “Don Rogers Prayer Partners” page that contains updated information on his condition and allows you to send a supportive message to him as well.
If you’re interested in the Mongolian mission work supported by Mitch & Baljmaa Tillman please see www.video.yahoo.com , in the search blank enter, “mitchtillman316” and select the, “playlists” tab. There are currently 51 short videos which reveal a small sliver of the wonderful work that is being accomplished in this region.
Please continue to lift up our missionary brother Roscoe Brewer in prayer as he furthers the effort to overcome the political red tape barriers in Middle East concerning the installation of our radio station. They have also had Crayola to donate crayons to be distributed with coloring books to the children of the region.
