These are the current Missionaries that Bridge to Grace Covenant Church supports:
Marta Klein
Physician Assistant (PA) Medical Missionary to DR – Congo
Here is a brief overview of plans of ministry for the next couple of years, and she talks about it a little in the video.
- She has been invited to work at a different mission hospital in DRC – Vanga Baptist Mission Hospital.
- She hopes to work at the hospital the first 6 months, developing relationships with new Congolese and missionary colleagues. She may also be doing some language study during that time. They do speak Lingala in the area, but they also speak Kituba.
- September – PCP is planning a Medical Ambassador trip to the CEUM area. She is planning to travel from Vanga to Gemena in late August with hopes of remaining in the area for 6-8 weeks.
- She will return to Vanga in late October to keep working at the Vanga Hospital.
- Sometime in 2022, she hopes to help the Vanga Baptist Mission hospital implement the program Helping Babies Breathe. This is a program that has been done in the CEUM area. She would like to bring down two nurses from the Karawa/CEUM area to help with training at the Vanga hospital.
Fabio and Johnna Muniz, Missionaries to France
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Amazing how this year flew by. Thank you for another year of journeying with our family as we partner with people locally to live out the kingdom of God in France to the best of our ability.
Their mission to Serve Globally facilitates the practice of the five priorities of the ECC across cultures and around the world through: equipping local congregations for mission, training the people of God through formal and informal theological education, sending missionaries to strategic places, cultivating partnerships with churches and organizations in strategic contexts.
New Prayer Request:
“P” was able to make our young adult fellowship gathering where people shared ways they have felt far from God recently or trapped by fear and anxiety.
“R” is someone who has been coming to our meetings for a long time.
Please keep praying with us for “RH” from California as she discerns whether to join the Serve Globally team in France and perhaps move to Lyon to serve with us in some capacity. Pray for clarity and provision.
Please pray with us for our schedule.Though we have reduced activities so we can spend more time hanging out with Cultural Fusion members and going deeper, we still have a full schedule.
Joel Zamorano serves with Youth With A Mission (YWAM)
Joel and Valdinete Zamorano Approaching the end of the year once again we want to thank God for His infinite faithfulness and care for us. We have seen his provision, his care in every moment. We thank each one of you who through your prayers and offerings are part of these miracles. Thank you very much and our prayer and desire is that God bless you greatly and supply each of your needs in glory through Christ Jesus.
Alicia is almost on vacation! She is doing very well at school with very good grades and received a diploma as an example of a follower of Christ, showing love to other classmates with her good testimony and service.
Isabela is also doing well, she continues to teach at school and in June she finishes her Japanese course, she has a very good lever now, thank God. She also continues preparing to go as a missionary to work in Japan, in 2023. She is raising her finances for that.
During these months we have continued with our ministerial work:
Supporting the church with preaching and the girls with worship.
Supporting another ministry with short-term teams (translation, evangelism, transportation)
Valdinete continue with the counseling for mothers
Camp for children and teenagers – Light in Action Camp
Thank God we were able to carry out the camps with the teens and it is a blessing to see them grow in the knowledge of the Lord. It is a great reward to invest in this generation to see them make a difference with their words and actions. Now in December we hold the camp celebrating Christmas with them. We were able to offer a nice Christmas dinner for the children and a Christmas program for the parents at night, where their children danced, sang and we listened to testimonials and together we shared a tasty hot chocolate. This thanks to the generosity of brothers who joined with their offerings.
- Prayer Requests:
For our family
For our physical and spiritual health
By Isabela to raise the necessary finances.
For our ministry here
Thanksgiving for all that the Lord has done and will continue to do. He is faithful.
A big hug to all,
Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year.
Joel, Valdinete, Isabela and Alici
