2020 Vision
Are you tired of the “vision” puns yet?
(I’m sure this year will be full of them.)
We do pray you had a blessed Christmas and New Year season, remembering
the reason we celebrate and giving Him all the praise and glory!
As we look forward into this coming year,
we are excited to see all that God is doing.
Here’s a look at what we anticipate:
February 3 Sparky and Myndii leave Idaho
4 Land
in Paris and meet up with Mike Webster
Arrive
in Kinshasa
5-24 Minister in the DRC
24 Leave
Congo
25 Arrive
back in Idaho
May Report
to some of our supporting churches
25 Martha
returns from Cornerstone Choir tour
August
Trip to DRC (prayerfully,
the whole family)
February DRC Trip
We are so excited that Mike Webster will be joining us this time! As an added bonus (being a missionary in French-speaking countries for many years) he will be able to teach and communicate without a translator. Unfortunately, Pastor Jerry Buchanan had some things come up, and will be unable to join us this time; we look forward to him joining us again in the future.
As we finalize the schedule for the
February trip, we will get those details out.
At this point it looks like we will be meeting Mike Webster in Paris and
will fly together to Congo from there on the 4th. We plan to spend a few days in Kinshasa letting
Mike get used to the climate a bit, gathering supplies, and purchasing Bibles
and other materials. We are excited to see the hunger and value people are now
placing on recourses; we can’t keep them in stock! Then, we will head out to
the interior. Sparky and Mike plan to
team-teach “Local Church Administration”. Sparky will also be dealing with some
government issues that have come up. Myndii will be doing Sunday School
training, reorganizing and training at the library, and working at the
house. We plan to head back to Kinshasa
around the 20th to do some seminars there before heading back to our
respective ministries on the 24th.

Family Update
Ruth is doing remarkably well with homeschooling this year. We have modified the schedule some to comply with her IEP suggestions and have been encouraged with her progress. She is also still in the Notus Jr High/High School band and is really coming along as a saxophone player. This year, she graduated up into the youth group at church and is enjoying her time with the “big kids”.
Titus finished up his first
semester of dual-enrollment classes at CWI, a local community college. He is keeping up with the classes and took on
an extra class this semester, taking him up to 12 credits. He will continue to take high school Bible
class at home. He is still a very out-door kid, enjoying the recent
opportunities to go snowmobiling and shooting. He keeps busy as he still works
part-time at Jerry’s Repair.
It sure was nice to have Martha
home for Christmas break! She is such a blessing and brings such joy, laughter,
and music. She is doing very well at
Cornerstone, especially considering her health situation. We are praising the
Lord for her seizures being under control! Her neurologist is changing her
medication, which will hopefully help with some of the things she’s been
struggling with. She has been cleaning house for a couple for a bit of extra
spending money, but mostly keeps herself busy with classes, studying, and
hanging out with friends.
More Workers
We would like to ask specifically for prayer for co-workers for Papy. He is feeling overwhelmed with the work at the IBBC Bible Institute. It is not an easy ministry, requires a lot of travel to the different teaching locations, and really needs someone (or several someones) to come along side and share the load. This will require God’s specific leading in their lives and creativity in how to support their families. Please pray for this vital addition to the ministry.
Pressing On,
Sparky, Myndii,
Martha, Titus, and Ruth Clancy
