Well, it happened just as planned. We were married just after 2:50pm on August 6th. Thank you all for being there in support of our union whether in person or in spirit and prayer. We’re settling in to our new abode and discovering our new routines – as much as there is such a thing on this missionary journey.
Bethany was accepted as a missionary to ABWE (officially) just two weeks before. Praise the Lord for these good gifts in the whirlwind that was this past month.
So now what? We are starting to build contacts with the churches in our general area of Virginia and North Carolina. Our hope is to start language school in France in August 2017. For us to meet that goal we need to be at 50% support by Oct 15th and then 100% monthly + 100% setup costs by March 31st, 2017. This coincides with the training schedule needed for us to get onto the field. Isn’t it exciting to think that in a year we could be learning French and just a few semesters away from ministering in Togo! Please pray with us that we would be able to meet these goals and not need to delay ministering to the people of Togo.
From our family to yours,
Jonathan and Bethany Edwards
Why Mango? – Here are over 1.5 million reasons.
Mango has over 1.5 million unreached people coupled with almost nonexistent gospel access and churches served by too few and mostly poorly equipped leaders. Here are the top 5 unreached people groups within 100 miles of Mango.
Unreached defined as evangelical population < 2% and little to no access to gospel. Statistics from joshuaproject.net, 15 Aug 2016
