Gregg and Rawda DoolittleElementary Ed.Pioneers International Annual Support $2,042 Email : greggdoolittle@hotmail.com Gregg and Rawda Doolittle are missionaries in Jerusalem West Bank operating two schools. They are looking forward to Thanksgiving under the new circumstances. 1Thessalonians 5:18 "Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus". We have had a few Covid-19 cases in our schools, but not any transmissions in the schools. We cannot attend church in person but we are grateful we can attend services via Zoom. ITEMS FOR PRAYER: There is still a high rate of new Covid-19 cases, so we continue to pray for our students to remain healthy for the rest of the school year. During the lockdown many of our parents were not able to pay school fees. Pray that the Lord would provide the necessary funds to cover this deficit

Mike and Sharon Keller in Utah Baptist Mid Missions 1816 W 761 S Vineyard UT 84659 Email: kellercbf@gmail.com Annual Support $1479 Mike and Sharon serve the Mormon community at Utah State University. In their most recent letter Sharon speaks of Rebecca a Mormon student she befriends and teaches of God's word. Rebecca like most students the first couple of times she passed their table didn't acknowledge the Kellers or the goodies on their table. Eventually she approached the table with a lot of questions. Sharon connected with Rebecca and the developed a relationship, so much so that when Rebecca left for her Mormon Mission trip of 18 months, she listed the Kellers on her list of family able to write her while she was gone. Upon return Rebecca met Sharon at their home and continued to ask questions and dug deeper into the Christian faith. Sharon says it will take time, like with all of the Mormon students, but she is very blessed by the relationship they have developed. MISSIONS SPOTLIGHT

They moved to Medina, Ohio to be closer to family and they are part of a church that has planted five other churches. Ken will be helping coach their church planters. They are trusting the Lord to be able to make overseas trips this year to help train national planters and pastors. Their focus is on the Peru but are willing to go anywhere in Latin America. |
