 Missionary of the Month
Tom and Laura Requadt
Tom and Laura Requadt are serving in Mali, North Africa. Tom is involved in translation of the Bible and Laura has children's Bible clubs 6 days a week at their house. They are also involved in church planting. At the present time they are on Home Assignment but are scheduled to return to Mali after the wedding of their daughter. However, in the last couple weeks rebels have led a coup against the government and have looted and destroyed many towns in the north. Missionaries have been trying leave the area, but buses for travel are difficult to get. The situation is very critical. Please pray for all the believers and missionaries who are in the middle of this and also for peace to return to the country. Pray for the Requadts as they await the outcome of negotiations under way.
 Alice Statler
Alice Statler has been working in Senegal for many years. Her husband, Ed, passed away a few years ago and she has continued working with the women in the churches. She teaches in the seminary there and also has retreats for pastors' wives to encourage them in their ministries with their husbands. The seminary building has been built but due to the theft of funds paid to the electrical contractor, they have no electricity. He has been given some time to pay it back by the police so they are praying that that would happen. Her son and wife are expecting a baby so she is very happy about that. Pray for her ministry in Senegal.
The doors of opportunity are vast in Senegal. Though small in number, the evangelical church is coming out of its infancy. Hundreds of Senegalese are coming to Christ yearly. On their own, the Senegalese have started a missionary society with the goal of seeing Senegalese missionaries reaching other Senegalese. The Evangelical Theological Institute of Senegal (ITES, formerly IED) contributes valuable training to these workers and other leaders who are so much in demand.
Alice grew up in Morenci, Arizona, where she received Christ at age 12. After graduating from Bible college she taught in Arizona for three years. In 1975,
Alice responded to a need to teach in Dakar, Senegal. While teaching at the missionary children’s school in Dakar, she developed a vision for the work among the Wolof people there. While Alice was in language study in France on her way to Senegal, she met Ed there in 1982 and they were married two years later.
In September 2003, Ed successfully completed a doctoral program. His research on learning styles of adults in Senegal was done with the goal of making teaching the Word of God more dynamic. His work has now been translated into French and is in use in Senegal. Alice’s ministry now is teaching at the Institute and directing a discipleship and leadership training course for women, particularly pastors’ wives and students’ wives.
Ramon & Alma Rodriguez
Ramon and Alma Rodriguez are serving the Lord at Nogales Seminary in Mexico. Alma is very involved with the women both at the seminary and in the area .Read more. Ramon leads the seminary and is seeing students begin new churches in Mexico. They also have students in the local prison and extension courses in the cities of Hermosillo, Caborca, Agua Prieta, Los Mochis, Empalme, and Mexicali. They ran their first youth camp at the seminary in July, 2011 for the youth from their local churches. Please pray for the students at the seminary and pray, too, for financial needs of the school.
At the age of 17, Ramon felt God call him to full-time Christian ministry, so he registered at Seminario Bautista de Nogales (SEBANO), a theological institution of the Conservative Baptists in Mexico. After graduating from seminary in 1978, he began serving as a missionary in Sonora, Mexico, where he planted two churches.
In 1983, Ramon felt the need to train other Mexican nationals for ministry, so he moved to Nogales, Sonora, and started teaching at the seminary and he also pastored the Getsemani Baptist Church. This church was planted by students of the seminary, and Ramon & Alma were part of this team.
Graduated in Business Administration from the Nogales Technologic Institute in 2003, and after 21 years serving at the seminary, Ramon Rodriguez was appointed as the Executive Director of the Nogales Baptist Seminary. Ramon is developing a new strategy for the seminary to reach a greater number of students in the Nogales, Sonora area. He is also working to further improve the facilities to accommodate a greater number of students living on the campus.
FAITH Ramon was born and raised in a Christian home in Mexico. He accepted Christ as his Savior when he was 16 years old.
