EN ROUTE TO INDONESIA  (TRIBAL CHURCH PLANTING)

NEW TRIBES MISSION

JANUARY 2, 2012

BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!

 

GOD BLESSED US WITH A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY!  

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR HAVING BEEN ABLE TO STAY AT A NICE HOUSE CLOSE TO OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND CHURCH. WE HAVE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED EVERY DAY. 

NOW IT`S JANUARY AND TIME TO GET BUSY AGAIN IN ANOTHER WAY. 

WE HAVE 3 CHURCHES AND A SMALL GROUP TO SPEAK TO THIS MONTH. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THESE OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS GREAT MINISTRY THAT WE ARE PREPARING FOR. 

I AM ESPECIALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR VISIT TO TORONTO, CANADAAT THE END OF THIS MONTH. 

WE ARE GOING TO SPEAK AT A HUNGARIAN BAPTIST CHURCH THERE. 

I CAN`T WAIT TO SEE OTHER HUNGARIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FINALLY SPEAK IN 

HUNGARIAN. (EDINA)

ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING ABOUT THE NEEDS IN INDONESIA WITH THEM. 

THIS IS A VERY NICE LITTLE CHURCH, I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THEIR SUNDAY SERVICES ONLINE. 

THE PASTOR KINDLY INVITED US TO COME FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND AND SPEND TIME WITH HIS FAMILY AND DO SOME SIGHTSEEING IN TORONTO ETC. WE ARE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT!!!

ANOTHER GOD-THING:

ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE MADE FRIENDS WITH A GENTLEMAN ON FACEBOOK. HE IS ALSO HUNGARIAN BUT LIVES IN CANADA. HIS PARENTS WERE JOHN AND MARGARET CSEREPKA, PIONEER HUNGARIAN MISSIONARIES IN TRANSYLVANIA, CANADA, AND THEN IN BOLIVIA. WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT HIS DAD, JOHN CSEREPKA WAS ACTUALLY THE MAN WHO FOUNDED THAT FIRST HUNGARIAN BAPTIST CHURCH IN TORONTO. 

SO HE IS GOING TO BE THERE TO MEET US. HE HAS BEEN SO ENCOURAGING TO US AND IT IS AN HONOR TO MEET THE SON OF JOHN AND MARGARET CSEREPKA, WHO MADE SUCH A HUGE IMPACT IN MANY PEOPLE`S LIVES. 

 Please pray:
* for opportunities to share about our ministry
* for daily spiritual growth in our personal and family life
* for our funds to come in 

(we are at 20 % of our recommended monthly support. We are grateful for the faithful people that are already supporting us! Yet we still have a long way to go! )
* our planned departure date is June 2012.
* Scott is looking for a job 3-4 days a week

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!

WE KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL 

IN OUR LIVES AND THAT HIS TIMING IS PERFECT!

WE TRUST HIM AND WAIT ON HIM.
