Tom & Michele: He Opens and No One Can Shut
Tom and Michele
He opens and no one can shut!
On October 7 our host government opened up an opportunity to apply for an exception in order to return to our Asian home again. We applied, but were denied yesterday, along with 41 other second home visa holders. Pray for God to open up this door in His timing.
We continue to spread God's word on line. This month our team is communicating with contacts using WhatsApp. This allows inquirers to privately message and ask more specific questions. Pray for Nate and Sean as they do outreach daily.
Mobilization Opportunities
We are currently working on two Business as Mission opportunities in East Asia.
One is similar to Perfectly Natural Herbs in the Philippines. Using principles of community transformation, we are checking into the possibility of starting a berry farm and processing facility in East Asia. This would be in conjunction with a business here in the USA. Pray for wisdom as we seek the right business model and the community that God has selected to reach. Let us know if you are interested to roll up your sleeves and be involved.In order to enter our home in East Asia, Zach and Ellie are considering a business opportunity in the petroleum industry. Pray for wisdom as we navigate the best opportunities to plant churches among these Muslim peoples.
Prayer Requests
Pray for teams to be mobilized to countries in East Asia from Mongolia to Indonesia.
Pray for opportunities to encourage and evangelize in the nine Bible studies we lead or attend weekly.
We have been blessed to spend extra time with our children and grandchildren. We also praise the Lord that Tom's mom, Blanche, is doing better and is joining in on a few social events weekly.