FAMILY Ramon and Alma were married in 1977 and have three daughters, Sonia and Lydia and Amy
 CONNECTING PEOPLE
David & Joyce Falconer
We have completed a wonderful year of seeing God’s hand on the ministry of “Networking4missions” The Shona people in Southern Africa have a proverb that says, “Knowledge is like a glowing coal.” Read more. The proverb refers to the rural village setting where a young girl goes out to gather wood to cook the evening meal. When the fire has burned for a time, the coals begin to glow white hot, and before long a neighbor comes by to scoop up a few coals to start their fire. This is expected, no one minds sharing a few hot coals. Once the second fire is lit, someone else stops to borrow a glowing ember, and so the first is passed on, and house by house the entire village is blessed by the effort of one little girl. We like this story because it is connecting people so they can in turn reach out to others. This is the ministry of Networking4Missions. We want you to rejoice with us as we have started many fires that continue to burn in several places in the USA and Mexico. We strongly believe in II Timothy 2:2, “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also." It is our passion to do this every opportunity that is given to us as we continue to finish the race and to finish well. We can do this by teaching others who will in turn teach others.The Christmas party at Mt. Hebron (near the city dump) in Nogales was a great success. Over 30 people from Trinity came along to help in this special event, with over 200 children. We were able to give 280 hoodies to children, 180 quilts, canisters filled with beans and over 4000 poppers. Ten churches in Mexico received toys for children. This was the result of several churches throughout the Southwest. They provided various items for this event. We are grateful for the opportunity of serving others who have such great needs. It is wonderful to be able to present the story of Christ, the greatest gift as we took each trip into Mexico.
Rick and Ruth Guenther
Rick and Ruth Guenther are serving in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.They have ministered to First Nation people with women's classes, and a tea bus outreach to teens and a local church. They have been asked to help plant a church in a multi-cultural community and have started the church Meadowgreen House for All Nations. There are over 25 different groups represented in the community, so it is a challenge to minister to them all. This month a Hindu woman from Nepal accepted Christ. Pray for their Christmas Eve service as people from many nations will be there, and they want it to be relevant to all who attend.

BRENT AND CHRISTINE RALSTON
|
|
|
 Ralston Brent and Chris Ralston have served as church planters in the Philippines for many years. They have established many churches over these years. Some are struggling but some are very healthy and growing. Brent recently visited churches to encourage the pastors. About 6 years ago Brent became pastor of Binalbagan Baptist Church. The church has doubled in size to 80 adults and has a child sponsorship program for 60 kids and families. Because it is a very poor community, Pastor Maloney was given some financial help to raise pigs which is helping him and the church. Another church in the foothills of Mt. Canlaon has 180 adults in their morning service with another 100 children in another worship service. They are making plans to start a daughter church in a nearby community.
Please pray for the Ralstons as they train leaders and help to establish churches. They are trying to raise additional funds to help these churches in very poor areas. Pray for Chris as she home schools their daughter Hannah.

 Gary and Laurie Scheer
During the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the country claimed to be 60-80 percent Christian. If 80 percent of the country had truly been disciples with changed lives, how could there have been a genocide? The Scheers’ burden is for life-changing discipleship.
The Scheers arrived in Rwanda in 1979 to do leadership training. They found that the Rwandan church was vibrant and expressive in its worship, but it needed to develop depth in biblical understanding. At least 80 percent of the Rwandan pastors have only a primary school education and no Bible training at all.
After many years working with a Baptist group in Rwanda, the Scheers felt the need to help the many new church groups that were springing up all over the country. Many are teaching strange doctrines and have questionable practices.
New Creation Ministries (NCM) was begun in 1992 to train leaders for the Rwandan churches. The 1994 genocide in Rwanda leveled the ministry of NCM program. Fifteen of their 45 students and board members were killed. Most of the others had fled the country. In 1995 the Scheers returned to Rwanda to pick up the work. At times the Scheers were the only ones, missionary or national, doing the work.
Since then, God has given NCM a strategically located piece of land in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, on which to build a training center. The center now has classrooms, offices, a dormitory and dining hall. Seven missionary units from WorldVenture are working with NCM, along with five Rwandan workers.
NCM has three main ministries. First is the Pastoral Training School. This is a four-year program for those pastors with only a primary school education and no Bible training. Pastors from all types of denominations come for three weeks of intensive training four times a year for four years. In between sessions they return to their churches with work assignments. Their churches begin to be revived while they are still in school.
Second is the Lay Training Institute (LTI). The LTI focuses on university students and recent graduates. They will take the seats of influence in both their churches and the country. NCM is partnering with InterVaristy to disciple these key Christians.
Third is the Friends of Jesus ministry. Friends of Jesus will help churches to disciple their children. Few churches in Rwanda have the vision or training to have an effective ministry to their children.

