A Happy Thanksgiving Note, a little early. | CIM Missions Update Fall 2016

Blessings to you, dear friend!

In a season where we are infiltrated with being busy, doing more, needing more... We have been able to take a weekend away together, just the two of us, and celebrate our 8 years of Marriage! We went to Two Harbors, MN, where we were married on the shore of Lake Superior in September of 2008. We praise our God for His goodness and richness in our lives! What a blessing it has been to retreat and rejuvenate our hearts. Thank you to all of you who have been standing with us solidly in this Native American ministry. It isn't easy, that's for sure! We have a hard time communicating with our fellow missionaries, we find it difficult to find the right ways to grow deeper with the Mokahum students, and we struggle with the systems that our friends are facing each day, cycling through poverty and "deserving things" generation by generation. But you know what? It's beautiful. Because God has called us to this place where we are building up the CHURCH among Native Americans. Little seeds, big waters, it is growing the church each day. Thank YOU for your gifts to us. 

Happy Thanksgiving, 

Tim, Amy, and the kids

I know it's not the end of November yet, but I'm entering into this beautiful season of giving thanks to our God and King for His marvelous gifts for us all. I'm not ashamed to be thankful now, too :)
