This is an update from Ian — keep him in prayer as he looks to finish raising support (see below for more information if you feel led to help out in this regard) and prepares to leave for Asia.
>> I thought I’d give you an update on where I’m at now. I just came back from our team orientation in Vancouver. I met everyone on the team and we had some good training time. I also found out that I will be in the same city that I went to on the other two short term missions a couple of years ago. All of the missionaries in that city have left, so our team is brand new and we will be pioneering ministries on two new campuses as well as continuing with another campus. There are 8 people on my team including myself.
I will be in Ham to meet up with people next week and say goodbye. The good news is that I need 90% of my full support before they’ll let me on the plane and I already have close to two thirds. To put it in perspective so you can know what to pray for… if 9 people committed $100/mo for 11 months or if 18 people committed $50/mo for 11 months or if 36 people committed $25/mo for 11 months, then I’d be all set to go and start reaching people for Christ.
I also don’t know if it’s a possibility, but I’ll keep you posted on the upcoming vision trips. Twice a year they send one week trips of supporters and potential stinters to our city to encourage us and see what the ministry is like.
I’ll try to be there soon. If you want to reach me, 519-438-9656.
