Wrapping up the third of our spring Farming God’s Way training in partnership with the local Deaf church in Arba Minch, Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Pray 🙏🏼 for our team as they wrap up, and make their plans to return to the USA. They’ve had to reroute due to the war.

To continue providing support like this go to www.pioneerbible.org/jrbucklew and note “farming Gods way”

Our friends have just completed the first Farming God's Way training for a sign language community in the world! They selected 3 stand-out leaders and added an impromptu training in Hawssa, and will now be traveling to the southern region for some training this week. Please be praying for their safety as they travel and for success! Pray that many learn how to farm well so that they might be able to be self-sustaining, and that in the process they would come to understand the God of the scriptures.

If you have the capacity to give, we could still use financial help for this event. Go to pioneerbible.org/jrbucklew and add Farming God's Way in the memo.

Deaf Church planting in Ethiopia! 🧏‍♂️ ⛪️ 🇪🇹 Last month we met with our Deaf leadership team in Addis Ababa and successfully identified two locations for upcoming church plants. These Deaf leaders attended our intensives last summer and are part of our development pipeline. They will also be self supported Deaf church plants. One of these is particularly exciting because it will be the first in the entire region, and the local leaders are already preparing to cross the boarder and begin evangelism in Djibouti 🇩🇯 We are grinding away to plan out our in person trainings this summer that will take place in 4 different locations. Lord willing 150 Deaf leaders will be engaged over this year. 🙌🏼 🕊️ 🍷 🫓 🔥 💧
