Financial Status Reports

We have uploaded a Financial Status Report to your SecureCloud account. This is meant to show you the financial details that we have on file, such as your support estimate and the average amount of support you received this past quarter. This is information we provide to pastors who may call about your ministry. We ask that you update your support estimate once every four years or as your lives and ministries change. Please review this information and contact us if you have any questions or changes.

January Income Totals

During a typical month, we close the books on the 25th, and any checks received after that date are posted to the following month. Due to receipting requirements, we cannot do this in the month of December. As a result, please be aware that your December support total may be higher than normal, while your January support total may be lower than normal. Please be sure to plan ahead for this!

New Missionary Families

Wesley and Kayla Grant have been added to our missions family. The Grants are sent out of Morning Star Independent Baptist Church of Easley, SC, with Pastor David Ellenburg. Bro. Grant currently works in the medical field and is a student at Tabernacle Baptist Bible College in Greenville, SC. Their desire is to plant churches in Northwestern Montana. Please pray for them as they begin deputation.

Ayser and Fatan Mazahreh have joined our missions family. Bro. Mazahreh is currently pastoring the Faith Independent Baptist Church of Amman, Jordan, and works alongside Bro. Ghassan Haddad and Bro. Daab in the Biblical Theological Seminary as well. They have three sons and a daughter: Rae’d (23), Mario (20), Leen (17) and Matthew (9). Please pray for this family and the ministry in Jordan.
