Dear Friends and Partners,
Before we write anything about the missions or ourselves, we wish all of you a blessed and Happy Easter. May you truly find your peace and your satisfaction in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, and in the salvation that He wants to bring to your lives, through your personal faith in Him. That's what makes a really HAPPY EASTER!
When we returned from the overseas last August, we had two giant decisions to make; one had to do with our beloved Shopiere ministry here in Wisconsin and the other had to do with obeying God in funding Timothy Ministries. After months of prayer and searching the Bible, we made both decisions.
On 29 May, we will hand over the work ion Shopiere, WI so we can concentrate more effectively on the Bible Teaching and Revival missions that God has given s in Africa, Europe, and North America. The invitations to other nations and even right here in America are increasing monthly. The Shopiere people are on a solid Biblical footing and have become an exciting mission-hearted congregation. Now, we will be “on the road” even more than in the past. It is as though Timothy Ministries is starting to “rev up” even faster than before.
Concerning the funding of Timothy Ministries, we have always subscribed to the teachings of George Muller, the German minister who cared for over 2000 orphans in the 19th Century England. He said he never asked a man for money… he only asked God. And God put in the hearts of people to support the work that Muller and his wife did among the down-and-out British society. We’ve felt that he was right, that’s why we have tried not to inundate you with financial requests.
Last autumn, several of our partners asked us “What do you specifically need for 2007?” Finally, we made up the “Wish List” with the itemized costs for our work this year. As we write today, 85% of those needs have been met by the generosity and “big hearts” of many of YOU who are reading this letter right now. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! BLESS YOU! We just know that God will finish the job (English carhire & African cell phone) so we will go in June funded at 100%.
The one other project that has been on the “back burner” for three years is buying a used Toyota truck for our mission at Six Trees, South Africa. The time has come for us to do that. We believe God for the remainder of the money before we fly out in June. He knows what is needed and we know God will touch hearts (as He already has just this month) to complete the fund before we head across the ocean once more. We’ve told God! Now, if you’re interested, we’ll tell you. Just ask!
Pray for us. We count on that. We cannot launch a new mission offensive without your prayers. You’ll hear from us, again, right before we go to Africa in June. God loves you…so do we!
