Asking God for big things

October 6, 2026 by Joel Potter

Will you join us in asking God to work in ways only He can do to meet these goals and answer these requests?

Eyes on the end of the year

Somehow it is already October! With just three months left of 2026, we find we are at that place again where we are evaluating how we will finish this year and begin the next. We want to celebrate all God has done and evaluate what is left to do. So, over the next three months we’ll do these things:

What we’ve been blessed to do

We will be sharing with you about all that God has allowed us to be a part of through our ministries with Ethnos360 in 2026. We hope you will join in celebrating these things with us!

What we’re still hoping for

We will share about what is left to be done in the remainder of the year. We hope you will join us in prayer for the provision to finish well.


Let’s start with what’s left to be done

One of the things we would love to see at the end of this year is for our finances to be in the black when the clock strikes midnight on December 31. Would you join us in praying that the Lord would raise up $8,000 in one-time gifts to cover our deficit?

We also would like to see more monthly financial partners join our team so that we can begin 2027 on stronger financial footing. Our goal is another $1,000 of committed, monthly financial partnerships.

Asia Pacific and an answered prayer

In just over a month, Joel and Bethany will be heading to “Asia Pacific” (where we once served many moons ago) to help with a conference attended by many of our Ethnos360 partner organizations. This meeting happens every four years and we were blessed to attend and serve at the last meeting in Thailand back in 2022. We’re conscious of how big a blessing it will be to be able to finally return and visit this special place, even if it’s all work.

Big News We’ve Prayed For!

Just a week after arriving home, with just enough time to get over the jet lag, Bethany is scheduled to have cervical spine surgery to fix some bad discs in her neck. Please pray for smooth sailing on this journey.


Can we ask a few things of you as we head into the end of this year?

  1. Will you join us in asking God to work in ways only He can do to meet these goals and answer these requests?
  2. Will you track with us over the next three months as we share regularly about how God is moving us toward these goals? We know you will be encouraged alongside us by how God provides for our family and ministry as we look to Him!
  3. Will you consider if God might want to use you?

If you want to give a one-time gift, start regular monthly giving, or share the link with others you believe may want to join our team, you can use the link below.
