Watkins April 2020 Update
It’s not easy to start a missionary update amidst a pandemic lockdown but suffice it to say that you are most likely reading this from home. And if you were not home, you couldn’t easily open this email on your phone with rubber gloves, our collective “new normal.”...
March 2020 Update Melanie Shepard
Hello Friend! She sent me five emphatic videos to my phone saying this: “I can’t get over it Melanie! All day I’ve been telling God, ‘Here I am.’ Then I got home to read my Bible and the next Psalm I am supposed to read is Psalm 40! Those were the exact words the...
Watkins February 2020 Update
What would you do if tourists came into your church service and began taking photos of yourbuilding and service? Not only this, but their guide would be eloquently narrating to them thehistory of your church in hushed tones. And then they would walk out with awkward...
Watkins January 2020 Update
This newsletter doesn’t begin with a clever title like “20/20 vision for 2020,” which I hope you appreciate, but we do hope you had a blessed Christmas with loved ones and that God warmed your hearts with renewed faith, hope, and love. We enjoyed a wonderful visit...
Watkins December 2019 Update
An interesting thing happens after studying a language – in my case, Russian – for over 30 years. You can actually read it! I was surprised on our recent second trip to Tbilisi, Georgia that I was able to read a text in Old Church Slavonic which is like Gothic Middle...
November 2019 Freedom Church Update
Dear Gir, God is moving the lives of college students! Over 10 students and volunteers recently returned from our annual Fall retreat. This as an extraordinary time of worshiping God, building relationships, growing in discipleship, and having fun. Many of these...
Watkins November 2019 Update
This month marks the 30th anniversary since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and today marks the National Independence Day of Poland, but these times of remembrance deserve some explanation. You see, the Berlin Wall didn’t actually “fall.” The wall was torn down by those...
Watkins October 2019 Update
We skipped our September update because we were in transit back to Poland, so we have much to report in our October update. As I I write this, we are on the train from Ukraine to Poland after a very significant ministry week in L’viv and Ternopil. Myra and I...
Our Mission in Santa Monica 2019
Greeting Friend!“Can I go to church with you even though I am not a Christian?” Chen’s question was sweet and honest. She is still a teen and it is her first time outside of her home country. She had applied for a visa three times in order to study in the states and...
Ethiopia Update!
Greetings dear family and friends! I hope you’re all doing well in the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Last week we had a great time celebrating the graduation of 94 of our kindergarten students in Wonji Shoa! We’re proud of each of them and are confident...
Missionary Resources
A Message from Our President
“Throughout my experiences in traveling to other countries as a pastor, I have recognized a common trend that exists among various ministries and missionaries. This trend is one of potential opportunity to impact the nations, yet the necessary resources are not always available to seize these moments. In an effort to address this challenge, Global Impact Resources was established as a resource-gathering agent for missionaries and ministries.” – Mike Williams
