Hello Family & Friends!
I can’t believe it is already March! Where is the year going, already? With a new year has come new volunteers, new volunteer jobs, new ideas, and new plans… For someone who likes consistency, that is a lot of “new.” :~)
Speaking of new plans…. I am planning a partnership development trip around the end of April through mid-May, the purpose of which is to locate new partners who will provide the remaining 30% of my monthly support. I would appreciate your prayers regarding where I should travel for this trip and that the last 30% of my monthly support would be raised quickly. If you have friends that would be interested in supporting my ministry with Wycliffe Associates (WA), would like to host a home group one evening, or would like me to speak at your church, please contact me via email at Paula_Oestreich@WycliffeAssociates.org. The sooner I can raise this last 30%, the sooner I can commit my attention full time to the ministry of serving Bible Translation.
The second area of prayer I would ask you to pray for is direction for international travel. Last year I spent 3 months in Cameroon while the volunteer Program Manager was on furlough, and there are needs like that all over the world. There either isn’t a Volunteer Coordinator in that location or they need someone to fill for a short time. Please pray that the Lord would clearly guide the decision to go and to the specific location He would have me to fill in.
The third prayer request I have is for my vacation. I am headed to The Broom Tree Refuge for a week. It is a cabin in the woods in Arkansas set up for people in full time ministry to take a break and be refreshed. I leave Sun (3/4) and return the following Sat (3/10). Please pray that I would have a relaxing and rejuvenating break, and also quality time with the Lord in the Word and prayer. I will specifically be praying about the two aforementioned requests…
We praise the Lord for a good volunteer season.
*Every season we are identifying more areas that volunteers can serve, thus accelerating Bible Translation (in Dallas and around the world).
*No serious accidents or injuries.
*New volunteers catching the vision of spreading God’s Word.
Thank you all for your continued prayer and financial support. I cannot do this ministry without each of you!
