Thomas and Jennifer

Church Planters and Community Outreach 

Children: Ashlee and Tyler 

Thomas and Jennifer are grateful to have many opportunities to share the gospel in their current ministry and for 30 regular attendees at their park ministry in Xingang, an unreached town where they moved to plant a new church. Thomas preaches at the Xingang Presbyterian Church with a focus on young families that speak Mandarin. Thomas has opportunities to teach at a local university about American culture and life where he can include a section about Christianity with a clear gospel message. They hope that seekers at the Alpha course, which continues every other Saturday evening, and others to whom they have been sharing the gospel will have hearts softened to hear and respond to the good news. Evangelism continues to be their major focus. Praise the Lord that the Sanhe Gospel church in Zhongpu, started by Thomas and Jennifer, continues to grow and effectively share the gospel. 

Prayer Requests:

• Pray for the growth and witness of the Xingang Presbyterian Church in the rural area where there is much false religion. May Thomas and Jennifer be effective witnesses for Jesus. 
•  Pray for great impact for Jennifer’s newly published church planting manual for missionaries in their field. 
• Pray for Ashlee and Tyler as they adjust to living in a very rural area, and pray for wisdom, unity, and clarity for Thomas and Jennifer about the next steps in life and ministry.
