Dear Supporters,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I am writing to update you on the exciting developments within our ministry in January and to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support. Your generosity has enabled us to make significant strides in fulfilling the Great Commission and nurturing discipleship around the world.
Over the past few months, I have held numerous Zoom meetings with pastors and missionaries from the USA and Europe. During these sessions, we have been studying and refining effective models for discipleship. These fruitful discussions have deepened our understanding of how best to equip and empower believers to grow in their faith and share the Gospel.
I am especially overjoyed to report a breakthrough in Albania. One of our dedicated missionaries there has successfully mentored six disciples. What is even more inspiring is that one of these disciples now feels called to become a missionary and serve in Asia. This testimony is a powerful reminder that the seeds of faith, when nurtured with love and sound doctrine, bear abundant fruit.
In addition, I had the privilege of attending a six-day conference in Honduras—a gathering of pastors, missionaries, and musician leaders. The Honduras Conference was a dynamic event filled with worship, teaching, and fellowship. During my time there, I was also visited by several pastors and church leaders seeking biblical and doctrinal support for their congregations. Their passion for sound teaching and spiritual growth further confirmed the urgency of our mission.
Ethan and Sarah started the New Year by resuming long term discipleship training they began in 2024. Meeting with young couples and potential future church leaders, they meet weekly with two different groups going through the books of Matthew and John. Ethan is also working to get the property ready for spring maintenance, as well as continuing his role as elder and youth pastor at Robbinsville First Baptist Church and studying as a full time seminary student. Ethan and Sarah strive for faithfulness to their call from the Lord in the year ahead.
Looking ahead, I am preparing to embark on a mission trip to Austria, Albania, Ukraine, and Romania, in full obedience to the will of God. I am confident that these journeys will further expand the reach of His Word, but they will also require both spiritual and financial support. I humbly ask for your prayers and assistance as we prepare to enter these new fields of ministry.
In closing, I draw inspiration from the Holy Scriptures:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)
May these words strengthen our resolve and renew our commitment to advancing the Kingdom of God. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and partnership in this mission. I pray that God blesses you abundantly as you invest in the eternal work of His Kingdom.
In His Service,
Valentin Tent
