Dear friends,

We have prayed and worked throughout the past year to return to CTS in time for Fall semester...and in the end it did not happen.  Classes began in late September without us.  While this is very disappointing for us, and challenging for the staff at the Seminary who are struggling to cover our responsibilities without us, we are trusting that God's timing is perfect.  Our calling to the ministry of CTS - training church planters and pastors for Europe - is not diminished and we are trusting God that we will return in His time.  We remain significantly short in cash and monthly commitments in order to fulfill our needed budget.  If you are able to make a onetime gift or monthly commitment please find all the details here:  s1.ag.org/johnsen 

 

• Pray - Please join us in prayer that God will speak to the hearts of church leaders and individuals to partner with us financially on a monthly basis.
• Find more sharing opportunities - While we have a full October schedule - we now are scheduling services and meetings for November through January. 
  • Contact me - If we have not yet connected with you - please contact me to set up a service or coffee/lunch meeting in the coming weeks.  (253)304-2345
  • Share - Please share our emails and our ministry with people and churches you are a part of.  One of the great things about itinerating is expanding our network and meeting new friends.
• Follow Up - I will continue in the coming days to contact each person and church we have visited this past year to ask for their financial partnership. I appreciate your prayers during this process.

Thank you so much for your friendship and support throughout this itineration process.  We must be honest and say that it often a difficult and tentative existence - but we see God at work in the process and trust the One who has called us.

 

Believing for Europe!

Classes began at CTS on September 23rd.  Enrollment remains strong with about 100 students in all BA and MTh programs. We are anxious to get back and resume our responsibilities.  Thank you for your prayers and support!
