BECAUSE OF YOU



As we have continued this journey of Fully Relying on God`s Provisions, we have also realized the importance of allowing God to use individuals as partners in this ministry that he has called us to.  It is to that end that we write to you, Thanking You, first and foremost for your prayer partnership but as well and equally needed your financial partnerships.  One of the things we first noticed as we became involved with the ministry of Saints Equipped to Evangelize was the amount of Homeschool families that were directly related to or impacted through the ministry components of Saint Equipped to Evangelize and Saints Bible Institute. 

Study Abroad Italy

Our prayer became that God would begin opening doors for us to share and connect with this community in a new way, which led us to becoming involved in their Annual Convention Activities.  We were excited to be able to share the ministry of Saints Equipped to Evangelize within the setting of several Homeschool Conventions.  It was exciting to see how God continued to open doors for us to share not only with the parents and teens about the opportunities for missions trips and Saints Bible Institute but also the doors that were opened to minister within the children’s programming.  It is our prayer and passion that young people and in turn families are strengthened by seeking God’s direction and calling in their life.  We realize that it is different for everyone and we want to be there to be an encouragement as this process takes place. None of this would be possible if it were not for your prayers and support.  So it is to you we say............
