Summer Support Surge

Hello Friends & Family --

This past week, I gathered with NICE/Outreach Oregon & Antioch Bible Church leadership to figure out a way to reduce my work load. Currently, I’m working 7 days a week between a sales job with Kraft Foods & Outreach Oregon/Antioch Bible Church. This has me pretty tired, along with missing valuable time with the family. We trust the Lord to help us in this matter.

In an attempt to make some changes, we (leadership team) decided that I needed to find a part-time (non-ministry) job so that I can give more attention to the Antioch church plant as well as my family. My Kraft job is a full-time position which is the main source of the long work week. This change will put us at a home budget shortfall which we hope can be made up through missionary support. We are hoping to gain “one time gifts” along with additional monthly supporters.

We know that not everyone is in a position to help as a result of the economy or because you’re supporting other ministries that you feel led to contribute to. If this is the case, we’d ask for prayer support instead. It means so much to us that many churches & individuals keep us in consistent prayer. It’s very humbling & makes us feel cared for.

Areas of need:
A part-time job
Additional support to make up for shortfall
More time to focus on pastoring Antioch Bible Church
Increased family time
Consistent growth at Antioch Bible Church

Praise report:
A family vacation spot has been provided
Leadership has been added at Antioch
Zachary Nyborg made a profession of faith
Strong friendships forming at Antioch
