MAY
Missionary of the Month
Kurt and Marlene Schimke with African Bible College, Uganda
Kurt and Marlene are serving in Kampala, Uganda, on the faculty of African Bible University, where they have been since 2006. They minister to over 80 students from 8 African countries. Kurt teaches several different courses while Marlene also teaches. They are active in a variety of ministries off campus as well.
Prayer and Praise:
· “Praise that Nick’s treatment program for Lyme was fully funded, completed well, and small improvements are already being seen that should get better and better in the next couple of months! We are in AWE of God’s goodness! Continue to pray for Nick’s recovery.
· Pray for ABU student body and faculty/staff as they prepare for graduation next month. A lot goes into the details before this day can go smoothly.
· Pray for David Mugume’s ministry in Uganda
· Praise for our travels and appointments in the US this semester. Pray for us to finish well and for Kurt as he also works on fund-raising for the aviation program at ABU.
· Pray for the hearts of those who do not yet know Jesus, that they will be drawn to Him and also have reason to hope in the resurrection of the great Redeemer.”
Global Missions
The Missions team at Forestgate Presbyterian Church supports and encourages the overall mission of the church, which is to proclaim God’s love through the gospel to Colorado Springs, North El Paso County, and the world. The Missions team provides support for missionaries in our community, in our country, and abroad. We want to encourage their work through financial support, prayer, and regular communication. We support various missionaries every month and also give monetary gifts to various other individuals and groups. Our goal is to cultivate a heart for missions among our members by encouraging them to participate in Missions, both directly and indirectly, through short and long-term missions trips, financial support, and prayer.
