A good friend from Red Bridge wrote an article for the Christian Standard magazine. It’s about the missionary convention we went to back in November. Click here to view…

December Newsletter
Well, there goes 2010! Our newest newsletter just got posted under the Newsletters tab…
May God richly bless you, and may we never forget that eternity is real…for everyone.
And just in case you need more reasons to pray for us, check out this language!
Quality Care
God bless the lawyer who came up with this sign, so prominently displayed between the ambulance bay and the trauma rooms at an ER near you!
If you’ve stumbled across this little blog, welcome! And just so you know, this picture has absolutely nothing to do with missions in Cambodia. However, it has everything to do with a little shout out to my peeps on The Hill…you know who you are!
Three Shifts Left!
Ladies & Gentlemen,
My how the season flies! I hope you’re fully enjoying this Christmas season and looking forward to the January exercise regimen. : – ) In any case, I just wanted to update ya’ll on our “status” and thank you for supporting us this far.
Start Up Costs = a whopping 77% raised
Monthly Budget = 41% pledged (our January, 2011 goal is 50%)
We’ve been so blessed by your prayers and encouragement. I often tell people that I did not think the fundraising part of this missionary venture would be so exciting and encouraging! Thank you! It’s been said that God is NEVER LATE but RARELY EARLY, and we’re sort of counting on that, especially now. So, if you’ve pondered partnering with us monthly, congratulations, you share something with God (the rarely early part, anyways). : – ) For more info on how to give, click on the Donate Now tab.
May the WHOLE world hear the good news that Jesus Christ was born…
all for ONE,
Jonathan T.
See, Be Overwhelmed, Go
That’s one of my take home messages from the National Missionary Convention. Put another way, it’s…
1. See the need (the harvest)
2. Be completely overwhelmed at the magnitude of it and the lack of workers for it
3. Go, remembering that Jesus said the fields are ripe for harvest and that He’d be with you
We just got back this evening from the convention that was held in Lexington, Kentucky. It was an astounding event and you’ll hear a bit more about it in a later newsletter. For now, though, let me just thank you for praying for us and providing the funds for us to go. (As you can tell, Isaac had a ball.)
We stopped by Harding University on our way down and had the opportunity to meet with Monte Cox, Dean of the Bible & Missions department, and an old friend of the Allisons. He was very encouraging and prayed over us, even introducing us to one of his honors classes so they could pray for us too. (Isaac and Nathaniel were ecstatic; they had their backpacks and were totally pumped to “look like college students.”)
One faux pas of mine was mentioning to Elizabeth, as we were meandering through campus, that the next time we visit this campus might be when we’re coming back to drop our kids off for college. Yeah, maybe shouldn’t have said that. At least not without Kleenex handy.

Well, I best be going. I’ve got 10 shifts left at the hospital, and I should probably get some rest. Thanks for listening, and thanks again for praying! May God consume us all with a passion for His glory, and may we be satisfied with nothing less.
