A New Beginning in the New Year
The New Year is a time for people to have a new beginning and we are no exception. We have some wonderful news and wanted to share it with you.
Yes, we are still going to Peru and continue to be excited to see how God is working out all the details. One of those details He is working out is to allow us to go to the field serving our Heavenly Father as independent missionaries. We will have our home church Bridgeway as our covering/oversight and are going to Peru with their blessing. Our ministry plan and financial support has been approved by Bridgeway. Our Pastor, elders, and mission board are fully supporting us! Praise God for His hand on us during this time of transition and for providing a way for us to follow Him!
Because of our close association with New Covenant Ministries and specifically Bruce Carter, we did have a meeting with Bruce Carter to share our heart and our leading of the Lord. We have a long-term friendship and close working relationship with Bruce and he was understanding, respectful and accepting of our decision. We have also notified the Board of Directors of NCM our resignation.
We continue to feel burdened to work in the sector churches establishing AWANA clubs, assisting them in becoming self-sufficient, researching cottage-industry type opportunities for the women of Pat's Place and the teens of Hope House and assisting in workshops, conferences for teaching lay ministry to the Peruvian Christians in an effort to bring the Christians in the sector churches to a more mature desire to support the individual pastors. Bruce said he would share his agreement with this arrangement with Pastor Gino Benvenutto, the Senior Pastor of the sector churches we work with in Peru.
Your partnership in this ministry is as important now as it has ever been. We would not be able to serve our Lord in Peru without your support. To allow you to continue to make tax deductible contributions to our ministry, Bridgeway Church has set up account to accept donations and you can start using it immediately. Please make checks to: Bridgeway Church. Please mark in the memo section: TEAM Missions In Peru. The mailing address: Bridgeway Church, 4755 Kimball Bridge Road, Alpharetta, GA 30005.
We covet your prayers as we embark on this endeavor. To read about our “Journey with Jesus here in Duluth and there in Peru”, check out TEAMissionsinperu.blogspot.com.
