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.

Changing Lives Who Will Change Nations

You may recall we have been directing missionary internships for 15 years. We recently completed the first ever Go To Nations (GTN) Timothy Internship Program in the United States (Jacksonville, FL). Five new missionaries were equipped and empowered, they have been filled up and are ready to be sent out!

Send More Workers, Lord! Go To Nations has a proven equipping track that has been empowering new missionaries to go to the nations (see what I did there?) since the 1980's. Dave and I have been a part of serving with the Equipping Division for the past 15 years. 

Balaan Bukid, Guimaras

This being Maundy Thursday we decided to join the pilgrims here in Iloilo and visit the Balaan Bukid on the nearby island of Guimaras. The hike details the stations of the cross, with the culmination of large cross on the highest point on the island. Afterwards we swam at the nearby Alubihod Beach. It was a perfect day to hike to the cross and then also to enjoy some sun and surf.
