Thank you is not big enough for The Bolick Foundation’s support of our Missionary Orientation Training last month. Each session I am amazed by the goodness of God in the candidates who attend… their ministries, their plans, and the communities where they will be sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
It was an incredible, inspiring week that your past support has helped to make possible. During that week, Global Outreach International commissioned 13 missionaries to work in seven countries in partnership with their local churches. These countries include Malawi, Eswatini, Uganda, Kenya, Thailand, Romania, and Asia (Restricted Access). Eight of the thirteen candidates attended in person; five of the candidates joined via zoom due to visa issues. This was the first time that we had conducted MOT in such a fashion because the visa issues were quite a challenge and did not look to be resolved in the near future. We heard testimony after testimony of incredible redemption and deep missional calling. It was both humbling and inspiring. I have attached a class photo, as well as a video from one of the couples expressing why their experience presenting their ministry to a church for the first time was so helpful. My hope is that it will help you to understand the full extent of how critical these training weeks are for our candidates.
Seeing so many national missionaries being commissioned back to their home countries was also a great encouragement. Tobias and his family are Romanians being sent to do youth ministry in their hometown. Ronnie and Stella are Ugandans ministering to the islands on Lake Victoria in Uganda. This used to be rare, but now, these are just a few of the many national missionaries rising up to fulfill the Great Commission in their home countries. Praise God!
So, thank you. The Bolick Foundation’s generous support fuels this Gospel fire that is spreading all over the world. As long as the Lord wills, we plan on sending and caring for hundreds more missionaries. Thus, we appreciate your partnership.
Global Outreach is a faithful partner of The Bolick Foundation.
