The Gospel Unchained No matter where you find yourself as you read this letter, you are no doubt facing various complexities and even tragedy.

Suffering, disease and death are not a part of God’s original design, but the consequence of man’s rebellion against Him. They serve as a visceral reminder of the seriousness of sin. “When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.” - Rom 5:12 Praise God that He is committed to His work of rescuing this sin-infected world through the saving work of Jesus.

The Show Must Go On In the face of a Global pandemic, several of our field missionaries decided to stay in their remote locations and continue the work. Over the past few months, the Pei, Wantakia and Amdu people have all heard the Gospel for the first time. It is so exciting to watch God’s work forge ahead!

Representing the Unreached As Ethnos360 Representatives, we help raise awareness about the remaining 2500 Unreached People Groups still waiting to hear. One way we have found to do that is by helping local churches develop their missions programs.

“But the word of God cannot be chained.” - 2 Tim 2:9

Hearing for the First Time!

“Jesus took my dirty (sin) to the place of the dead and left it there. And He gave me his clean (righteousness).”

- Legila’s Testimony

In the face of COVID-19 the Gospel continues to go out to remote areas around the world. Earlier this year, The Pei people received the Gospel, the cure for our sin-sick hearts, the greatest pandemic of all!

Jacqueline and I had the privilege of helping to train some of the missionaries on this team.

Alumni Coaching We are continuing to work with graduates from the Ethnos360 Bible Institute as they move toward the next phase of their missionary training. They face unique challenges during the pandemic, but we are able to continue to meet by Zoom. It is a daily encouragement to help direct these young adults.

As full-time missionaries, we are dependent upon donations to meet our financial needs so that we can continue to focus on our ministry roles. Would you consider partnering with us? As we each play our role, the Gospel continues to move out towards the remaining people groups.

This Christmas, let’s praise God together for the greatest Gift, eternal life through Jesus!

Financial Needs

We know that many people are facing financial hardship this year. We have lost some support but thankfully many have been able to continue. For those still able to contribute, here are our needs.

Monthly Gifts Regular monthly or annual contributions are what provides for our income and ministry expenses.

We are currently receiving 86% of our recommended support level.

We have supporters between $20-$350/mo. Your regular contribution of any amount help to make that possible.

One Time Gifts Another way to help is a one time gift, which can help make up for the shortage in monthly giving.

Prayer Requests

• Please pray for our medical, housing, and financial needs

• Please pray for the continued success of the Alumni Program
