February
Missionary of the Month
Diane Alfonso with BEE (Biblical Education by Extension)
Diane serves as the communications coordinator for BEE World (Biblical Education by Extension). BEE World’s mission is to help the Church fulfill the Great Commission by providing biblical training to pastors and church leaders with priority given to countries with limited access, that results in the multiplication of leading servants. BEE World is currently working or has worked in 13 countries (and beyond) in the “10/40 window”—countries in or near Africa and Asia between 10-40 degrees north latitude having high concentrations of unreached people with the gospel.
Prayer requests:
Thanks and Praise to God for Forestgate for their strong and loving support in so many ways!
The BEE World board has recommended a rebranding review and possible name change. (The abbreviation of “BEE” causes some confusion.) Six agency proposals have been submitted, and we hope to decide in early February. Once this process is complete in 2025, every communications piece, from the external website, videos, and curriculum to the smallest internal piece, will need to be redone. Pray for Diane’s stamina and an orderly prioritization of projects.
Praise God that a part-time writer has been identified and is in the process of applying to BEE World, bringing Diane some much-needed help. Would you pray for a quick onboarding and orientation of this writer?
Diane is at 52% of monthly financial needs and is looking for additional monthly ministry partners. Could God be calling you to join her team? Or perhaps you know people she could share her ministry with? Thanks for considering!
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.
