FALL 2009

Greetings from Wisconsin!
Yes, we are on Home Assignment. It has been great to be back in North America. We are really enjoying being with our children and our four precious grandchildren. What fun they are!
On September 13 we will begin our tour ministries. Please pray for us. Pray that God will be glorified as we share the story about what He is doing in Mongolia. Dennis will be touring in Ohio, Kentucky and North Carolina from September 13 until November 15. Marilyn’s tour ministry will be in eastern Wisconsin from September 13 until November 8. We will have a break together from October 12 to 19. Following our regular tour ministry, we will be ministering in our partner churches in Evanston, WY (Nov. 17-22) and Los Alamos, NM (Dec. 3-6).

Our Family

Jonathan and Rachael, Eva and Marah are still in Santa Rosa, CA. Jonathan is now on staff at the Alliance Redwoods Conference Center, with the position of Sales and Marketing/Staff Ministries. Praise the Lord for His provision. He is really enjoying being a part of the ministry team at Alliance Redwoods. Rachael continues to do some work as a teachers’ consultant. It has been great to be with them and enjoy Eva (3 yrs) and Marah (1 yr). They also now have a puppy, Riley. Pray for Jonathan as he continues to learn his new job, and for God’s wisdom for Jon and Rach as they parent their girls.

Trevor and JoAnna, Silas and Katherine are in St. Paul, MN. Trevor began his 4th year at the Forest Lake school district teaching HS social studies. Praise the Lord he is now tenure. JoAnna continues to work at the UMMC hospital every other weekend. We are thankful that we are able to enjoy time with Silas, now 2 ½ and Katherine who will be 1 at the end of this month. Pray for Trevor and JoAnna as they parent their little ones for His glory, and that they will be used by the Lord in the places where they work.

Joy continues in her ministry at International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO. This month began a new schedule. Also, in addition to the team that she is singing in, she will begin leading a team. At the end of August she went for a mission trip to Haiti. Praise the Lord for the ministry they had there. Pray that God will use her and the others in her ministry teams. Pray that God will provide all she needs in every area of her life.

Pray for Dennis and Marilyn, that we will continue to grow in our walk with the Lord. Pray for strength and good health for us. Pray that we will have good times of rest during this Home Assignment. Pray for special family memories. Pray for God’s healing touch on Dennis’ eye. He is having regular treatments to shrink the blood vessels that have grown over his eye.

Our Team

Continue to pray for our team in Mongolia, that God will continue to work in and through them as they minister in Mongolia. Pray for Pieter Theron who was elected to be the Field Director for this year we are on Home Assignment. Also, pray for Pieter who will continue with his ministry in our leadership training program. The beginning of September our leadership training program began with 16 students in Christian Leadership and 20 students in Contextual Ministry course.

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—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
