We enjoyed celebrating a new building and 50 years of ministry at Hillery Assembly of God in Danville, IL with partners Pastor Ken & Marilyn Young.  (Top left)  
We also had the joy of talking missions over lunch with our new friends Pastor Wes Hart & his missions committee from Anchor of Life AG in Belleville, IL. (Top right) 

Gaining Traction...

     It's been about 3 years since God birthed M.A.D. in our hearts and another 1 1/2 before it was launched.  We are excited to say that we are beginning to see some of the first fruits of M.A.D. - Missions Awareness and Development!!!  It has been no small amount of work helping people understand who we are and what M.A.D. does but we are finally gaining traction.  (For those who may still be unclear about MAD and how we can help click here to learn more.)  
     One of our joys is to sit with a pastor or a newly forming missions committee and help them discover how they can impact their local church, their community and their world by developing the DNA of missions within their local body.   We've had several opportunities to do that within the past few months. We've also strategized with pastors on how to effectively bring missions to the forefront in their particular church.  We've come alongside other pastors and encouraged them in the work they are doing and planted seeds for missions along the way.  Truly we are blessed to have such a 'job'!  
     For those of you who partner with us through finances and prayer we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU!  What we have accomplished together has already had significant impact.  One church went from giving a small amount to missions to several hundred dollars a month by the pastor simply beginning to be strategic in challenging his congregation to invest in missions.  Now they are able to invest in many more places around the world, partnering with missionaries who carry the message of Jesus Christ to the country of their calling!!  
     As M.A.D. continues to gain even greater traction, impacting more churches and individuals, our return of investment will be even greater!!  Once again, THANK YOU for sending us.  THANK YOU for praying for us.  TOGETHER we truly do make a difference!

Thank You!
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to those who have chosen to partner with us as we work to assist the local church in All Things Missions.  Together, we will make a difference, helping every church to do its part to reach the lost locally, 
regionally, nationally, and globally - until He comes!
