Under the name, Saison Mission, John and Jan, continue to serve with Every Nation International and the Mobile Wellness Centers. Our heart to see the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20; Revelation 7:9) has not changed - that every language, nation, family, and people will be represented before the Throne of God at the end. We do this through campus ministry, church planting, and social responsibility (mercy ministry) initiatives in North America and beyond. Having directly served in the Pacific and Asia, North America, and Africa and having mobilized, trained, sent, and cared for cross-cultural missionaries across the globe, we will continue to offer our skills, experience, and wide network to expand the Kingdom of
God across the nations. New opportunities continue to open up to help network churches with new church planting efforts, train workers in contextual ministry, continue to reach the next generation on the campus, and bring health and healing to the needy in new nations with the Mobile Wellness Centers. The main challenges facing us is the need for workers for the harvest - those who will go as campus ministers, church-planters, and social action workers. Please pray that this new generation of Christ-followers will catch the vision to lay down their lives for the Gospel. Another challenge is for these new workers to be well trained to serve cross-culturally, not only in other nations, but even in North America with its influx of immigrants and diaspora peoples. We also have seen that so often the bottleneck for many of those being sent is finances. Please pray that God would pour out an abundanee of resources for these to serve unhindered. With all these challenges we are stepping up better ways to mobilize, train, and equip the next generation of missionaries and ministers. Please pray that we will be able to do this well. And, thank you all once again for your prayers and support toward the ministry that God has called us to in these exciting times!