Rich and Cheri Strahm are working in the Ukraine where he began a missions program for a seminary on location. He also has given mission challenges in churches. There has seen a great interest among the young people to consider cross-cultural ministry. On the first weekend of June there was an evangelistic outreach in Briansk. 80 young people were there, 60 who were unbelievers, invited by 20 believers. They had a "Gospel magic" illusions program and then presented the Gospel. Several young people accepted Christ. Please pray for the church in Briansk as they engage in further opportunities in reaching out to those who will have the opportunity to hear the Gospel.

Scott and Carol Klingsmith
|
|
|
 Scott and Carol Klingsmith have served for many years in Austria, traveling behind the Iron Curtain to train pastors. When that fell, he openly trained pastors in eastern Europe. They are now in an interim position at Denver Seminary where Scott is launching a new MA program in Mission and Justice which will begin Fall 2012. He is finding teachers and getting the courses ready right now. The are home primarily because Carol has MS and it is continuing to take a toll on her body. Although she is in a wheelchair and in pain, she has written a book of poems entitled "Glimpses of Grace"
"Lord, I desire that my life
be a beautiful symphony for you.
I want the notes of my life to honor you.
I want harmony, I want the sweet sounds to
reverberate 'You are my King!'
But there are times I feel all I bring
are discordant sounds.
The cacophony and disharmony
feel so un-praiseworthy, so discouraging.
God, please take these notes and turn them
into beautiful music for you.
Please turn my untamed phrases
and wild, jarring sounds
into a sweet song of praise for you."
Please pray for Scott and Carol.

Terry and Jeannie Dalrymple  After four years as International Coordinator for LifeWind, Terry has established a Global CHE Network involving more than 250 Christian organizations in 80 countries around the world. He continues to provide leadership to a growing movement, equipping and mobilizing Christians to work together for effective Community Health Evangelism ministries in rural poor communities and urban slums around the world.
Community Health evangelism is a breakthrough mission strategy that seamlessly integrates evangelism and discipleship with disease prevention and community-based development. The work is wholistic, seeking to meet the whole need of individuals and communities through complete obedience to everything that Jesus commanded
The Global CHE Network is an association of people and organizations using the strategy of Community Health Evangelism (CHE) to transform lives and communities worldwide. Through these ministries people become followers of Jesus, churches are planted and strengthened, and whole communities are lifted out of cycles of poverty and disease (for more information, see www.CHEnetwork.org).
After many years of service in the Philippines, Terry pioneered for LifeWind in 9 countries in Southeast Asia, working together with partners to establish CHE ministries in more than 400 communities. Later as International Coordinator he guided the expansion of a growing movement that now involves more than 250 organizations serving 2300 communities in 79 countries.

He holds a Bachelors degree in Bible, and a Master of Divinity from Western Seminary in Portland Oregon. Terry is married to Jeannie who works as a nurse on a neurological unity, and is a clinical instructor. They have three adult children.
 Mike and Melody Dickens
After graduating from college in electrical engineering, Mike served a two-year missionary term in Kenya. It was there that Mike first considered career ministry.
After some volunteer work with college and young singles, Mike was appointed as a Campus Ambassador in 1978. He first served at the University of Utah, then in 1980 moved to Ellensburg to plant a new ministry at Central Washington University.
Mike says, “We serve an awesome God! My passion is to see students’ lives changed by the power of Jesus, and to plant and strengthen college ministries that help facilitate that change. I want to see students encounter Jesus, be empowered by the Holy Spirit, and become equipped to minister while at college, in the local church, and after graduation.”
His plan is to develop the ASU ministry and plant other Campus Ambassadors ministries in Arizona and the Southwest. As Mike serves as Regional Campus Specialist, he will have opportunity to oversee existing ministries, recruit and train new staff, and scout new campuses for potential outreaches. Mike also serves as the Phoenix Area Director.
FAITH Mike, raised in a Christian family, made a conscious commitment to Christ while in high school. Melody came to know the Lord in junior high. After graduation she served as a Campus intern in Ashland, Oregon, until their marriage in 1985. In 1991, they moved to Minneapolis to begin a new ministry at the University of Minnesota. The winter of 1999 found Mike, Melody and son Matthew relocating to Tempe, Arizona. They now work on the campuses of Arizona State University-Tempe and ASU-Polytechnic.
FAMILY Mike and Melody have one child: Matthew.

