Smiths with AccessTheStory!
Hey there! Thanks for walking with us through this journey together. We're excited to see the increasing opportunities that God is opening up for us to see His Story have a greater impact on more and more lives.Queensland's Inaugural Verge!!! Queensland's first ever Verge took place this month and was hosted at YWAM Toowoomba. It was so great to have their current cohort of 16 DTS students along with 6 of their staff join us in this journey through God's Story. Thanks to Michael & Paige, and Haley and Sandra for helping to make this happen and for welcoming us into your home at YWAM. Some responses we received at this Verge event ...
“I feel more of His heart for us. The call to see His creation through His eyes.” – Sarah
“VERGE helped me slow down and understand His beauty once again.” – Anon
“My experience of God has changed through looking at God with a new sense of wonder.” – Jeremy
“I’ve been filled with a sense of wonder for the story of God!” – Mollie
“I have asked/answered questions I never thought of before.” – Tori
“I’d love to see this happen again! I really stand by the vision and heart.” – Hayley

Coming Up!!!
There a few ongoing conversations for various opportunities ahead. Please pray that God continues to guide and open the right doors.
In the meantime, Mike also has the following on his schedule which he plans to attend:

Financial Status!!!
So far over the last couple of years, Mike has been volunteering with AccessTheStory and is currently in the support raising phase which means that he cannot receive any income from this until he reaches a set level of regular support. It's been possible to volunteer over this time with Rayleen working full-time and Mike working part-time in his previous role that finished in June. We're currently making ends meet from savings, trusting that God will continue to provide.
Our hope is that we will have enough regular support coming in to allow Mike to transition to part-time (2 days per week) with ATS in early 2018. For this to happen, the level of regular support required is about $1,966 per month. We've reached about 28.8% of this, meaning we're still currently about $1,400 short of this level of support each month. THANK YOU to those who have already given. If you haven't already done so, we invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with us financially (either through a special donation or regular support). If you would like to partner with us in this way then please complete and return this Partnership form. Your partnership will not only allow Mike to use his time to focus on the work with ATS, but will also be an investment in seeing more lives access God's Story and be transformed through the Good News of Jesus, the Messiah. If you're unable to give financially, we still greatly value your prayer support and encouragement. Your prayers are essential and we can't do this without you! THANK YOU!!! |
The longer we're in this the more we see how desperately this ministry is needed.
We’re grateful that you’re continuing to partner with us and we want to say a big “THANK YOU” to each of you. We couldn't do this without you!
God has always shown Himself faithful to us and we're thankful and excited to see the increasing opportunities that He is opening up for us to see His Story have a greater impact on an increasing number of lives.
Blessings,
Mike & Ray
