Using the time God gave us.

A famous missionary once said, “wherever you are, be all there!” This past year has been different for all of us, so let us get that out-of-the-way. Since we knew things were always up in the air, as in a sense of “when” we could go back to our field, our home pastor along with many other pastors that support us encouraged us to raise our finances; seeing that we were at roughly 80% when we came home from the field. So we took that as a sign from the Lord to be proactive in pursuing new partners in our ministry. And we went from 80 to about 86% currently. We have something scheduled for every Sunday (except two) from now till October 31st. We purposely end it then, because as of right now we are planning to leave that first week of November for Vanuatu and be there by The 6th (by the Lords will and grace). This is exciting, and by early September we hope to finalize this.

Continue to pray, we have two open Sundays and would to love and fill them, whether it be by a potential partner, or the privilege to share about Unreached People Group ministries and the need that still exists worldwide in 2021; we are rather passionate about getting that information out to churches. We are currently available September 26th and October 3rd, if you know of a church that would be willing to host us and give us an opportunity to share, please let us know and email us at: stokingthefires@gmail.com

God has also been gracious and all of our projects have been taken care of except for one building project and our quarantine fee. It is amazing to see how God is bringing this all together on His timing.

We love and appreciate you all, we cannot do this without your love, encouragement, prayer and support. We eagerly await to head back to the place we call home and to serve the Tiale people. -Seth and Nicole Stokes, your feet to the Tiale people and the country of Vanuatu
