There are those who go and those who send,
will you partner with us to spread the gospel?
Just as we are seeking to honor God by using our gifts, abilities, and passions to spread the Gospel in Ethiopia, we want to invite you to partner with us in this ministry. As we step out in faith on this great adventure, we need an entire team to surround us and support us in this ministry. Prayer is an important and vital aspect of this ministry. God instructs us in Luke 18:1-8 that we "ought always to pray and not lose heart." Please check out our Pray page to see current prayer requests and let us know about your prayer requests as well!
Another way to be involved in our sending team is through financial support. SIM is a "Faith Mission" which means that we are required to raise 100% of our financial support. We ask you to prayerfully consider joining our sending team as a financial supporter. This is a great way for you to be involved in God's ministry at Camp Langano. We are all partners in the work of spreading the Gospel!

Praise the Lord! As of April 30th, 2012 we have received pledges for 100% of our monthly support. However, more financial supporters are still needed. There are a number of projects and challenges that come up during ministry that are all in need of funding. Also, some people may not be able to maintain their monthly pledges due to their own life challenges such as loosing a job. If there is a surplus of donations from one month, they will be kept in a ministry account and used for these other needs as they arise. If you have any questions about how a donation will be used, or if you have a specific idea or request for funding a project, please send us an email. We would be glad to discuss any ideas or questions with you!
Below is a break down of our current financial needs for this ministry.
Monthly Need: $3522
- Salary: This includes funds for our daily living such as food, bills, household items, toiletries and other similar items. Also included in this is our own tithe and support of the local church and other ministries.
- Housing: This simply provides us a place to live while in Ethiopia.
- Ministry: These funds will be used to cover additional ministry expenses such as training, travel and supplies.
- Health Insurance: This covers the premiums for our health insurance. Because we are not working for any company, we will be responsible for covering all of the premiums for health insurance along with the deductibles.
- Retirement: This is a small amount that will be put into a 403b retirement account.
- Administration: These funds will go to SIM/Sports Friends to help cover the costs of the many services that they provide such as accounting, counseling, visa and other paperwork processing, and much much more.
- Tax: Missionaries pay tax on their support called SECA, which is similar to the FICA tax.

Camp Langano is located 260 km and nearly 4 1/2 hours away from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Part of Bryan's responsibility will be gathering supplies needed for construction, most of which must be purchased in Addis Ababa. Therefore, we need to purchase a used truck to get supplies to camp. .
