Sad News

We received a phone call on Thursday, February 11, that David’s father, Jerry Grotton, had passed away in his home in Connecticut.  We mourn this tremendous loss, but not without hope and joy for Jerry is in the very presence of His Savior!  

After praying and speaking with his siblings, David won’t travel at this time.  He will be able to participate virtually in the services that are planned for next Friday, February 19th.  If you have any special memories of Jerry, feel free to write or call David.

Move to Concon

Praise God with us that we moved to our new apartment in Concón on January 21.  God graciously gave us peace at every step and provided our family with a beautiful new home - one in which we hope to welcome guests and visitors very soon!  We have spent the last three weeks unpacking, organizing and relishing our new community.  Thank you for praying us to this point!

Invitation to MTW’s Virtual Missions Conference, 2/19 & 2/20

If you haven’t already been invited, we wanted to extend an invitation to participate in MTW’s Virtual Missions Conference to be held Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February 20.  It will NOT be one long, boring Zoom meeting - we promise!  There is NO charge to attend.

The unexpected arrival of COVID-19 caused all of MTW’s missionaries to shift many of our plans and strategies, but ministry did not stop. Far from it. In many places, it flourished. Join us and hear encouraging stories from MTW leaders and missionaries on the field about what God has done, as well as a vision for the future.

We’ll kick things off 7:00 p.m. EST Friday, February 19, with our missionary meetup “booths” prior to the initial plenary session which will start at 8:00 p.m. We’ll hear a talk from MTW Coordinator Lloyd Kim followed by a worship concert by Micah Iverson, finalist from season 18 of The Voice. We’ll pick back up again at 9:30 a.m. EST Saturday morning, February 20 for a variety of talks, breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, missionary meetups, and more, before concluding at 3:00 p.m. Join us for all of it, or come to what interests you!
