Not a whole lot of particularly interesting news to put out right now.  We are thankful to those that are already supporting the work of HCJB Global and helping us meet those one-time and monthly needs.  Our presentation is now getting the final touches and we will soon be swinging into gear with scheduling meetings.  Obviously we will be doing these in hopes of finding new financial partners, but I’m finding that as I get more and more excited about the work that God has for us as we get into the field, that I want to share that with others.  I think when others catch the vision for how we see God working it fires me up all the more. 

One reason I think it can be hard to grasp the potential impact is how common place a church is in the United States.  Here in Tennessee, I don’t think that I can go much of anywhere without passing at least 1 church on the way.  In the 2.5 mile drive to work, I will pass 5 different churches.  The Nashville area has at least 5 Christian radio stations that I can think of.  But there are parts of the world where people live their entire lives not knowing anything about God, His love, and what was done to keep us from being forever separated from Him.  Radio station plants help proclaim the Gospel to these unreached people.  Shortwave radio helps those in closed areas hear the Good News and grow in their faith when other options just don’t exist.  This is what excites me about being involved with HCJB Global.  

And, while it probably won’t excite anybody reading this (except for Becky), our brochures and prayer cards arrived from the printer today.  We think they turned out quite well.  We’d love to share some of our materials as we meet with you.  All we ask is that our card be placed somewhere you’ll see it on a regular basis.  And when you do see it (and you know you’ll want to take a look at Samuel on a regular basis) remember us the next time you pray.  Our ministry depends on prayer.  Without God’s support and blessing, we toil in vain.

Okay… one last thing.  Thanks to those who have signed up for our email newsletter (which will start up soon) and our Facebook group.  If you are the Facebook type of person, search for our group (The Kings Go to Asia) and join.  We’d love to keep you updated.
