We are on a road together to see India come to Jesus.......
Thank you to our partners!
Paul spoke in Philippians 1, under the inspiration of God to the Macedonian Church, thanking them for their partnership. I want to take time in this letter to express my thankfulness for your generosity. It means more than financial support but your support is an affirmation that God has called us to bless India in this generation.
I am not able to see the times that you have sacrificially given to support The Erwin Family Ministries when there were many other bills that needed to be paid but God has seen your sacrifice.
The goal of Serve India Ministries is to help reach India in this generation. Together we are co-laboring with Jesus in reaching this generation. As Jesus said in John 4: 35-36, to pray for laborers and we are seeing the greatest harvest of souls unfold in India today.
I pray that in our hectic schedules, that we take time and think about God's message of the Gospel traveling to over 10,000 villages and multitudes of precious people hearing about Jesus for the first time.
India is enormous but not too big for our God. The God who created the heavens and earth wants to redeem the 1.2 billion souls in India and save them for eternity.
Together we are co-laboring with Jesus; the Lord of the Harvest. Don't grow wearing in well doing, your partnership with this ministry is making a wonderful difference in the lives of the unreached of India.
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
Garden News
Janey and Benjamin recently made the local newspaper. We had some kale and lettuce and beets from our garden and decided to sell some of our vegetables at the local farmers market. We actually sold all that we had. Having a garden is another benefit we have since we have moved to Arkansas. One problem here in this part of Arkansas is your first bumper crop will be rocks. That isn't a problem though because we use the rocks to fill the holes in our driveway.
Update from Jane,
Happy 4th of July everyone! We really enjoyed the 4th this year. We had my parents and my brother and his wife and Mike's mom here for burgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings, and of course fireworks!! They came with extra fireworks to add to ours making this a year to remember for Ben. You see ever since we had Ben we have lived in places that was illegal to set off your own fireworks, so this year Ben had the perfect place to let them fly: and boy did he! I know he slept well last night. We are loving being here and the enjoying our home tremendously. Thank you all for helping to make this happen. We love you all. Jane
It is Time for our Egg Project Campaign - 3000 Children $108k
Your Partnership will Touch the Least of These!
(280 sponsored so far)
Our family will be traveling 3 different times this summer with the hopes of raising the support necessary to fund over 60 new egg projects that are being started right now. By this fall they will need to be funded. We will be talking to our regular partners as well as speaking at churches sharing the vision of "The Egg Project."
Please join us in prayer for favor and faith that we will see God's glorious provision for these precious children.
We will be traveling to Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and back to Arkansas. The 2nd tour will be from Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky. The 3rd tour will be traveling out west to Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona. I plan on Janey and Benjamin traveling with me for all three of these tours. I will be much more effective is they are traveling with me and we will by faith see God save 3000 children and their families who come to Christ as we co-labor with Him. Meanwhile you can go to
www.theeggproject.com and learn more.
Your support of our ministry helps us to be an advocate for the 480 million children of India of which 97% have not heard the Gospel.
Partnership Update
Thank you for Investing in the Vision for 100,000 villages!
The Lord has greatly blessed our partners recently who have given most of our needed reserve. We have been able to have our full support met during the past 2 months with enough for full support through October. As the Lord enables you, would you partner with us by supporting us monthly or a one-time gift for our ministry reserve. If we can raise an additional $500 per month by the end of the year, we will be within sight of our eventual goal.
Please give as the Lord enables you and directs you, we will be very honored to have you as a new partner and we are very honored to have our current partners.
Thank you for all of our friends who have increased their monthly support and everyone that faithfully gives even when your own personal finances are tight.
Thank you for reading our letter, I pray that God gives you grace and wisdom for each ministry support request you receive. We understand that there are many worthy causes to support, we are excited to see how God works in our ministry and how he provides. "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19 "
