Volume 14

Huge Announcement

We are going to be leaving International Project soon. Working and living in NYC has been an amazing experience but our needs are not being met here. As you may know NYC is expensive and funding has been an ongoing issue. Furthermore, life in the city is quite challenging and even dangerous at times. The good here has mostly outweighed the bad. Yet we feel a strong calling towards God’s people. The work I have done in the office at International Project is important but I want see lives changed one on one, to serve a community as a pastor.

Looking Back

While working with International Project has been a great learning experience for our family. When I first joined IP I came with the goal of helping update the communications side of things. Over our time here, I have been able to update the website making it significantly faster, develop the brand style, shine a light on security issues for the missionaries, help increase the number of potential missionaries at IP, set up many new systems, and help raise funds for campaigns. It has been a blessing to work with so many people who have stepped out in faith to follow God. The memories of our time here will last a lifetime, and I will be telling the stories of our time here for years to come. We are not leaving IP or the city yet. We are still waiting for God to guide us where to go. But soon we will be moving on.

Looking Ahead

We have been talking to many different churches and praying about where God is calling us. This past week we went on a trip to Wisconsin to visit a small church plant. We are presently asking God if this is where he is calling us to.

Right Now

Right now at IP our team is working together to get the Year End Campaign off the ground. Trish, our development director is hoping to raise over $100,000 this year from the campaign. To that end I got to build a lot of web pages to process those donations, help write and build several emails and a letter, and set up a couple Instagram and Facebook ad tests. The other day in the office we packed and sent almost a thousand letters! It was an all day project. We got to know each other better and explore the biblical complexity of prayer from multiple angles!

Important

We have not stopped working at IP yet. So please continue your giving towards our work here in NYC. Your support makes everything we do possible. Thank You! Note: When we leave International Project we plan to call each and everyone of our supporters. So rest assures we will keep you in the loop.
