| Dear Friends,
Interglo Ministries: I am currently sitting in the Brickhouse Coffee Shop in Williamsburg, Iowa waiting for my lawyer to come and advise me concerning our new non-profit organization—InterGlo Ministries. We are now recognized by the state of Iowa, have a business bank account, our EIN number and are working on bylaws, trademarks and 501c3 federal designation. Our goal remains 10 civilizations, 10 cities, 10 discipleship centers. Support should still be sent through our BMM Emeritus account. We remain thankful BMM Emeritus missionaries.
The Bad News—Remember Silvani the Muslim background friend? Sadly, he has utterly rejected the gospel as well as our friendship with him. The more our discussion turned towards the gospel and repentance, the quicker he turned away. A second disappointment is that our friend from Myanmar who has asked penetrating questions in the past, and who had moved from being an atheist to an agnostic, has reverted to atheism. We are not sure what happened, but we are hoping she will eventually come to faith. We will continue our love for her.
The Good News–We are experiencing God’s blessings as He leads us forward, joining Him in the building of His body globally.
Nigeria: We have met several Christian and not-yet-Christian friends from Nigeria. This is very exciting because as I am learning about Nigeria, it is becoming evident that it is a key political and spiritual influence across Africa. It could well be that one of the reasons the Lord has brought us to Iowa is to meet these precious friends and to learn from them how to minister the gospel into the strategic country of Nigeria!
Kurdistan: We have been officially asked to teach both on the institute and masters level, courses on evangelism and church planting. We will be traveling to Sulimanyah, Kurdistan in March of 2024 to do so.
The Sailor and the Sheriff: Our Thursday afternoon study continues to be a blessing. The Sheriff has now been baptized and the Sailor is beginning to share his testimony of faith.
Tuesday and Thursday studies remain consistent with edifying relationships being built.
Our Global Friends: We are happily developing friendships with folks from Nigeria, Myanmar, Kurdistan, China, Japan, Columbia, Kazakhstan and Iowa :).
A Solemn Trip: I (Bill) will be traveling to New Hampshire this weekend to visit with my terminally ill sister. Please pray for me.
Please pray with us,
Bill and Deb
