Together Again...

I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, AND AM CONVINCED THAT HE IS ABLE TO GUARD WHAT I HAVE ENTRUSTED TO HIM FOR THAT DAY. II TIMOTHY 1:12

Greetings to each of you!

We have a lot of news to share with you. Most of you know that we have been living in Missouri and Tim has been traveling the roads alone during this year of itineration. Last Friday was Joyce’s last day working at Gospel Publishing House; we are in the process of getting our house ready to rent and moving to Lansing, MI for the remainder of the time it will take to raise our budget to return to Tanzania. It is time for us to trust Him completely to supply all of our needs! It will also be nice for Joyce to be able to join Tim in his travels.

Please note our new address as of OCTOBER 1:
TIM & JOYCE JARVIS
116 S ROSEMARY
LANSING MI 48917
PHONE: 417-353-0555

We would like to ask each of you to prayerfully consider an idea that we believe God has given us to help raise our support. We have been given until the end of November to raise $2,000 in monthly support. To us, this seems like a huge mountain looming in front of us; but “we know whom we have believed, and are convinced that HE is able to guard what we have entrusted to HIM”. We have placed our lives and our future in God’s hands many times in the past and know that we can do it again with confidence. We ask you to believe together with us that God is going to bring in these finances!

We believe God has given us a plan...we call it the 200x10 Plan. The plan God has given us is to ask 200 churches/individuals to increase their pledge or make a first time monthly pledge of $10 a month; it’s really such a small amount.

We believe God will bless us for stepping out in faith to return to Tanzania; we are giving up all other means of income, renting our home, selling all of our furniture, and believing God to supply all of our needs. Real faith is when you don’t have catch nets below you but you step out on the wire anyway. He will also bless you for making the step of faith too; so step out on the wire with us and make a $10 pledge to our ministry. Together, we can see God glorified and lost souls saved in Tanzania.

Thank you and God bless you for your help. We pray for God’s blessings for each of you who journey with us.
