Prayer Letter/Ministry Update
Dear Family and Friends,
We pray that you have all had a great start to the new year! We'd like to ask you to intercede on behalf of our family and our team with the following requests:
Health~ our family has fought off several illnesses since the beginning of December and especially Sarah has been left feeling rather exhausted physically. Please pray for health and renewed strength.
Sarah will be leading two womens' Bible studies this week. Pray that women will come and that God's word would not return void.
We have received another letter regarding the former BIC facilities. Please pray that this matter would be taken care of quickly and easily, and that the mission would not have to pay the extra funds that the rental company is requesting.
We are thrilled that our new teammates, Melanie & Jose Chinchilla arrived safely last week! Please pray for their transition to Berlin, especially as they set up their new home and take care of all the details involved in moving to a German city.
In July our team will be welcoming another new family, Mike & Elissa Picconatto and their children, Johanna, Caleb & Joshua. As they prepare for the July move, there are many details that need to be worked out ahead of time: acceptance of all 3 children at an English speaking school here in Berlin; the sale of their house; speaking engagements at other churches; and their ability to finish well at their current church.
Our teammates, Ben & Sarah Carey (with Travis, Hannah & Emma) are still on home assignment in Toledo, OH. On January 19th Ben will leave for 7 weeks of speaking engagements in churches in the South Pacific District. Please pray for their family as they are separated throughout that time.
When the Careys return to the field in June, they will be moving to a new city in NE Germany (Waren). They will begin a work among the contacts our team has established through English Camps, mostly young adults and teens. Please pray as they prepare even now for this new ministry.
Continue to pray for Summer Hartzler, our teammate who is currently in language study. German is a difficult language and she needs lots of encouragement!
Pray for Hoiling and John Chan as they lead that Chinese Alliance Church here in Berlin. They are currently searching for a new meeting place, which can be a real challenge. Pray that God shows them very specifically where he wants the group to meet.
Sarah is still trying to find a woman to lead the Feinkost cooking evening at the end of January. Pray that this would come together very soon.
Please continue to pray for Natalie Jones who is working at Kita Coloured World (the Christian preschool that our team helped to start) and Karissa Wallace who hopes to come as an apprentice very soon.
In His Grip,
Don, Sarah, Dane and Jenna Jones

Pray.
The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—in our denomination, in our churches, and in our individual lives.
Give.
You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This central funding vehicle allows our international workers to focus on ministry rather than raising financial support.
Serve.
Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to participate in a short-term missions trip and experience missions work firsthand? We’re here to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
