Celebrating 15 Years
God has blessed us with fifteen years of marriage and four children. We are thankful for how Jesus continues to breathe new life into our life together. Thank you for your ever-effective prayers for our relationship and family.
EveryInternational
Randy’s scheduled mission trip to Africa was cancelled due to Covid-19, so he turned his focus to international students in his area. He learned about EveryInternational.com and worked through the lessons. To put it into practice, he contacted the eleven international students that played in his church orchestra. Through them he met other students. Later, he and his fellow church members delivered home-cooked meals to 42 international students and prayed with them.
EveryInternational, our digital training program, continues to make an impact. I hope you are encouraged by stories like Randy’s above and the other stories below.
Since we launched EveryInternational, over 1,600 people have signed up for training courses on the website. These lessons have been viewed a total of 15,000 times! Believers are being equipped to reach the nations.
And it’s not just folks here in the U.S. getting trained. Grace was working on a diverse campus in Hong Kong and had the chance to share the EveryInternational video, “Entering Multiple Cultures.” This video helped her International Student friends to better understand one another. They also learned how to share the gospel with their friends coming from various worldviews.
At Chico State University, David is a campus missionary. He was appointed to lead a new sub-ministry for international students. He had no previous experience or training in working with internationals. Two months ago, David found EveryInternational, which gave him a sense of what it means to engage with different people. God gave him a clear vision for reaching internationals. David has not only grown as a campus minister but as a follower of Christ as well.
RightNow Media
An exciting new chapter is opening for the EveryInternational curriculum. We’re taking it beyond the website! RightNow Media, often dubbed the Netflix of Christian media, is now hosting our entire catalog of 40+ videos. All of the content can be watched on the RNM website and using the RNM app on Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, and Roku devices.
RightNow Media has 3.2 million users. Their content is accessed by 18,000 churches and organizations. This partnership will give EveryInternational access to our key target audience: church volunteers.
Your church might have a membership with RNM, and you might even have access from home through them. Talk to your pastor! This would be a great way for your Bible study, small group, or Sunday School class to get trained in reaching internationals. Go to RNM and search for everyinternational.
