Prayer List

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2021 AT 7 PM

Crabbe Mountain Inn (1200 Central Hainesville Road)

Money is something everyone uses, but not everyone uses well! If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, in debt, or just want to learn how to manage your money better, we’re offering a free financial seminar to help you!

Light refreshments provided, but the kitchen will be open if anyone wants to buy from the menu. No cost to attend and whoever comes will receive a link to a bonus Zoom session with Neil about making a budget.

It’s that time again! Bring your wheelers and side-by-sides to church for a day of fun out on the trails. If you have a dirt bike, please contact us to make sure you know about the trails difficulty.

We’ll leave 30 minutes after the end of our Sunday Service. Make sure you bring a bagged lunch and we’ll eat together on the trail.

Dear Partners,

Wow! Summer has flown by!

Just a few months ago, I was able to visit some of our Wesleyan Bible Schools in the Southern Region of Africa. Accompanied by Dr. Henry Smith and Kent Peterson, it was an amazing learning experience. I’m still celebrating this incredible time and I am so excited to share one highlight story with you (with many more to come!):

1 Bible School Principal Equipped in eSwatini

After years of study and hard work, Joshua has completed his Masters program through Wesley Seminary. Although Joshua began his training while serving in his home country of Kenya, we now see that God was also preparing him for his current role at Emmanuel Wesleyan Bible College in eSwatini.
Joshua wanted to personally thank those who helped make his program possible. Please take a moment to read his message to you here.
While at EWBC, I was able to capture a short video of Joshua. Click the video image below to view.

3 Training to Pastor in Rwanda

Due to increased Government regulations, pastors in the country of Rwanda can only serve if they have a certain level of education, training and certification. I’m excited to share that we have been able to help 3 pastors enter education programs that will bring their training up to these standards in order to pastor local churches. Pictured below is one of the three, Jean-Paul Bizimungu

1 Additional Pastor Studying in Ibero-America

Isaac Roman is one of the latest additions to the Wesley Seminary Spanish M-Div Cohort. Isaac is currently pastoring a local church in Panama. As a result of this training, he will not only be better equipped to serve his local congregation, but also have the skills to help train and equip future pastors.

Prayer Request: Please be in prayer as many Bible Schools start their year in the fall. So, they’ve just begun to gather together for courses.

BONUS: If you’ve visited any of our Wesleyan Bible Colleges, anywhere in the world, I would love to hear from you! Take a moment to shoot me back an email listing where you’ve been and share a memory of your visit.

Thank you so much for your partnership with each and everyone of these pastors and leaders. Your giving is having a huge impact around the world!

Amplifying Together,

Mike Morgan
Director of Executive Initiatives
