Dear Praying Friends,
As we see the year coming to an end, let me thank you again for your faithful support and involvement in our ministry.
Just after I sent our last letter I got a call to see if I could preach at a deaf event in Arizona because the main speaker had a death in the family. Three days later I was on a plane headed to a great retreat with old and new friends.
Recruiting Trips
In October, Stephanie and I were on the campuses of Pensacola Christian College and Ambassador Baptist College to meet young people and talk with them about missions. These are always great meetings and I love interacting with the students.
We also had the privilege to interview a new missionary couple in October who later joined BIO at our annual meeting.
40th Anniversary of BIO
Our mission board, Baptist International Outreach, started in 1985. At our annual conference in November we celebrated 40 years as a ministry. It was wonderful to see old friends who came to celebrate with us and to make new ones.
There were 17 current and 5 former missionary families who attended. We had former board members along with current ones with us. Three new families joined the BIO missionary family.
Bolivia
We purchased our tickets for the trip to Bolivia! We will leave the second week of March and stay until the end of May. During that time we will help start a deaf ministry in the city of Tarija, Bolivia. Please pray for this endeavor.
We have already received $950 of the estimated $4800 needed for the trip. The plane tickets were less than anticipated, so we now only need $2800 more. Thank you for keeping this need in your prayers. If you would like to help towards the trip, you can send a check to BIO marked “Peach Bolivia” and it will get to us. Or, you can scan the QR code and give via PayPal which will still go through the BIO office.
Thank you for reading this letter and praying for our ministry.
