Over the past 22 months you, our Kingdom partners, have aided in the Lord’s work in 12 countries; 6 in Asia, 3 in Africa, 2 in Europe, and the last one being the USA! Your prayers and resources have helped do the following:
(On the World Race- 11 countries in 11 months)
A blind woman in India received her sight back after 6 years!
The poor had the Gospel preached to them!
Through our hands orphans felt the loving embrace of God, our Abba Father!
The elderly were gently cared for and loved with dignity and respect!
Hundreds of children and college students got to learn English, which provides them with greater opportunities in their countries!
Bibles were distributed to people who hunger for the Word!
Pastor’s were taught how to type on a computer and create a word document, send emails, stay connected to the body and ministries of fellow brothers and sisters using facebook, twitter, and blogging!
We were able to give to our fellow squad mates in order to keep them out on the mission field where God had called them!
The pastors and contacts in each country saw their ministries grow, and they were able to utilize the funds that came from us to further their reach in their communities!
Fears of being left high and dry were crushed as Jehovah Jireh provided through you!
Medicine was purchased to help me overcome strep throat and malaria I contracted!
A painful hernia (mine) was reduced to nothing and completely healed, through prayer, after enduring it for over a year!
A Revolution in my marriage that has transformed the way that we do life now, and the way that we will raise our children in the future- the first of whom will be arriving in only 1 month’s time!
(During my apprenticeship at Adventures in the CGA program, in the USA)
I got to serve the Adventures in Missions staff by leading the staff worship times on Monday mornings- where we give to God the first fruits of our week and commit all that will happen to Him!
I participated in the arranging, and recording of Adventures in Missions first musical ventures- “The Outpour E.P.” released by Adventures Music!
I got to serve World Racers by leading worship during their training camp and launch!
I developed relationships with mentors that have poured into my life and have helped sharpen me, my character, and my walk with God!
I worked in the Admissions department conducting interviews for World Race applicants and helped in the process of sending hundreds of new World Racers out to the mission field to bring the Kingdom of God to earth!
As of right now we only need $550 in order to cover the remainder of my time in CGA through the month of April! Please consider supporting us one last time to conclude this season with Adventures in Missions! Be the one! https://www.adventures.org/give/donate.asp?giveto=worldrace&desc=Derek%20and%20Christina%20Simke
Christina, Bambino, and I want to thank you for partnering with us in the sowing, the watering, and the reaping that the Lord has done in and through us during this season of life! We are forever grateful for your sacrifice and faithfulness to the Lord’s call! You all are such a blessing and a joy to us! We will be returning to South Florida and putting down some roots with our family of 3 at the beginning of May! We look forward to seeing some of you soon! Please pray for God’s wisdom, guidance, favor, provision, and peace during this home stretch and transition into a new season!
P.S. I’m looking to network with anyone that knows of any potential job opportunities in the Palm Beach County area! Let me know if you are that person! Email me at: [email protected]
Grace and Peace,
Derek, Christina, and Bambino 🙂
