Support these Missionaries!
During the 2022 Cultivate Conference, we highlighted two missionary families. We did this specifically to encourage you to support them. Get ahold of them through their contact information below, and let them excite your church for global missions! Perhaps you would like to support these missionaries but struggle to know if your budget will allow for it. Even if your church budget cannot support more missionaries, I encourage you to invite them to address your congregation during a Sunday service and/or special meeting. Give them a worthy love offering to cover travel expenses and invite individuals, families, or small groups to also support them. Opening up congregational support options beyond your church's budget will help get these missionaries on the field in a reasonable amount of time.
We highlighted the Spencer and Kayla Ewert family and the Sergiu and Victoria Matei family during our 2022 Cultivate Conference. Each of our churches has opportunities to invest in a variety of missionaries but here is why you should invest in the Ewert and Matei families.
THE MATEI FAMILY
THE MATEI FAMILY are Converge International Ministries missionaries heading to Moldova. Their home church is Celebration Community Church, led by Pastor Greg Heinsch, a great friend of the Converge Heartland District. Moldova is perhaps the most strategic nation for reaching into Ukraine, Central Asia, and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Sergiu and Victoria are Moldovan nationals who are already fluent in the Moldovan culture and the Russian and Romanian languages. Their existing cultural and language fluency is a critical competency for church planting work in Moldova. The Matei family carries our theological values and unique ministry capabilities. They will be strong partners for our District's efforts in the Black Sea region. Let's send them!

THE EWERT FAMILY
We highlighted THE EWERT FAMILY in our September 2022 Heartland News Update.
Spencer and Kayla are missionaries with Ethnos 360 (formerly New Tribes Mission), aiming to reach an unengaged and unreached people group in Papua New Guinea. They hail from the Converge Heartland District and are members of GracePoint Church in Ogallala, NE. They are well-equipped theologically, methodologically, and prepared for primitive tribal living. Let's send them!
