- We will continue to minister in churches, as they request.
- We will be involved with the FBBC&TS annual missions conference in October.
- We have been asked to teach at a seminar in Iowa City, which will be attended by Christians across the city who are committed to ministering the gospel to the global community in Iowa City–super pumped about the opportunity.
- I (Bill) am studying Nonprofit Organizational Leadership and Administration at the University of Iowa.

- Attending Global Training Network annual conference in February of 2024.
- Preparing to travel to Kurdistan in March of 2024, and hoping to travel there with several doctors, and others who may join the team.
All of these will in one way or another contribute to the ultimate calling/goal of making disciples of all nations by ministering locally and discipling globally. We are “full up” with ministry opportunities and obligations. There is not much room in our schedule for more activity and we need your prayers. Pray as we maintain a disciplined diet, and a disciplined schedule of ministry, exercise, and rest.
We love and appreciate you,
Bill & Deb Edmondson
