In the Footsteps of Paul

Cyprus is a beautiful and geographically strategic nation as it is the doorway to Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The Go To Nations team there is growing and accomplishing significant ministry--Lord, send more missionaries! Returning to Cyprus In Acts 13 the Apostle Paul traveled to Cyprus. He made this trip so he could encourage and equip the Christians there. Following his footsteps and purpose, last month, I (Dave) made my second trip to this Mediterranean island nation. The Go To Nations (GTN) Cyprus team, along with internship director Yolanda Ortega, just finished hosting their second internship. I was there for the final week to teach and help the team finish this endeavor. Chris and I have been serving in the GTN equipping department for most of our missionary careers. Our roles in the department are expanding and we will be making more trips like these, helping our international teams provide on-the-field training to equip believers to be full time missionaries. Aligning with this role, Chris is now the Director of Missionaries in Training. She will oversee believers as they walk through the GTN equipping track: from "fresh off the street," through internship and apprenticeship, all the way to being released as career missionaries. Chris and I both feel that our years in Asia have truly prepared us for what God has next for us. He is the One we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. Colossians 1:28 The dedication and hard work pays off! Embracing the process, Chris and Sheila Conley have now graduated from their Timothy Internship!  We continue to get more and more settled in our American home and in our new and expanded roles in the equipping department.
