Spring 2025 update, a lot has happened since our last newsletter so we wanted to bring you all up to speed. First of all, we are so grateful to God and to you for the way y’all have partnered with us through reading our newsletters, praying for us, encouraging us, being part of our care team, and for your generous financial support. Thank you all so much, it humbles us and reminds us that we are all part of an incredible team God has put together to further the gospel around the world. ...

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall cal His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins. - Matt 1:21 Merry Christmas Everyone! At Thanksgiving, I (Tim) was asked the question “if I could pick one word that would describe the last year. What would it be and why?” I picked the word wow. Why would I use the one word wow to describe the last year? It’s because as I look back at all that God has let us put our hands to this year all I could think to say was wow. Many of you have received and read our updates throughout the year and I’m sure you would agree with me if you haven’t then please visit our blog and catch up on all that happened this year. Looking back at the last couple of months it’s a big WOW. June – October was an incredible season starting with six weeks in Mexico at the Calvary school of missions. CSOM where I Tim get to direct the school assisted by my beautiful wife and an incredible team of past graduates, who are in training, learning skills that will assist them on the mission field (please read last month‘s update for further information on that.) At the end of the six weeks in Mexico, we came back to the states for two weeks in order to regroup and wrap up the admin portion of CSOM. Early September, we launched out to Thailand and south Asia for six more weeks to lead a few students on a vision tour, visit the church plants and workers there, host one of the most incredible conferences in Thailand that I’ve ever been at where we had close to 50 SGWM “Workers” gathered, many of them serve in countries where It is illegal to preach the gospel or share the Bible with the intent to convert someone to christianity. Leaving Thailand we went to South Asia where we had opportunity to teach at some of the Bible colleges and churches. strengthen, encourage, and council senior pastors and there wife’s in the church plants of restricted country where Christians are highly persecuted, and the gospel is not welcomed. Pastor Gary, and myself also had the privilege of teaching systematic theology and the book of Colossians at two of the Bible colleges there. It is such an incredible privilege to be able to train up future church, planters and pastors in a country Where over 1 billion people have never heard the name of Jesus and are completely deceived and lost in Hinduism. ...

The view is incredible, the ground is fertile, trees planted by streams of water with roots running deep. Their leaves are not withering. Their fruit is big and luscious. If we could buy this property we would but we can’t… It’s CSOM!! (Calvary School of Missions) 16 Students: Serena, Alyson, Elli, Olivia, Ariana, Zoe, Michaiah, Emma, Brittany, Katia, John, James, Deprii, Judah, Christian & Russell seeking the Lord with all they’ve got. To say that Watching them use the gifts God has given them was amazing is an understatement. Seven of these students came from the body here at Calvery Chapel Saving Grace. Four students came from Calvary Chapel Simple Faith in Washington, 1 student from Arizona. 1 from Nevada and the others were local. We are excited to share with you that at least 10 of these 16 students will be taking a next step in continuing on with the Missions Training School (MTS) at Saving Grace. Typically a minimum of a 1 year commitment, they will receive in-depth intensive training in church, planting, Bible literacy, cultural issues, being a part of ascending hub, the inner workings of a missions sending agency and so much more. Can you please join us in praying for them individually as they continue to seek the Lord and be equipped for the Mission field,. Please pray for us too, as when we are not out on the field, engaged in missionary care and missionary training we are here at the home office running the MTS ...

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.” Isaiah 55:8 NKJV Hello our friends and family, It’s been a few months since our last update and we are very grateful for each of you who pray for us, encourage us or financially partner with us as we continue to be faithful and obedient to our Father! So many privilege’s and opportunities have been placed in our path and God continues to show us it’s not about our ways, but His ways! It’s definitely been a humbling experience but by God’s grace, we are blessed to be a part of His plan. His Will. ...

How great are His signs, and how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation. Daniel 4:3 Last month we mentioned that we wanted to “Be Still” and wait upon the Lord. Well, we did that and heard Him saying to continue being faithful to what is in front of us. Jenn is itching to “GO,” however, we are to STAY for now. There are many opportunities and privileges God has put in front of us. The sheep need us, MTS (Missions Training School) & CSOM (Calvary School of Missions) need us, the missionaries overseas need us… and of course we couldn’t do any of this without each and every one of you and most importantly our Father! We need Him! Amen?! ...

Did you hear it? Did you hear it? We heard it. The starting pistol… it went off and the rat race begins. The first thing we’ve decided to do in 2024 is BE STILL !! The tendency is to hit the ground running, I’m sure we’re not alone but Jenn and I have decided to be still and know that He is God. We’re not going to try to catch up on any undone business of 2023. We’re not going to try to check off our to-do list or New Year’s resolutions of 2024 before we learn to practice the art of being still before our great God and king. We were grateful to be able to have a week of downtime between Christmas and New Year’s. 2024 started off with a short week in the office, followed by a weeklong time of prayer and fasting that our whole church engages in. ...

To borrow a line from an old song… “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” There are many wonderful things about this month. There is the heightened awareness and celebration of Jesus, the Messiah, and the indescribable gift of grace, and love that God has given us, the opportunity and openness of this time of year for the gospel to go forth, and gratitude and love, that seems to be more freely shared. Another one of the things that Jenn and I truly love around Christmas time is wrapping. I know that may sound strange, but the wrapping of gifts and the beauty of gifts wrapped and placed under the tree and the thoughtfulness that goes into it has a super special spot in our hearts. As we wrap up 2023 we hope to do a good job of wrapping up in this final update. ...

You gotta stick the landing !! In gymnastics an event can be fierce, the workouts, the practices, not to mention the competitions themselves are highly emotional and physically challenging. One of the most important things is to stick the landing… What does this mean? At the end of your gymnastic event there’s one final move and how you land can make all the difference in the world. As we have had a few moments to reflect on the past eight weeks in Mexico with the 2023 CSOM, our heart is to stick the landing… Land well. That’s the moment that can make all the difference. `Well thanks to our Gods grace, mercy, and the prayers of friends like you that’s exactly what happened. We landed well, six weeks of training, stretching and growing for staff and students alike. And we were no exception. We were able to get back to America and have time to wrap up the administrative details of the school. C alvary S chool O f M issions as you know, is no small feet, it takes months and months and months of preparation for us which is including but not limited to interviewing students, securing lodging, food, transportation. Arranging Ministry outreach, organizing curriculum, securing teachers, I’m exhausted just writing this :-) ...
