Update from Andrew

"I have decided to try a sort of experiment. I will be posting videos as I travel around the world on YouTube. They will be short updates from the field. The videos will be unedited, raw footage. What you see is what you get. My purpose is, first, to keep you informed so you can pray for me and, secondly, to provide a glimpse of my life in order for you to see what missions can look like in one context. My desire is that you would seek God and ask Him how He wants you to expand the reach of the Gospel. 

I’m calling this YouTube missions experiment: ProjectGofer 

Here’s where you come in, make sure YOU SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel by clicking on the subscribe button above the video. This will allow you to receive a notification when I post a new video. It will also allow you to access all my videos and not get lost in the big world of YouTube.

Love you all. Keep Christ first. Be faithful wherever you are." 

Grace and Peace,
Andrew

Missionary Spotlight ~ Andrew Day

Today is a big day for my brother Andrew. Early this morning he started his journey to England to serve with George Verwer and Operation Mobilization. 

From Andrew's newsletter:

"It was also at Moody that God brought George Verwer and the ministry of Operation Mobilization in my path. 

George Verwer is the founder and former director of Operation Mobilization (OM) an international mission agency that works in 118 countries. 

Mr. Verwer is a prolific author and a popular speaker around the world. He challenges people with the great need for missions and raises awareness and funds for global needs. 

Last year Mr. Verwer spoke around 300 times to diverse audiences of all ages. 

I’m excited to let you know that this August I will be starting a year long ministry as George Verwer’s personal assistant (aka. Go-fer). I will be traveling with him everywhere he goes and assisting him with anything he needs. 

When we are not traveling and speaking at a conference or some sort of event. I will be helping him out of his home office outside of London England. The job description of a gofer is anything, anytime, anywhere."

If you would like to receive Andrew's newsletters you can email me or Andrew and we'll add you to the list.

Every OM missionary has to raise their own support to cover ministry expenses. Andrew's trusting the Lord to bring in team members to be an important part of the ministry both through prayer support and financial support. He realizes that without God's strength and the support of God's people he would not be able to go have a part in reaching the world with the gospel. So he values the sacrifices his supporters are making on his behalf.

If you pray about it and feel like this is something God wants you to be a part of you can email Andrew at awd.day (at) gmail (dot) com.

Uprooted from their home because of cival war! Twice!

In 1984 Bob and Sonya Hazen headed to Liberia in West Africa with hopes of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

After five years, a violent civil war forced them to relocate to the neigboring country of Ivory Cost.

For the next eleven years they served there with NTM bringing hope to the hopeless. 

Yet once again their family was uprooted by civial war!

The Lord has now moved them back to the States were Bob and Sonya serve at the New Tribes Mission Missionary Training Center here in Missouri.

"What a great privilege!" they say about their jobs of training and raising up the next generaion of tribal missionaries.

Take a look at this video...

Geoff and I first met the Hazens when we were going through the training in Pennsylvania. They were on staff there and are now on staff here in Missouri.

Sonya looks after Ethan in the Minis class and Bob is one of our teachers!

Here he is teaching the time managment class to a class before us.
