Updates from Global Missionaries
Watkins March 2021 Update
One of the most challenging kingdom endeavors is starting a new work from scratch, and I often encounter a blank stare when I explain the missionary preparation for a non-English-speaking country. In all fairness, preparing and sending someone might be no more...
Watkins January 2021 Update
The “midnight hour” conjures up many thoughts. It could denote the final moments before dreaded doom or the most diffcult moments before a miraculous breakthrough. Just yesterday, it meant that I preached in the Lviv, Ukraine church service, which was 11 am their...
Watkins December 2020 Update
I rarely repeat a theme in our updates, but this theme has been thrust upon us. I sent our last newsletter just after my stepfather, George Moore, passed away, and this update comes on the heels of my sister’s passing. Her name was Tammie Joyner, and she suffered...
Watkins November 2020 Update
It is difficult to convey the assurance of God’s kingdom when the church and society are locked in the vice grips of deafening culture wars, each side in fear that this is the turning point of civilization. Yet a whisper in a whirlwind uttered by the right person...
Watkins Sept-Oct 2020 Update
Dear Friends, we pray that this update finds you well and encouraged during these uncertain times. It seems that nothing more can surprise us only to read in the morning news that one more thing has been shaken overnight. The writer of Hebrews contrasts the stability...
Watkins August 2020 Update

Blake and Michelle Dameron June 2020 Update
June 2020 Update “It is in the freshly toiled soil of crisis where the Gospel is best received and quickly grows.” Ministering through quarantine: My summer does not look how I imagined it. I’m pretty sure you could say the same. Usually, the ENC staff in North...
July 2020 Update Melanie Shepard Otarola
Hello Friend! We are married!!! Our wedding was small in attendance and lavish in close relationships. Before our special day we asked God to be in attendance as well. He came. In one picture, as Charlie and I are sitting side by side listening to his Mom share the...
Watkins June 2020 Update
“Thankful” is a simple but profound word we use when something is better than bad or just an improvement of what we had. We are finally out of quarantine after our trip to the US from Poland, and Myra’s health continues to improve. The current diagnosis and prognosis...
Watkins May 2020 Update
Surprise! We are in the US a month earlier than planned, and here is the story, a short Covid- 19 adventure. We had originally planned a summer trip to the US starting the end of May, but Myra was hospitalized again with some secondary health issues two weeks ago....
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
