UPDATE / March 2021


Dear friends,
​
​There is no greater need in these last days than the God-entranced, Christ-exalting, Spirit-empowered proclamation of the Word of God. Paul told Timothy, "Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season" (2 Tim. 4:2). That mandate has not mitigated. Charles Spurgeon said, "If we are to see the church of God really restored to her pristine glory, we must have back this plain, simple, gospel-preaching.”  We also need clear, in-depth, comprehensive biblical teaching that instructs, equips, and fortifies the people of God to understand "the whole counsel of God" and defend "the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Acts 20:27; Jude 3). Yet, in spite of the crying need, in many places, there is "a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord" (Amos 8:11). Being deeply aware of my own limitations, it is my ambition to continue to serve to help meet this need. The fields are white for harvest but the laborers are few!

Though I was able to advance in my seminary studies, my health crisis made it impossible to work to sustain my family. Now, my current study track is coming to an end, I'm about to graduate with an MDiv (the Lord willing), and I'm gearing up to serve the gospel again in full-time ministry. I'm deeply grateful for the help that our friends have provided for our health expenses this past year. Thanks to your kindness, my health has surprisingly recovered by the mercy of God through the extensive treatments I received! Notwithstanding, we lost our primary sources of support while I was unable to preach. That leaves us in a vulnerable place. While we still receive some support that has been a veritable lifeline to us, and for which we are profoundly grateful, it is not enough to cover current expenses. We have need of additional, ongoing monthly support for our ongoing expenses, into the near future. 

​Would you kindly consider supporting us on a monthly basis for the next six months or so as we get on our feet and build up some momentum in our current ministry pursuits?​ We will send monthly updates, D.V., so that you can know how things are progressing.

We especially have need for monthly supporters at this time. Every donation, however small, makes a difference.

“If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness, it is the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world.”
​—Charles H. Spurgeon
“If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned and unprayed for.” -Charles H. Spurgeon
