500 on 5 Continents

You may recall the big news in our previous newsletter. Here are more details as to what God has next for us.

The Lord gave our Go To Nations leadership the vision to raise up 1,000 Millennial and Gen Z missionaries by 2030- this is a huge goal. Aligning ourselves with this goal, God has challenged Chris and I to raise up 500 of that 1,000. By 2030 we hope to train 500 Millennial and Gen Z interns through the Timothy Internship Program (TIP). We will do this by expanding the internship program to 5 continents.

We directed 6 TIPs in the Philippines, and that caused the GTN Philippine team to grow. We directed 6 TIPs in Thailand, and we saw similar growth to that team. GTN Cyprus held their first TIP in 2019, and GTN Honduras held one in 2021. With more internships worldwide, we are confident we will see the trend of growing GTN teams--more workers for the global harvest!

Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back. Isaiah 54:2
Way back in 2004 we were interns (with a very young Eric and Faith). We feel the GTN Timothy Internship Program is the best way to prepare someone for long term, missionary service.
Our largest batch of interns was 16, and the kids made this group even bigger! We have trained singles, married couples, and young families how to more than just survive, but THRIVE on the mission field.

Departing

Leaping off the Leadership Development post, I have some somewhat sad news. Chris and the kids will be leaving for the States this Saturday. They leave for Manila on Friday, and then fly onward to the States on Saturday, arriving in Baltimore around midnight (Maryland time) Saturday evening. Why is this sad? My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...

I love short- term missions. In college I went on five short-term missions trips, all five to Mexico. On those trips we would do street evangelism through dramas and skits. On my first short-term missions trip during my Sophomore year at Oral Roberts University, I led someone through the Sinner's Prayer for the very first time. I will never forget that experience. As a young teenager, I heard the call to foreign missionary work. I remember the night I heard the Lord reveal to me that I would be a missionary. On the short-term trips during my college years, I felt that call to missions strengthened and confirmed. The Sonshine Center has several teams visiting each year. This year, we have a team coming almost every month. I love when short-term missions teams come. I love to see people join the ministry, even if just for a week or just a few days. I love the enthusiasm and excitement teams bring. A husband and wife we are very close to will be visiting us with a team thi...
