FAMILY UPDATE

Our kiddos having been having a blast this summer. They’ve reached a place where they can happily play together (mostly 😊). 


This summer we’ve done a dozen library trips, a little bit of gardening and Luke has been learning programming (Java & Python) with a kid’s online program. 


Sara is going to finish up her summer of updating churches about our missions work beginning of August and we’ll have a couple months altogether before Tim leaves for the Mandarin launch! 

MULTIPICATION!

Tim & Sara at The Great Wall in 2010

Back in 2011, we had the incredible honor of equipping a massive house church movement of 30,000 churches with a youth group curriculum. That moment lit a fire in our hearts—and we’ve been working with this house church movement ever since and for the last nine years, we've carried a deep, unwavering dream: to launch Bible schools in Mandarin for these precious believers.

It hasn’t just been a goal. It’s been a calling, a heart cry, a life mission. And now—it’s finally happening!


This October, Tim will be flying to an undisclosed country to help launch the first 30 Bible schools in Mandarin, spreading across four different persecuted nations! This isn’t the end of a journey—it’s the beginning of a movement. A rocket launch. And like any launch, it will happen in stages.


Some schools may start with 10 students, others with 20, but each student will be equipped to launch a school of their own. If we start conservatively—10 students per school across 30 schools—that’s 300 students trained in the first wave.


Next, once those 300 graduate, each will launch a new school. That’s 3,000 trained leaders in just a few short years.

Continue the multiplication, and within 6 years, we could see Bible schools in all 30,000 churches at the associate level—and by year 12, bachelor-level training spread across the entire movement. We know there will be variation—but the direction is clear, and the vision is awe-inspiring.


To those of you who have prayed, given, and encouraged us over the years—this moment is your fruit! This is your harvest! Tears were shed writing this, because we truly couldn't do it without you.


By God’s grace, Tim’s ticket is purchased and his travel expenses are covered. But to set these first 30 schools up for long-term success, we still need to raise $3,000 for essential equipment—flash drives, sound bars, screens or projectors and printed materials. These first schools will set the standard for the rest to follow.


We're also continuing to raise monthly support. We're currently $850 short of our monthly goal and would be honored if you’d consider standing with us.


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 

Blessings,

Tim & Sara
