The 30/30 Sleep Talk Challenge!

So, Joel sleep talks!

This morning as Eliana and I were getting up, Joel's head pops off the pillow and he explains to us, "Also, when you think youth ministry, think ages 13-30.." He trailed off when he realized we already know this :-)


It's part of his usual explanation about the Josiah Venture ministry, going into detail on the word "youth" in Josiah Venture's vision statement: 
A movement of God among the YOUTH of Eastern Europe that finds its home in the local church and transforms society.

Now that was his first time talking in his sleep about fundraising but how often does he talk in his sleep??

Oh, if we had a dollar for every time Joel sleep talks!!

Seriously! Are you willing to give us a dollar for every night Joel sleep talks? That pretty much comes to $30 a month.

We are looking for 30 people to support the JV ministry in Eastern Germany at $30/month. Will you be one of them? 

You know, sometimes Joel talks in his sleep multiple times a night, so if you are able, consider supporting us at $60, $90, or $120 a month. Thank you for helping us get overseas!

You can give to our ministry at: https://www.josiahventure.com/give/people/191

Church Supprt

This past weekend, we had the chance to visit a church very dear to my heart: Fellowship Chapel of Bolingbrook. This is where I (Ellen) became a believer in 2000. We were invited to speak about our missions plans in Sunday School and Joel preached during the service.

Please, continue to pray for us as we visit churches we have been involved with in the past to seek support for our missions plans. This fall, while Joel and I are both working part time, we are focusing on raising support. Our hope and goal is to raise 100% by the end of the year. Are you able to help us reach our goal?
