Dear Praying Friends,

Doug is set to leave tomorrow - Saturday 23 April, 2016, for the second Mongolian teaching module this year. He will be accompanied by Pastor Dave Sincock and Charles (Chuck) Moehring. They will be teaching all week in the TRI-M sessions and then teaching on the following Saturday in the Baptist Bible Institute/ Seminary of a few of the "students".  Most likely the three will also be preaching at least once that next Sunday as well. A busy schedule but good one.

Please join us in prayer for 
1) safety during the travel both in the air and on the ground between teaching modules for both us the teachers and the "students" coming in for the training.

2) God's grace to be evident for the Mongolian students' families who also sacrifice to allow the men to leave them for a week for the training.

3) Protection and encouragement for the teachers' wives and families as we travel half way around the world from them. 

4)  Also Doug is hoping to begin working with a select group of the Leaders and Organizers on orienting them in teaching the Mongolian curriculum themselves to new future groups. Truly the Mongolian field is white unto harvest and the laborers (Leaders) are few. But more are being called and trained to train others 2 Timothy 2:2. Pray that this will be a good first step towards the Mongolians becoming a permanent part of this teaching.
 
5) Preparation for a new Tri-M teaching module in an Asian country a few weeks after Doug returns from Mongolia.

Thanks for praying for God to receive the glory through all of this!

Greetings brethren, 

We desired to update and let you know that I have returned from Mongolia yesterday. In answer to your prayer support, the teaching module went very well. The Mongolian Leaders chose a new location for this teaching module in order to expose this type of training to a new area. We are over half way in the training cycle of this second group of Mongolian Church Leaders. Being at this new location provided a great way to prime the pump for a third group to expand outside the major area of the first and second group of students if Jesus does not return before. The training seemed to go very well and local Pastors were very encouraged that we were there doing the training. Most of the students had to travel greater distances but they still came and were delighted to be there and support the expansion of TRI-M type training to new regions in Mongolia. Pastors Ron Berrus and Drew Fenstermacher were great in teaching their course material and connecting with the Mongolian Church Leaders (students) even with the challenges of the language barrier..

Also it was exciting to see God open the door for actively planning these Leaders to move towards taking on some of the teaching responsibilities. I will be meeting with them on next trip to discuss aspects of teaching these type of courses to Church Leaders and by the following teaching module we will plan on one or two of them co-teaching sections of my course to the Mongolian students. This is major step forward for these leaders and real answer to your prayer investment in these teaching modules. Thank you for praying GOD's will be done!

Doug also had a great meeting in a scheduled airport layover to connect and speak with a Church Leader representing a more sensitive country about future training. Amazingly even though we both were in route somewhere, we were able to connect in the airport and share time together discussing what God might open up for us to work together.    

One more item  I would desire to mention. The Mongolians have requested a Cam-recorder (possibly digital) in order to record the lessons being taught. Not all recorders would be practical as there would be need to copy and distribute the recorded sessions and the students hoping to use the recording may not have a way to play it back. It was suggested that this would expand the local training that the students could bring back to their Churches fro each teaching module. Also a MP-3 recorder would be a great addition for those without the technology for video playback. 

If anyone would have a Video recorder that they could donate, please let us know the details and we can discuss if that would fit their need. Our time frame is seeking to secure something by mid-April. Thank you for considering this matter.

Dear Praying Friends,

We trust you were able to continue celebrating Christ during these holi-day season of Thanksgiving and remembering Christ's first coming to show us God, and to die in our place.

We do want to let you know that with the New Year, the travel once again begins. Doug leaves this Friday for an exciting time of graduations in Tanzania. One graduation is at a new place that the Tanzanians themselves have done all the teaching up until this week! They are spreading out and planning on continuing the training concept of TRI-M in many villages settings throughout Tanzania. The Tanzanian Leaders requested Doug's presence at both graduations to show TRI-M's approval of these training sites and methods. This seems to be our "fading out" of regular teaching in Tanzania as the Tanzanians assume much of the responsibilities even opening new venues at their fellow Pastors' requests. 

So please join us in prayer for 
1) safe and timely travel - especially to a new village area for Doug.
2) The graduates will use their training to stay true to God's Word and disciple others, especially Church-Planters to send out trained and grounded in truth.
3) Wisdom for Tanzanian Leaders and Doug as they discuss the Tanzanian's plans and expansion of this training throughout Tanzania.

Please also pray for TRI-M Annual Meeting that will be going on 11-16 January. The Boisverts are not able to attend because of the scheduling conflict with this crucial Tanzanian teaching trip. However many significant decisions are being discussed and decided upon for the future of TRI-M. Please pray for God to bring each member together under the mind of Christ and  sense His clear leading.

Greetings friends,

This is just to let you know that Doug leaves for a teaching module in South Sudan on Wednesday. There is always a question of who can attend the training due to the great instability and poverty this newest nation on our planet is currently facing. THe unrest has not been in the area he is traveling but the economic disaster the country faces is very much present there. 

Please join us in prayer that we (Doug and the Sudanese Church Leaders) can all gather together around the teachings of the Word of God, that hearts would be encouraged to look past their current situations and into the gracious hand of our LORD and Savior Jesus! Also that transportation can be found for each one to come; food secured for the families left behind during this coming week; and the Sudanese teachers and Dr. Doug will be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading and emphasis as we teach God's Word.

Dear Praying Friends,
The Kenyan training program we are working with in Western Kenya is Christ Army Mobile School Of Ministry or C.A.M.S.O.M.  Doug and Cheryl have assisted in getting this school established under Pastor Thomas Odari's vision to "Release an Army of trained men to start Churches for the villages of Western Kenya"!

Pastor Thomas has expanded this training to include a Satellite Campus and added 3 other Pastors to assist him in teaching TRI-M courses we have provided for a full training program. Interesting these 3 Pastors expressed great doubts about being able to train men for ministry in a Modular and b\village setting. Now after graduating the first group of men,  these same Pastors are enthusiastically teaching as a part of CAMSOM.

We are excited to hear that Pastor Thomas has also added an internship to the training program. He has taken another Pastor under his wings and influenced him to plant a new Church in another village setting of Shibuli that has no Gospel outreach. It is far enough away from CAMSOM that transportation is costly for the CAMSOM students. However, it is close enough to take day trips if the students had funds for transportation. Cedar Creek Bible Church in Michigan has raised fund to assist these 14 students to be able to travel one week of the month for 6 months to spread the Gospel in this area. They will go door to door 3 days of the week and then devote one day to disciple those who have come to Christ.
 
PLEASE PRAY with us as they will be starting this outreach 9th- 14th July 2015!  Please pray for...
1) Safe Transport for the Church Planter, CAMSOM Students, and Pastor Thomas each month.
2) Bold and Creative outreach in sharing the Gospel of Christ.
3) Souls to respond to the Gospel in the village of Shibuli.
4)  The Village officials to remain friendly to this outreach.

Thank you for supporting God's work in prayer through TRI-M, the Boisverts and our African brethren!
