July 2016 update - Byers on Home Assignment


Dear Friends and Church Partners,

Just a quick update for you…

Deputation update:

It’s been a constant packing, unpacking and repacking of suitcases the last few months. We had a blast with family in California in May and we were able to speak at 3 different churches and meet with several of our CA supporters. In early June we went to Texas for orientation (more below) and now we are back in Utah and continue to share at churches and connect with our supporters.

Support level:
We are currently at 52% of our needed pledged support to return to Thailand. Praise the Lord! Please pray that the remaining 48% comes in quickly. We need one-time gifts and we really need monthly partners. Our goal departure date is September, only 2 months from now!

We need you!:
For our financial and prayer partners…our story is your story…it’s only together that we can reach the Isaan. We would love to speak at your church, Bible study, or small group. 

Commission to Every Nation (CTEN):
We just returned from our 3 day orientation with Commission to Every Nation (CTEN) in Texas and we
were so thrilled by their pastoral care, their finance & publications departments, and how they keep things SIMPLE! There were 24 missionaries at the orientation and heading all over the world. One couple is also heading to Chiang Mai. It was an encouraging time!

Family update
Isobel turned 1 on June 11th. Hard to believe a year ago we were in Chiang Mai having her! She has been a precious gift to our whole family.

Prayer for the Isaan/our future team
Please continue to lift up the Isaan in
your prayers, specifically those living
in Kalasin Province. That our good Father would be preparing their hearts for His message of reconciliation and forgiveness.

Please also pray for the future of the FCF team in Kalasin. That He would show our team clearly how we are to pursue the people of Kalasin.

Thank you for your continued prayers and partnership in the gospel.


Blessings,

-Jason & Jenn
