SOMETHING ONLY GOD CAN DO!
I am excited to share the news that only God can do! In January, a pastor contacted me about a remnant of people--approximately 14 families--who are located in Edmonton, Alberta. These families have been searching for a solid, Bible-believing, preaching, and Baptist church with no success. Since none could be found, the Lord put it on their hearts to come together and look for a man called by God to lead them into birthing a church.

After much searching, many interviews, and nearly a year later, they came across my information. After two months of seeking the Lord in prayer, I am excited to share with you that we are now leading them through discipleship, preaching, and prayer. This is a great group of God-loving and God-seeking people whom we are reaching through zoom and live stream and who are willing to wait for us to get fully funded! Please keep them in your prayers and pray that God will get us there quickly!
UPDATE ON OUR START-UP COSTS
We are overwhelmed by the blessings from our many supporting churches who have answered the call to help get us to Canada. The Lord has raised nearly $25,000 since we announced our start-up cost goals last month! Praise the Lord! Thank you for your love, support, and prayers for reaching Alberta, Canada, with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
PRAISE THE LORD! WE ARE AT 50%
We are excited to announce that we have raised 50% of our monthly support needed in eight months on deputation! This does not include the several churches we are waiting to hear from—who are finishing up their faith promise campaigns and planning to vote in the next few weeks.
Please join us as we praise the Lord for reaching this milestone! And thank you for your faithful giving, love for Christ, and obedience to the Great Commission, of which we can not do this without.
