Expecting the Unprecedented.
Greetings from Tulsa, Oklahoma! Today I'd like to let you know that Bridgette and I are praying for you, dear friends. We continually stand in awe of the partnership and support we receive from people like you and churches like yours as we are now well into our 23rd year of evangelism. And in the face of the unknowns due to this worldwide pandemic, we realize all the more that we are living by faith. Living by faith, in Jesus above, the old song says. We are indeed trusting, confiding in His great love! When you consider that the world is now forced to acknowledge the reality that we are truly living one day at a time, we are gripped with the greater understanding: Jesus is coming soon!
Last week via the medium of Facebook LIVE, I was privileged to worship together with many of you with the primary goal of raising funds for many of our fellow full-time evangelists. So many are at a complete stand-still at this moment as the ministry and income of itinerating evangelists have been dramatically affected.
I want to personally thank those of you who have already sowed into that effort. While we have yet to reach our goal of $20,000, we are on our way to that end and have already begun to mail out the funds as they arrive to us. What a blessing it is to be a blessing!

We covet your prayers as these days are the days for which the evangelist was born. In the midst of this time of "shelter in place", we are asking the Lord to grant us special opportunities to preach the Gospel. We have been blessed by special offerings sent to us in the mail, keeping us moving forward in the midst of uncharted territory.
Be encouraged: now is the time to draw closer to the Lord, find ourselves seeking His face and looking for His return. We are seeing and experiencing the birth pangs that cause us as believers to look up for our redemption that is drawing nigh. We are listening every moment for a trumpet to sound!
Expecting the Unprecedented,
Chresten & Bridgette Tomlin
