Hello everyone!

In whatever circumstances this update finds you, we pray you are experiencing and believing the hopeful reality of 2 Corinthians 9:8 – that ‘God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.’

Isn’t it a comfort to know that God is all-gracious and all-sufficient in all things? Join us in praising God for how we’re learning how to believe these truths and for how we’re experiencing them!

Here’s what you’ll read in this update!

• Recap of our trip to Fallon, Nevada.

• Financial Update.

• Looking ahead.

Fallon, Nevada

‘It’s corn!’ Who knew it could be so beautiful! Outside our bedroom sliding door was the 100 acre field of corn owned by our lovely hosts, Jim and Patti. These two, along with all the others we got to know, accomplished the mission Mike Rosario stated for us when we arrived in Fallon: “You guys, we want you to feel like if you weren’t going to Faith Bible Church or the Czech Republic, that our church body is the one you’d want to be a part of.”

Well done, Grace Bible Church of Fallon, Nevada. We felt like this church had been preparing for a year to spend time with us! We were eagerly met with great hospitality and generosity, and the most genuine care.

The Rosario’s thoughtfully planned a meal with several families from their church for every evening we were there. We got to know many of the deacons and their families through this, along with other lovely families. We also got to attend several of their regional bible studies.

Jared got to preach Sunday morning and share about our ministry, and then we all enjoyed a hearty lunch with the church. We truly feel like we’ve made new friends in Fallon, Nevada. With the church’s approach to missions being ‘one missionary at a time’ we are overjoyed that we get the blessing of being the sole beneficiaries of their missionary care.

Can’t wait to see them all again!

Financial Update

God continues to pave the way! We are now at about 50% of our One-Time costs pledged/given, and 75% of our monthly costs pledged/given!

The need, once again, is that at least 80% of our one-time costs would be covered by January (which would be another $30,000). Ideally, we’d like to be at 100% of our monthly needs met by then as well.

Please continue to pray for this! We’re in conversation with a couple churches/organizations who are considering helping with one-time costs. We don’t know what amounts they’re praying about, but we’re thankful for their joyful consideration.

God is more than able! He gives according to his abundant mercy! One proof of this is that we now have 6 churches supporting us! Most recently, Trinity Church in Spokane Valley has committed to partner with us. This is truly another ideal partnership, since Trinity is a church plant from Faith Bible Church. We are very excited we get to continue our relationship with them as some of their first missionaries!

(If you’re considering giving monthly or as a one-time gift, here’s the link to that giving portal.)

Looking Ahead – Austin, TX

We desire to not take for granted that ALL of our travels in these late months are for visiting churches ALREADY supporting us. We know it’s not the common case that partnership for missions happens as quickly as it has for us. We could be traveling the country to look for support, and instead we’re traveling the country to get to know our supporters.

We’re off to Austin, Texas October 4-8 to get to know Grace Community Bible Church. We’re excited, once again, to continue on in relationships that started during some of the most formative years of our ministry aspirations. During our time in seminary from 2016-2020, we began to get to know Henry and Allie Anderson. Henry now helps lead GCBC.

Please pray for strong health as we travel, that we would be a blessing to the church in Texas, and that we would find rest in God’s daily grace.

Until next time…

Brothers and sisters, we pray for you often when we give thanks to God for how he’s working in our lives. We know you are praying for us as well, and we thank you.

We pray our updates aren’t merely a means of informing you about our lives, but that they are an encouragement to you to labor on in your lives alongside us as well.

May the God of grace make you abound in every good work as you labor for him.
