Ervins in Africa: Tickets Cost Less than Anticipated

Just a few days ago our travel agent told us that the airfare will be about $2,000 cheaper than expected! What an enormous praise to our Lord for providing in that way.

Partnering with us!

We would like to thank you for considering partnering with us in our upcoming missions ministry to Uganda. We would love the opportunity to share with you and your church our passion, vision, and goals. We will be going as short-term missionaries to Uganda, Africa in late December and we will arrive back in the States at the end of May. We will be working with New Hope Uganda and attending the New Hope Institute of Childcare and Family. This will include many things, but particularly ministering to orphans on the compound. We will be assigned to a family of 8-10 orphans in order to provide accountability in their school work, share the gospel, disciple younger believers and give assistance in completing household chores. New Hope is in the process of developing a pastoral training program in order to provide theological and practical training to village pastors; we will also provide help in getting that started. If you feel that the Lord is leading you to partner with us, whether through finances or prayer, please contact us. We would love to keep you updated on what is going on as we follow the path God has laid out for us.

We are praying that:

· God will prepare our hearts for this ministry

· God will give us vision for future ministry

· The Lord allow us to lead orphans to Christ

· Our vision for a biblical family will mature

· God will provide people who will covenant to partner with us in this ministry

· God will provide for our financial needs (total cost of our trip will be around $10,000)

· God will grant us grace in adjusting to a foreign culture and very different living conditions

Recommendation from Pastor Scott Bandy of Twin City Bible Church:

‘It is my privilege to recommend to you, Michael and Rachel Ervin as short term missionaries to Uganda. I have known the Ervins for many years and have seen them grow in their faith and knowledge of Christ. They have shown a tremendous love for Christ and for others. They have been very active in our church (Twin City Bible Church) in various aspects of the ministry, such as Michael preaching and teaching and Rachel in music. I have taken both on foreign mission trips and watched them interact with those from other countries and have seen fruit from their labors. This endeavor to work in Uganda for six months is an incredible opportunity for Michael and Rachel to share the gospel with others, encourage others who are serving full time on the mission field and prepare them for their next step as they seek God's will for their lives. Please consider supporting these two in prayer and if possible, financially. I truly believe they are worthy of both. May God bless and keep you in the center of His will’.

For the sake of the Gospel,

Michael and Rachel Ervin
