A Depth of Appreciation

Dear Friends,

You receive this letter every month from me because you faithfully support a JV ministry or missionary. I wish I could express the depth of appreciation I feel for your partnership! In very concrete ways you make it possible for us to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the next generation here in Eastern Europe. Thank you!

I wish I could take you up to 50,000 feet and give you a glimpse of this movement of God from my perspective. You would see that the missionary you support is part of a really amazing big picture. At that altitude I could show what we are asking God to do in the future, and how you could be a part of it. It would be quite a ride!

Actually, we value your partnership so much that we are going to try to make that possible for many of you. This fall Josiah Venture is planning a 10-city vision tour through strategic locations where JV supporters are concentrated. We'd like to invite you to an evening program and dessert where you can hear testimonies, see pictures and hear stories about what God is doing across Eastern Europe.

I'd like to share with you the vision God has given us for doubling the fruitfulness of this ministry in the next three years, and tell you specific ways you can help. And I would like to thank you, in person, for the role you are playing in this amazing work of God.

We would love to see you there! More details will be coming soon, but could you look at the list below and reserve the date for a city near you?

By the way, thanks for your prayers for the summer camps. Every week I hear stories of many who have come to faith in Christ. We'll try to tell you at least one of those stories, in person, this fall!

Looking forward to seeing you,

Dave Patty
President, Josiah Venture
