Greetings…

to all our friends and ministry partners – wow, 2017 is almost half way gone!   Donna & I are currently on ‘fasting diets’ and some days we announce our countdown to when we can drink coffee or eat chocolate again – (Donna is on the coffee fast – I think I would literally die!)

Anyway, I was reminded of the countdown IMM has to fulfil our vision of 250 churches by 2020.   Now depending on whether you are a glass ½ full or glass ½ empty sought of person we are either 40% there or we have 60% yet to accomplish – either way we are very excited about how God is using IMM and our Aussie sponsors to build His church in Nepal.

We are often asked where do the Church planters come from that work with IMM?   Thankfully our Nepali partners, Pastor Min Raj & Pastor Shashi, have tremendous contacts around Nepal and they are continually mobilising – looking for and recruiting new workers to plant churches with us.   In September this year we will train and deploy a new group of workers – this will be our fifth group.

Please pray with us for God’s enabling as we continue our countdown of 250 by 2020.

Partners together, Ross and Donna.

2017

Youth Impact Team
23rd November – 10th December

We have received a great response to our Short Term Mission Trip in November!  There are a few spots left, so if you have been thinking of applying, don’t delay. 

We will be finalising the team in the next few weeks. 

You can apply via our website or by emailing
mission-teams@imm.org.au

 

Prayer Please:
  • For all of God’s purposes to be achieved through our sabbatical break.
  • For safety & words of wisdom for our Church planters in Nepal.
  • For our teams going to Nepal in September and November this year. 
 Give Thanks with us for:
  • Rest and relaxation times while on break.
  • Our latest family addition – Daniel & Hannah are fostering another baby boy – Neil.
  • God’s faithful enabling for all our ministry endeavours.  

New Project!

We are so excited to announce our next community project – our most ambitious so far!

We all appreciate the value of education and empowering current and future generations of Nepali children is close to our heart.

Mount Olive Academy in Dhangadhi in far west Nepal provides schooling for approximately 400 children.  These children are from particularly low socio economic families who struggle to put food on the table.
In March this year, we commenced education sponsorships for a handful of these children.  We will be assessing more children when we visit in September.
The school’s facilities are limited and very basic.  There are not enough classrooms for all the children.

THE NEED:
2 – 3 CLASSROOMS AND AN OFFICE SPACE

Would you consider partnering with us in this special project?

Donations can be made to our general account BSB 016-253   Account 900535414 and marked ‘Mount Olive Academy’.

CHILD SPONSORSHIPS
Through the generous support of our sponsors IMM is currently advocating for 61 Nepali children

We still have two children in need of an education sponsorship.These sponsorships are only $30 per month and will enable a child to continue their education.  The funds go directly to the school and help cover education costs including uniforms and books.  It also provides a hot meal for the child each day at school.

Approximately 30% of Nepali children do not receive an education because of poverty

Education has the power to change a child’s future.Your investment in an education sponsorship relieves economic pressure on the family and ensures the child can complete their schooling.

We would love to partner with you to change a child’s future.  Visit our website to apply.

On the road…

Dear friends,

Greetings from Cane toad territory!

Indigenous principles work – even when you don’t.

As you may be aware, Donna and I are on a break.  We are enjoying much needed rest to refresh ourselves in a number of ways.

There are two things that give us peace of mind and spirit while we are taking it easy:  the first is knowing Janelle, our faithful Administrator, is taking care of business – meaning my workload can decrease significantly for the short term.

However, it is the indigenous nature of our ministries which is really exciting and gives us tremendous encouragement.

In March this year IMM boosted our church planting team to approximately 100 Nepali men and women, so even when we are not physically in Nepal, the work goes on.

These amazing men and women are working hard to establish Christian churches in least reached areas.

“When we equip and trust locals to do what locals do best, we continue to see Jesus building His church through his people.”

Ross

Give thanks for:

  • God’s work done in God’s way
  • Opportunity for rest and renewal
  • Each worker God positions to join with us

Intercede with us for:

  • Safety and protection for each of our church planters
  • Donna and Ross to walk in and enjoy God’s presence
  • For IMM’s Nepali leaders

From that moment, M.B’s life changed completely. 
He has spent the last seven years serving as a deacon in his church.  In March, he attended IMM’s training and now he is ready to plant a brand new church
in west Nepal.

Changing Seasons…

Hi friends and all our partners in taking the message of Jesus to least reached people,I love this time of year, the changing season reminds me of the different seasons in my life, I’m reminded that ‘there is a time for every purpose under heaven.’  For a number of years now, Donna and I have been working hard to build the ministry potential of IMM. God has blessed everything we have put our hands to.

Now I sense God’s leading to find some space with Donna and intentionally slow down for a couple of months.  So around mid-May, we will pack our van and start our adventure by heading north.  Along the way we will catch up with friends and family and around August, make our way home again from wherever we find ourselves.

