Greetings friends and fellow-worshipers, we hope that you are all healthy and safe and continuing to enjoy the presence of the living God wherever you are! Maryl and I are glad to have been fully vaccinated and staying busy as much as possible. Though 2020 and 2021 presented many severe challenges, and we were not able to travel and minister as we would normally, we were able to find new avenues of ministry and to stay healthy and strong! – thank you Jesus!
I am teaching many online students on cello, piano, guitar, voice and leading worship. In fact, I am now teaching a young lady from Turkey on the cello! What a thrill to be able to teach around the world while staying at home! Also, I am mentoring online a lot and even meeting with one young pastor here in person! God has been faithful to open doors of opportunity for us as well as time of reflection and rest (much needed). I love technology when it promotes the gospel and connects us with the world!
Last fall I was thrilled to be able to travel a little and do three worship seminars: Ketchikan, Alaska; Springfield, Oregon and Jefferson, Oregon! We are seeing and hearing about a lot of good fruit coming out of those powerful times together. In fact the church in Jefferson – Abundant Life Center – has asked me to mentor their worship pastor as well as do the seminar and periodic workshops with the worship team over the course of a year! I am also working with many of the team members with private lessons. This might be my new model for mentoring and ministering. God has really opened up a great new door!
Maryl continues to deliver a lot of babies as well as going to online school fulltime – working on Master’s Degree in Intercultural Studies at Sioux Falls Seminary (in conjunction with NAIITS) which will enhance our intercultural ministry! She’s amazing!
We hope to be releasing more ministry videos on this website, so be watching for that. My desire has always been to equip and release worship around the world. So God has had to be creative with me! :) I love communicating with friends internationally and praying with them over issues they are facing. Through this whole pandemic season God has kept us fairly healthy and active. Now we are looking forward to getting back to traveling and ministering in late summer or fall! We have quite a few nations lined up to get back to as soon as possible! And with the new guidelines we hope to be ministering more stateside soon! Be blessed and prosper in His presence! We love you all. Let us know if you certain areas that you would like prayer for and please be praying for us as we venture out in this fresh season of ministry and worship around the world!
in Him, Tim and Maryl
