This little ministry of FaithQuest is just a small part of what God is doing all over the world, but wowzers, it just keeps growing and growing! God continues to make Himself known to us in big ways and we are amazed and so thankful! We could not let the year end without thanking you for the role you have had in standing with us in encouragement, prayer, financial support, volunteering, and supporting or joining us in this year’s outreach and vision trips. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
God has used you for mobilizing people and their churches to put their faith into action in a wide number of ways in more than 50 churches in the USA as well as in Malawi, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, India, Cambodia, and El Salvador. Y-Africa/Y-Malawi is growing and spreading as we are close to finishing the sponsorship of more than 6,000 children in Malawi and working on the replication of the model in Uganda and Ethiopia.
One of our Y-Malawi partners that you help provide the majority of the support for, helped 34,000 people come to Christ in 2011. Another now has more than 2,000 Chiefs and their wives in weekly bible studies in our focus area of Nkhoma. Incredible! More than 125 people took a leap of faith in 2011 and joined one of our many trips. This led to a great many people putting their faith into action and an explosion of real passion that is creating excitement and action in churches here and overseas. We invite you to join us on a faith adventure in 2012!
Of course we are planting seeds towards a big harvest in the year to come. On January 8, 46 women will leave with Lori Gash & Cathey Anderson for the Freedom Climb event in Africa for the fight against Sex and Human Trafficking that so many of you have supported. Johno will be with teams in Haiti, Honduras, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Peru in the first 6 months of the year.
We pray you will continue to stand with us and even grow your involvement, trusting God together in big ways! We are more certain than ever that He is in this, blessing everyone responding to His call to faith and action! Year-end gifts posted online or mailed for 2011 and received in a timely fashion will be receipted for 2011, and will provide us the needed launch fuel for the next year.
2012 gifts sent monthly are uber-helpful for our planning, and periodic gifts as God leads seem to save the day every month too! It’s a faith adventure…woohoo!…and all part of the “faith quest” He has us on. BIG THANKS again to you, our faithful team! What is happening here would not be happening without you! You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we know in God’s hands.
With wild joy and appreciation,
Johno & Lori
