SuperBlessed!
That's how I'm feeling this morning, SuperBlessed. My annual Year-End Funding Campaign is off to a super start! This morning, one of our ministry partners gave a special gift of $6,788.26 – (it's a cool story of why that amount was what he felt God encouraged him to give). This means I'm now $28,211.74 away from the year-end goal of the $35,000 needed to fuel and fund our 2025 ministry! As with most missionaries, a large percentage of our ministry is funded through year-end, tax advantage goals. Today brought a super start!
Would you prayerfully consider a special year-end gift to this ministry? It’s exciting to trust God and live by faith as Andrea and I navigate the road ahead, training God’s leaders globally! He is at work and providing!
Thank you to each of you who generously gives and powerfully prays to make this ministry happen. Did I mention that I feel super blessed?
SUPER CAMBODIA REPORT
Prince Jetlag has finally ended his reign of terror! Cambodia was incredible and WORTH the sleep deprivation! We drove over 1000 miles, I traveled to 12 of the 25 provinces and taught over 350 people at 7 conferences. That means the total number of students that I trained globally this year is now 550. I preached and encouraged 2 churches; we met with 40 Christian Committee members from 9 different provinces and 5 government leaders from the Department of Religion. This ministry is genuinely helping the Cambodian church to grow and thrive.

SUPER GRADUATIONS!
I feel super blessed that this year was a year of graduations. It’s exciting to see the fruit of the cultivation and watering, no?! We graduated five different cohorts of students from two-year or three-year programs in the countries of Rwanda (1 group), Burundi (1 group), and Cambodia (3 groups). These men and women, pastors, and key ministers, are now powerfully equipped to impact their churches, communities, and worlds. Thank YOU for making it a reality. I feel super blessed to have been part of what Jesus is doing in these beautiful lives and ministries!
SUPER PLANS FOR 2025
I fly to Africa in mid-January for training in Kenya (new country alert!) to equip a brand-new group of students. Then, I will spend a second week in Rwanda working with yet another new group of pastors in the mountains. We also plan to launch two new cohorts of students in two regions in Burundi this year. So, we've got an incredible start to the year, impacting four new groups of leaders in at least three countries before April 1st!
I feel super blessed to be part of this ministry with you (I did mention this, no?). I feel super blessed to witness and serve the incredible movement of God globally, and I feel super blessed and incredibly humbled by your confidence, kindness, gifts, prayers, and encouragement.
Merry Christmas and a Super New Year,
Chuckk
