God’s faithfulness and the generosity of His people toward this ministry through almost three decades never ceases to amaze us! Even though we’ve had a few thin years when even our salary was temporarily suspended, God has never failed to provide what was needed, and as always in His perfect timing.

We praise Him for His great faithfulness!

In 2025, we’ve seen God call more of our long-time ministry partners home to their final reward, and we rejoice for them. We’ve also seen others of our long-time partners generously increase their monthly support, which along with our voluntary salary reduction, has put us as close to meeting 100% of our monthly need as I can remember ever being. And furthermore, we expect to end the year in the black for the first time in recent memory. To God be the glory! And, thank you faithful partners!

Special extra-budgetary needs moving toward 2026:

• Special Year-End gifts to close the monthly budgetary gap in 2026 - ($9,000)

• Special outreach projects with two Balkan Unreached People Groups in 2026 - ($3,000 ea.)

• Ukraine Trauma Healing Project for 2026 - ($15,000*)

• My increased travel in 2026 due to increased leadership responsibilities - ($5K/TBD)

• Ongoing projects in Voronezh, Russia, (Hope House for Down Syndrome, orphan outreaches, and camps) - ($5,400)

  (These Russia projects are no longer funded through our East-West ministry accounts, but we are able to continue some regular support through appropriate channels without violating s@nctions during these troubling times. Pray with us for an end to this war very soon, and that we might travel once again to visit our dear co-laborers in Russia. As for me, I am not only praying for peace, but also that Ukraine’s sovereignty might be upheld. If you want to be part of what we are still supporting in Russia, please reach out to us offline.)

* Please let me know if you’re interested in giving specifically to the Ukraine Trauma Healing project for 2026. I can provide more detail about the need. We are bringing Pastors, key leaders, and their families to the Carpathian mountains away from the war zones for this trauma healing project, so the $15K is only a baseline budget.

Please continue to pray with us for the resources this ministry needs, and worship Him with us for the incredible ways He always provides all we need when we need it for Kingdom’s sake! If you feel God leading you to be part of His provision for this work, you can click this “Giving” link or the one at the top and bottom of this page to be taken to our donation page.

Pray also with us for faithfulness and wisdom in stewarding well the resources He is providing as we serve Him day-by-day.
