I love my job! Thanks for all of your support!

Well it has been awhile since I've last wrote. I need to get on that more often. Hopefully from now on it will be once a week. I hope everyone is doing well! I've updated the layout of my blog as you can see.

Life is continuing on. Getting to know people has been fun and enjoyable. Lately, it has been work, work, work. But I really like to work, work, work. Philip and I have been working on some ideas to advance the vision of Overland Missions which is always enjoyable, brainstorming... thinking out of the box... how we can better reach and engage more people, more effectively.

As I've posted in previous blogs, we desire to build a real-time tracking network to track the movements of missionaries to better analyze effectiveness and to document our generation's progress to pass the baton on to the next generation. We've been speaking with the developers at Rimrocked. Check it out. They have an active and passive tracking solution. We spoke with him a couple of times this past week and there was a very open dialogue.

In addition to that, I've been working on an update report for Joyce Meyer Ministries. Joyce Meyer has a humanitarian arm called Hand of Hope. They gave a substantial contribution to The LIFE Project, Overland Missions' humanitarian arm. So I just completed that document. With its template we can use it for other donors.

This past weekend Amethyst and I had an opportunity to speak at her church about our future vision. We spoke on how we are raising up a team of over 200 prayer and financial partners to support us when we leave in two years to pilot a sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), specifically in the north-east part near Goma. This area was hit hardest with war, disease and famine. The Rwandan conflict in the mid-1990's spilled over to this area. This area has known nothing but devastation and corruption. We are excited to be deployed in two years.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will try to keep everyone updated on more of a consistent basis. Blessings!

Andrew and Amethyst

Settled in!

Since the last time I wrote, I've gotten everything unpacked and I'm all settled in. Amethyst and I are doing well. We're still busy with wedding plans!

Lately, we've been doing full-time support raising. If you'd like to become a partner in reaching the unreached, we would love to talk with you. Just give us a call. Or, if you would like to become a partner now, you can donate on the side or by clicking here. You can also call 321-452-9696, and reference code 3023.

My position in Overland Missions will be operations/fundraising. I'll be working with Philip in expanding the vision of Overland so that we're able to reach, disciple, and empower more people, more efficiently, in shorter time frames. A big part of this is through expanding sector management in size, budget and resources. Click here to learn more about sector management. Also, I'll be leading some short-term mission teams.

My work in the office is limited because of raising support. However, I've been working with Philip on some projects. We're in the early stages of implementing new GPS tracking technology giving us the ability to monitor the movement of missionaries. With a device the size of a cell phone, we can track the movements of our missionaries in real-time. Their tracking information (heading, route, time active, time stopped, speed, etc.) will then be sent to our server where we'll have real-time tracking on a Google Earth overlay. This will allow us to track the progress of reaching the unreached and allow partners to see results in real-time. Besides that, I've been working on some reports to be sent out to one of our main ministry partners for the LIFE Project.

Thank you for checking in! Don't be hesitant to keep in touch.
