The Ethnos360 Connection Center has seen about a 30% increase in the number of applicants who have applied to train as career missionaries this year over last year. We also hit the 100 mark of young people signing up for short-term mission trips. Ethnos360 short-term trips earned the certificate of excellence after being assessed by an outside organization called Mission Excellence. You, your group or your church can learn more about the trips offered on the Ethnos360 website. https://ethnos360.org/short-term-trips
For the Associate program there are 14 new Associate Members joining the Ethnos360 team with ministry destinations being Papua New Guinea, West Brazil, the Philippines and the USA. Please pray for these folks as they raise support, attend the Pre-field Orientation in Florida, make their travel arrangements and say their goodbyes. It has been a pleasure to work with these individuals through the application process over this last year.
News from Papua New Guinea. Rick and Anji Zook, along with Mouk church elders, minister to the Lusi people of Papua New Guinea. “Rick is working with the team as they learn to write Bible lessons for 1 Corinthians. … Pray that God would encourage and sustain [Mouk Bible teachers and their families]” as they minister to the Lusi church. “Pray for the Lusi believers as they hear teaching on 1 Corinthians. Pray that they will learn what it means to relate to each other in love, building up each other. Pray that God would be preparing the guys he wants to be elders of the Lusi church.” Pray for unity.
Thank you for your prayers!
