Our family is just finishing up the first week of staff training with Encounter Ministries. What a joy it has been getting to know the new team members – 15 of them! They seem like very sweet, dedicated young people, many of whom have dreamed of being Encounter team members for years! God has been evident in our meetings with them; rehearsals are going very well, they are learning sign language for several songs they will be singing this year, and they are open to God’s dealings in their lives.
Ardy just announced the destination of our missions trip this year… we are returning to India to invest in the lives of the 1800+ orphans, 750 widows, 150 national pastors, and 200 nursing students! The team went there last May and were greatly impacted by their time there. Ardy said that of all the countries they have ministered in, India has had the greatest effect on the lives of the team members, so we will be going there with them this year! One big change is that they are planning on going in either January or March instead of May because the temperature is better (80’s instead of 110+!!), so we have a HUGE prayer request for you . . . we need to raise $3000 each in order to go on this trip! That will be $15,000 for our family alone. Please pray that the Lord will lay on the hearts of His people the desire to participate in the ministry to widows and orphans in India through our team shortly after Christmas. We know He has promised to provide for our every need, and that this is not a large amount to the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills. It will be exciting to see how He provides for us! We are thrilled at the opportunity to go and see first-hand the work that Encounter has been involved in for several years, and to have a small part in ministering to those dearest to the heart of God – widows, orphans, and the poor. If you are interested in investing in this ministry opportunity, you can send your gifts to Encounter Revival Ministries, 2200 Blue Mountain Pkwy, Harrisburg, PA 17112 and earmark it for ST. CLAIR MISSION TRIP FUND. Thank you so much for your love and interest in our family and ministry!
We are praying for you – if you have a specific request we can join you in, drop us a note by e-mail and we will be honored to bring your needs before the Father’s throne. Thank you for all you do, and for what you mean in our lives!
