APPROVED: Eagle TV Mongolia gets a heart transplant!
|
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Good news!
Last week you prayed and agreed to help Eagle TV in Mongolia get a "heart transplant". Earlier today I received a call that your gift was approved by the Foursquare Board and the money is in the pipeline. Praise God!
Two years ago you gave $100,000.00 to Foursquare Missions Press to help them purchase the new press they so desperately needed. Your gift helped them purchase it and it's now printing and sending Gospel literature to over 110 countries in 52 different languages. Amazing!
 Now you've chosen to give Eagle TV $20,000.00 to purchase the key equipment they need to continue broadcasting the Good News of Jesus Christ to the entire nation of Mongolia.
On your behalf, key people came along side of you, stood up for your request, and made it a reality. I've personally thanked our District Supervisor, Dave Veach, and Sterling Brackett, COO and Secretary-Treasurer of Foursquare International. (Both were accessible, gave wise counsel, and Sterling represented you at the Board meeting.) Tomorrow I'll be thanking the others who helped as well.
What you did was provide the funds to purchase a new "Master Switcher", the very heart of the station. Soon it will be on its way to Mongolia.
I called Steve Posey, Executive Director of AMONG Foundation, to tell him the money would be wired shortly. I wish you could have been on the phone with me to hear his delight and excitement, knowing that the "impossible" was, once again, possible.
 A few hours later, around 6:30AM Mongolia time, I called our friend, Tom Terry, President of Eagle TV, to give him the good news. Tom was as excited as I have ever heard him.
But here's what you don' know...
Tom called me a few days ago and told me another church called and wanted to give $20,000.00, but it would be a couple of weeks before they made their official decision. He was telling me this in case we wanted to rescind our offer. I told him absolutely not. I knew they needed $60,000.00+ to get all the equipment they desperately needed so our $20,000.00 was solid. It appears the gift from the other church will be a reality!
And, on top of that, another organization has stepped up and may give an additional $20,000.00! Let's keep praying...
On November 6th, AMONG Foundation will be celebrating its 20th anniversary. Just a few days ago they had no idea how they were going to fund this emergency, let alone get the funds needed to purchase the other equipment. Now, because of you, and those who stood behind this gift, AMONG can celebrate their anniversary with joy, and hopefully inspire many, many others to give generously to the ongoing work in Mongolia.
I remember when you made the decision to give the $100,000.00. The next Sunday a brother asked, "What will God ask us to do next week?" Well... it's been a bit more than a week, but now you've breathed life into Eagle TV. What is God going to ask us to do next? Stay tuned...
Sandy and I are very proud of all of you. May God give you the desires of your hearts.
Love,
Pastor Chris and Sandy