 Malcolm and Peggy Hartnell
The Hartnells were appointed to service with WorldVenture (formerly CBInternational) in 1980. From 1981 until 1998 they worked as church planters on the south coast of Kenya, primarily among the Digo, an unreached people group. In addition to planting a church among the Digo, the Hartnells also helped to plant two churches among migrant workers in Mombasa. After returning to the States in 1998, Malcolm worked with international students at Arizona State for two years and continues to minister to refugees on a volunteer basis. In 2000 Malcolm joined the faculty of Phoenix Seminary where he teaches intercultural studies.
Beginning in 2008, Malcolm, Peggy, and their son, Colin,are spending a portion of each year in Kenya and Tanzania where they will work with unreached people groups by preparing materials for oral audiences. In addition to East Africa, the Hartnells will also spend a portion of each year in Asia. For the remainder of the year the Hartnells will be stateside where Malcolm will continue to teach at Phoenix Seminary.
Malcolm and Peggy were married in Phoenix in 1970, and have two children, Colin and Kathryn (Siebert)
Ben & Aleyamma Joseph
Ben Joseph was born and raised in a Christian home in Kerala, India, but didn’t come to know Christ in a personal way until he came to the United States. In 1972, while attending Southwestern College in Phoenix, Arizona, Ben gave his life to the Lord and shortly thereafter felt himself called to Christian ministry. While attending Denver Seminary in 1975, Ben married Aleyamma, another native of Kerala, who had accepted the Lord when she was fourteen years old. The Josephs were appointed by Mission to the Americas in 1983, and started their ministry as Campus Ambassadors in 1984. They have two children—Jason and Asha.
At Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, the Josephs have the opportunity to minister among the more than 4,000 students who have come to the U.S. from over 140 different nations. Around eighty percent of these students are from the 10/40 window, the least evangelized parts of the world. Many of these students will hold positions of leadership when they return to their homeland.
Ben says, “We are fortunate to have the world come to our doorstep—a foreign mission field in America. There may be no better opportunity for world evangelization than that of reaching International students for Jesus Christ. Not only do they represent a potent missionary force as they return to their homelands, but the opportunity for open interaction is often much greater on a University Campus than in their native countries”
Ministry is orchestrated through a variety of activities and events, such as airport pick-up and hospitality ministry that assist students with finding housing and furniture, monthly activities where students can meet other students with finding housing and furniture, monthly activities where students can meet other students and American families, Bible studies, and “host-family” programs which provide a “home away from home” sense for students and a great opportunity for believers from area Churches to participate in world missions.
Aaron and Nancy Palmatier were both born in California, raised in Catholic homes, and became Christians as young adults. They met while students at California State University in Chico. After graduating in 1985, they went their separate ways. In 1986, Aaron became associate pastor at Central Baptist Church in Sacramento, California. Moving into an area with a high rate of crime, drugs and prostitution, he began working among young people. In 1987, Nancy served with the Latin America Mission Spearhead Program in Mexico City. There the Lord gave her a vision for missions and a heart for Latin American people. Aaron and Nancy met again in 1988; the following year they were married and continued serving as a team in the church where Aaron was ministering. After eight years of ministry in Sacramento, Aaron and Nancy were appointed in 1994 by Mission to the Americas for ministry in Mexico.
MinistryAaron and Nancy served as church planters in Northern Mexico for the first five years with Mission to the Americas. They took part in starting three new churches. In 2000 Aaron’s ministry increased as he began to serve as the Regional Director for the country of Mexico. This included giving oversight to the church planters, both foreign and national, as well as oversight of Sebano, the Conservative Baptist Seminary in Nogales, Sonora. In 2003 Aaron’s ministry increased again as he was asked to serve as the International Ministry Director for Mexico, Cambodia, and Native American Indians in the United States. In 2007 Aaron turned over the leadership of Mexico to the national leadership he trained in country. The same year Missions Door began ministry in China and Aaron was appointed as Asia ministry director. Aaron soon realized that the biggest area of need for all the foreign fields was financial support for the indigenous missionaries and national ministries. In 2007 he began a new ministry of economic development. He seeks to start economic projects in the poorest countries so that missionaries and ministries will not be dependent on foreign funds.
Ministry Directors oversee Mission to the Americas missionaries and their work. They communicate the philosophy of ministry, help establish and carry out goals, advise, counsel and encourage ministers and their families. Since new missionaries are urgently needed, especially nationals, Directors also gather information and make recommendations about areas and personnel for launching new ministries, and help raise support and ministry funds for national missionaries.
