Our hearts abound with thankfulness to the Lord for those of you who have invested in sending us off to Cameroon and yet…we are still in Louisville. While we have lists of answered prayers, we still have yet to hit 100% of our budget. Our prayer is to reach 100% of our budget needs by Dec 1st so that we can begin linguistics study in January.
Specifically, we need to raise about $583 (updated 11/22) more a month and about $19,675 (updated 11/22) in one-time gifts in order to be released by our agency to start linguistics training. We would need to have this money by Dec 1st. So, with the hopes that the following realities may be God’s means to compel you to invest in our ministry, we want to remind you that your giving could…
How beautiful are the feet of those who went to the Kimyal peoples and preached the Gospel to them. And equally how beautiful are the hands that gave so that missionaries could be sent. The supporters that sent the translators overseas are, in part, the reason that the Kimyal people are worshipping Jesus. It is not “less spiritual” to give to the cause of missions than it is to go into missions. We are all the same body working towards the same goal. Will you send us so that in 30 years we can be singing and dancing with another tribe as they receive the Bible?
Your giving could also…
People from every language will be worshipping Jesus, but how are they to worship unless they believe? And how are they to believe without hearing the Gospel? And how are they to hear it without someone preaching? And how can there be preachers unless we are sent? Missions is the means by which Revelation 5 will be made possible. Will you send us to Cameroon so that when you get to Heaven, you can look to your left and see someone from Cameroon praising Jesus?
And your giving could…
Hell is real. Today, in Cameroon, people are dying. And, to those who do not know Christ, they will be judged and then destroyed in Hell forever. Many will be thrown into the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. Many will go away into eternal punishment, under the wrath and vengeance of God. And this suffering will never end (Heb 9:27, Matt 10:28, Rev 21:8, Matt 25:41-46, Rom 12:19).
Your giving could also…
Further, your giving could…
We have been praying that the Lord would provide for us quickly so that many others would see how the Lord provided for us and would know that the Lord could also provide for them. Many are intimidated to go into missions because the idea of support raising makes them sick and nervous. Contrarily, we want people to look at our example and say, “Well, the Lord provided for the Hare’s so he can provide for us.” Will you give to our ministry so that many will remember the Lord’s provision for us and then go into missions themselves?
