Letters from the Jensen Family
24 Feb 2000
Greetings, in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Over the last year and a half, in my times of prayer, God has impressed upon me that I need not
give up my love for missions. With the encouragement of close friends and family, and with the
belief that now is the time, the work begins. I have truly been energized with the
prospect of
taking Third World Ministries and developing it to its full potential. Over the past few years I’ve
been overseeing Third World Ministries, but it has not been the kind of effort that it should have
been. To be honest, I needed a break. I believe that I can now, both pastor Grace Christian
Church and be actively involved in running Third World Ministries. I’ve been successful in
visiting the Philippines almost on a yearly basis. The work overseas continues to
progress, with
qualified pastors joining the ministry. The churches are growing and beginning to open up new
areas to plant other churches. So, this is my request.
I’m writing to new and old supporters of Third World Ministries asking you to pray about
supporting this ministry. Our work in the Philippines has been going since 1987. We now
support eight churches, eight pastors, and two staff members. All of them are Filipinos. Our goal
over the next few months is to raise $650.00 as a monthly support base. Over the next two years,
we are hoping to raise a support base of $2000.00 a month. Our goals are to increase the
number
of churches and to eventually build a Bible School. I will be going to the Philippines in April of
this year to visit our pastors and attend their convention. I will have the chance to visit all eight
churches and see their needs first hand. I will be mailing out a quarterly newsletter for those who
want to keep up to date on the progress of the work.
To those of you who can pray for us at this time, I ask that you would do so. To those of you who
want to support us financially, be a prayer partner, and for anyone who would like more
information, please contact me.
