April-May 2010

Dear Friends,

          When a missionary starts his career he has dreams.  He dreams of people being saved, churches being planted, and training men for the ministry.  These dreams keep him going over the years.  They give him direction in ministry and a way to evaluate successes and failures.  Eventually, Lord willing and the missionary being faithful, these dreams start to become reality.
          For us, we have seen many saved and churches planted.  We have seen men going from our works into ministry and this continues to fuel new dreams.  This fall we will be ordaining two more men into ministry from Temple.  It never ceases to amaze me at how God works.
          Beyond this, we now have Kevin and Sarah Pine working along with us as TEAM missionaries.  This type of training is new for us and a fresh challenge.  Further, God has called out youngest son, TJ and his wife, Kimberly, to Spain and they too are planning to do their training here on the field with us as TEAM missionaries and were apporved by the BBFI this May.  Now that is beyond my wildest dreams!  God has called my son and given me the opportunity to have a real part in his training.
          None of these dreams would have been possible without your faithful financial and prayer support.  Thank you so very much.  Only eternity will reveal what all God has accomplished by our working together in this great cause of missions.

Yours for England,
Tom and Gail Gritts
