The year 2010 has been momentous, to say the least! Moving the office to Idaho, more travel in the past year than ever, a new missionary in Asia, a new US church plant, a wedding in Cambodia; the list just keeps going. And all of this while the economy has wreaked havoc around the country and the world. We are thankful for the funds the Lord has provided for us, for our faithful donors, and for the Lord’s goodness in all.

As we look forward to the year ahead, it’s going to be another busy one. The fields overseas are expanding, especially in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Bolivia. The new mission church in Idaho is already taking aim at becoming a particular church in the BPC. Team Timothy ministries will visit Cambodia and Canada for the first time in each country. In short, there are huge opportunities for spreading the gospel light of the Lord Jesus Christ through our various fields of mission. Will you help us? The General Fund, which is so necessary for the functioning of our administrative staff and office, is desperately in need of additional supporters because it is nearly depleted, and existing regular donations are insufficient to meet the 2011 budget.  Our new field partner, Miss Sarah Miller, needs $3,000 to cover her insurance and retirement account budget for 2011. Rev. and Mrs. Mark Baldwin need additional support to cover the costs of keeping a couple on the field. Revs. Kima and Quisbert are still not funded 100%. The Pines in Idaho are tapping into the church planting fund, and Mrs. Pine is now PMU’s full-time Office Manager, with a requisite increase in her compensation (out of the General Fund). We are trusting in our Lord to provide what is needed through His people.

On the back page of this month’s Banner you’ll find a form with all of our support opportunities laid out for you. Will you be a part of the ministry of PMU this coming year with your prayers and financial gifts? May God richly bless you as you do so. Have a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year!