I’ll still be active in IMM ministry via my laptop and hope to preach and share some of the exciting things God is doing through IMM along the way.  So, if you know of a church/group or person around the country who may be blessed by hearing about our ministry, please connect the dots so we can minister along the way.

Please thank God with us for:

  • the growth in the number of workers we have in Nepal
  • The opportunity for a mini sabbatical
  • His provision and care for each step of our journey

Please intercede with us for:

  • Safety and protection for all IMM workers
  • Wisdom in planning and preparing for upcoming Nepal trips
  • Restoration while travelling around Oz

SPONSORSHIPS

Following our recent Church Planter training, we have a number of church planters needing sponsors.
FOR AS LITTLE AS $100 per month, you or your church can sponsor an indigenous church planter and be part of TRANSFORMING LIVES AND COMMUNITIES in remote areas of Nepal.

Visit our website for details.

 

SPECIAL PROJECT

The Angel Home at Kathmandu, needs an urgent upgrade!There are currently 12 children sharing one bathroom and later this month, two new children will be coming to the home following the unexpected passing of their mother.

These precious little ones come from the high country where conditions are extremely harsh.  Their father is unable to care for his five children, so the two younger girls are being brought to the Angel Home where they can be adequately cared for and receive an education.

This means there will be14 children sharing one bathroom which is very old and needs urgent repairs.

Would you consider donating to this special project? 

We would love to be able to get this project completed before the Nepali winter.

Use the ‘Donate Now’ button or donate directly to the IMM account listed in this newsletter.

FOR AS LITTLE AS $100 per month, you or your church can sponsor an indigenous church planter and be part of TRANSFORMING LIVES AND COMMUNITIES in remote areas of Nepal.

Visit our website for details.

 

SPECIAL PROJECT

The Angel Home at Kathmandu, needs an urgent upgrade!There are currently 12 children sharing one bathroom and later this month, two new children will be coming to the home following the unexpected passing of their mother.

These precious little ones come from the high country where conditions are extremely harsh.  Their father is unable to care for his five children, so the two younger girls are being brought to the Angel Home where they can be adequately cared for and receive an education.

This means there will be14 children sharing one bathroom which is very old and needs urgent repairs.

Would you consider donating to this special project? 

We would love to be able to get this project completed before the Nepali winter.

Use the ‘Donate Now’ button or donate directly to the IMM account listed in this newsletter.
Gifts should be marked – ‘Angel Home Bathroom’.

News from our recent trip

Our recent trip to Nepal was very successful.  It was a trip that stretched us, yet blessed us in so many ways.  We sensed God’s hand so heavily upon us as we seek to impact Nepali people with the possibility of choosing Jesus.
On this trip we welcomed twelve more children into our Child Sponsorship Program, and we invited 40+ new Church Planters to join our Church Planting movement.
One story:
One young woman came to be interviewed to join our ministry and plant a church.   We asked if she was married and she said “Yes, her husband was outside, also waiting to be interviewed”. They wanted to be interviewed separately because they each wanted to plant a church.  We asked him to join us and as we investigated further, we discovered they had only been married the week before and now they were in separate dorms being trained to plant churches.   We thought,  “Wow – God will certainly bless this beautiful union.”  And of course we invited them to plant their first church with IMM – TOGETHER!

CURRENT NEED – SUPPORT JANELLE’S ROLE

In November last year IMM employed Janelle Payne one day a week as our Administrator and Children’s Co-ordinator.  
With God’s blessing we are growing rapidly!  My vision is to employ Janelle four days a week.  This is an urgent need for our growing administrative workload.
We gave some background of Donna’s and my involvement with Janelle and her husband Dave in our November News.   

 

Here’s a bit more about what drives Janelle….
What is it about children’s ministry that melts your heart?
First, their innocence and vulnerability, and the fact that their lives are a story that is yet to be fully written.   To be able to empower them to be all they were created to be is such a privilege.

What inspires you?
People who are not afraid to step out of their comfort zone and give everything to be all that God planned and purposed them to be.

Is the mission’s world so different from our world in Australia? 
 A thousand times yes! How many of us would attend a church planting course in lieu of a honeymoon?  How many of us would pack up our families and homes to move to a remote location to plant a church with a month’s notice?  How many of us would choose Jesus over a relationship?  How many of us would really, knowingly, intentionally risk persecution, being ostracised by everyone we know, including family, and even face death to follow Jesus?   I’ve met all of these people… but not in Australia.

 What annoys you? 
 People who mess up my pantry!  (I think I may have a touch of OCD) or going to the fridge to eat the last of my chocolate and finding the kids have beaten me to it!

How can God’s people support you with IMM? 
Pray! And if  God leads, give financially. We are now advocating for 67 children & have over 100 church planters!  The administration behind all this quite extensive and will only grow…
together we can achieve more!
