Ministry Update - Randy Friesen |

|
I am writing this brief update on my way to regional Celebration
Missions Nights that MBMS International is hosting in Manitoba. These
will be the 15th and 16th regional Celebration Missions Nights we have
hosted across North America this past year! These events have brought
together the Church from many communities to hear stories from the
frontlines, to worship, to pray and to give. Our theme this past year
has focused on the amazing way God is reaching North Africans through
media and discipleship.
Our family enjoyed some time over Christmas with my brother Matt's
family in Argentina. Matt works at the Canadian Embassy in Argentina
and has served on many short-term mission assignments with us during his
university years, including one to North Africa. During that trip I was
able to meet with the leaders of our Uruguayan MB churches to provide a
global mission update and discuss their interest in sending a long-term
missionary to join our future team to North Africa.
Marjorie has accepted a part-time teaching position as a voice
instructor at Colombia Bible College this semester. This is an answer
to our prayers!
The coming months include a number
of mission conferences and opportunities to resource our global family
in mission. This year I have committed to take a day a month to pray
and plan at a retreat center. Please pray for spiritual refreshment
during my monthly days of prayer, for protection as I travel and for
God's anointing and guidance as I spend time with His Church in mission.
