Dear Friends,
We are busy calling churches in the Southern Missouri, Iowa, and Kansas districts; we try to keep a regular schedule each day to make these contacts with churches, pastors, and Mission's Directors.
We had three services here in Missouri this past week, one on Wednesday evening and two yesterday (Sunday); we are enjoying getting to know churches in the Southern Missouri District.
Please continue to pray for us as we work to finish raising our funds as quickly as possible; we know that God is with us as we continue to be obedient to His call.

Back to MIssouri - January 14, 2008
Friends,
We have relocated to Missouri after spending the past four months living in Michigan with friends and family. We want to say "thank you" to our friends, Joe and Janis Mason; most of our time in Michigan was spent living with them. Also, to Wayne and Connie in Muskegon and Gary and Lori in Blissfield; thanks for opening up your homes to us.
We will be staying for the rest of our time stateside in a furnished apartment on the south side of Springfield, MO. Our cell phone numbers have not changed and our new address will be:
c/o Shirley Moore - 798 Peiter Rd - Marionville MO 65705. This is my sister's address and she will be handling all of our business for us while we are gone so this will be our stateside address even when we go back to Mwanza, Tanzania. We are only going to be in the apartment for 2-3 months so we won't even give that address out.
We have figured up our monthly pledge support and we are currently at 65%; please continue to pray for the remainder of our funds to come in quickly.
Blessings to all of you,
Tim and Joyce

Month in Review
Friends,
The month of December has flown by and we find ourselves in January of 2008. We have traveled literally several thousand miles in the past month since we last updated our journal. We have been to North Carolina twice, Florida, Iowa, and back and forth between Missouri and Michigan several times. We often don't have a strong enough signal to update our journal but we appreciate all of you who check our website and keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
We have been blessed by many of you during the Christmas season and we thank you for your gifts to us. We have had services throughout the states mentioned above and we are slowly building our monthly pledge support. We hope to have everything raised by the end of March; please continue to pray.
We were able to spend the weekend before Christmas with our oldest daughter, Jenn, in Iowa; Sarah was able to accompany us for that trip and the four of us had a wonderful time together.
We were also able to be with both sides of our family for the week of Christmas for what should be our last Christmas in the states for a few years. It was good to be with loved ones and celebrate Christmas with them all one more time.
Urgent Prayer Request:
Please pray for the country of Kenya; it has been in great turmoil since the elections a few weeks ago. The two candidates were from different tribes; Kibaki is Kikuyu while Odinga is Luo; Kibaki won the election by a very slim margin and there seems to be evidence of ballot rigging. Several hundred people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have fled the country as ethnic-based rioting continues to occur across the country. Hundreds of businesses, homes and churches have been distroyed; food and fuel are in short supply and when available are at extremely inflated costs.
We have dozens of A/G missionaries in Kenya; they are all staying in Kenya for now and attempting to help the national church assist the victims of the riots with food and shelter.
I will try to update again in just a few days!
Blessings!