 Sam and Kerry Partain
Kerry has a very special ministry – she teaches high school English, is a great mom to Ezra, and is a tremendous encourager to me.
Sam is the Area Director for Young Life in Urban/Eastside Tucson. I oversee ongoing ministry at four local high schools (Sabino, Sahuaro, Rincon/UHS, and Tucson High) and two middle schools (Emily Gray and Apollo). I also have the privilege of mentoring and overseeing our staff in charge of YoungLives, our ministry to teen moms.
My job is difficult to describe. Primarily, I am in the leader development business – recruiting, training, equipping, and encouraging our leaders who do the hard work of developing relationships with kids, so that they can share Christ within the context of friendship. Another part of my job is community development. For instance, if a school has a need (tutoring, for instance) perhaps some Young Life leaders could help out. Or if a church has some people who have a heart for kids but they don’t know where to start, we can do leader training for them. Another portion of my job is direct ministry with kids – I am a Wyldlife leader at Apollo Middle School (a very poor, very Hispanic, very under-performing school on the Southside), and a Young Life leader at Tucson High (a very large, very diverse, very un-reached school right in the middle of town).
Young Life is all about incarnational relationships – leaders GO to kids, we enter their world and get to know them. By showing up and listening, and being consistent, and not judging, and taking them seriously we earn the right to be heard. The hope is that through these relationships we can communicate the truth about Jesus in a relevant way kids understand. My vision is for kids all over Tucson to have a chance to hear the Good News, give their lives to Christ, and grow in their faith.
 Dave and Hazel Rowe
The Lord called Dave to missions during his undergraduate years at Rutgers through InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. As a Missions Door Campus Ambassador for 18 years, Dave worked in campus ministry, worship ministry, and preaching/teaching.
In 1991 the Mission approved his involvement in a strategic partnership with a small evangelical leadership training school now known as Salt Lake Theological Seminary. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he runs the chapel and spiritual-life programs and leads seminars on evangelizing Mormon people. He also helps Hazel in ministry to international students.
FAITH David’s parents gave him a prophetic middle name — Livingstone, and Dave embraces the legacy of that famous doctor: he loves to join the action where God sets fire to souls in unlikely places — like Salt Lake City, Utah, the nerve center of Mormon culture.
Dave became a Christian through a child evangelism ministry. Hazel met the Lord in high school.
FAMILY David and Hazel met in college in 1969 while doing music for a singles retreat in Colorado. They were married in 1970, and they have three children: Brian, Charity and Alexander.
 John and Debbie Tweeten
After graduating from the University of Mary with a BS degree in Business Administration and a minor in Communications we moved to Arizona in 1990 and I have been a member of Trinity Baptist Church since 1991. I served as a Sunday school class leader, usher, teacher in AWANA, and have served alongside my brothers in Mexico. My experience in farming, construction and manufacturing gives me unique abilities to see the big picture. I am currently working with a company called Safeguard to support my family. I have six children, ten grandchildren, and adopted "children" from Mexico, Turkey, Korea, and Afghanistan.
I began working on a project in Nogales because others said it couldn't be done. Partnering with many individuals from Trinity and other churches in the US and Mexico has provided a rich environment for success through God's power and for His glory the past 13 years. Building churches, apartments, and houses for pastors, my projects go mostly along the border from Nogales to Agua Prieta. I have gone as far south as Hermosillo and up into the mountains in a small village called La Estancia.
I still feel a sense of wonder as we cross the border. What will happen next? I could tell you so many times when, in spite of me, God made things happen. I probably could write a book on the miracles that I have seen on my travels in Mexico.
After working on projects in Mexico for about 3 years Deb and I were encouraged to take a class on world missions to broaden our perspective on God's vision for the nations. When I lived in North Dakota I thought of missions by the way of writing a check and putting it in the offering plate. Now I am privileged to go and be there and have a small part in God's plan.
Through involvement within our community, Mexico, and beyond, we have discovered that God has a plan to use each one of us in His vision for the nations. Deb works with the PathWays program and we open our home to international people. When He calls we're willing to go wherever He wants us to go.
God has a way of using inept instruments such as me to complete these projects. God has blessed me in so many ways. My family keeps growing in Mexico and here in the US.
