JANUARY
Missionaries of the Month

Jimmy & Vicki Covey
with World Outreach Ministries serving USAFA graduates

After 39 years of ministering to cadets at the United States Air Force Academy, the Coveys are now focusing on the Academy’s Grad community. Their vision is simple…lifetime laborers for a world-wide impact. Their method reflects Paul’s itinerant ministry of following-up his disciples. As such they spend much of their time traveling from city to city, talking with Grads and their families to “…see how they are” (Acts 15:36), listening to their questions, sharing life together, always seeking to strengthen “the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith….”
(Acts 14:21-22).

Jonathan Clark
with RUF at UCCS

Mission Update: “We continue to reach students in Colorado Springs effectively. Our weekly large group gathers around 30-35 students weekly for worship, fellowship, and preaching. Jonathan finished preaching through Genesis 1-11 in the Fall Semester. They also started weekly worship, which is a big addition. We have seen two students profess faith or reaffirm faith in the Fall semester, which is an incredible grace from God. Our small groups continue to be challenging given the social fragmentation and the commuter nature of UCCS. We also have an active Bible study with Colorado College students in our home.

Prayers:
·      Encouragement. The fall semester started strong, but has ended with a lot of loss of student interest due to busyness and students not returning to school.
·      Leadership development. We need new leaders to rise up to help Jonathan.
·      Financial support. Inflation and rising costs has stretched the RUF budget.
·      Spiritual maturity. We need students to grow in faith, and bring their friends to RUF. Pray the Holy Spirit will warm hearts with the gospel that leads to obedience.”
