What a year!  As 2017 comes to a close it’s not only important to look ahead but, it’s also important to stop and see where you’ve come from and rejoice in what the Father has accomplished.

We are reminded that this ministry’s title is the meaning of our firstborn’s name, Abigail. Our prayer has always been that we would bring joy to Him!  Our heart is still the same today as it was when He started this ministry in 2014.   We want to bring a smile to His face through music, missions, and mentoring.

In the area of music, we have helped start a Saturday service at Church For All Nations where Bridget and I lead worship every week.  FathersJoy has also been involved in the Pavilion at Gig Harbor once a month in leading the body of Christ into worship and intercession for this northwest region.  In October, we partnered with Missio Dei ( our friends church – Pastor Tony and Shanda) in Salt Lake City, Utah in leading a night of worship as well as conducting a teaching on worship with our hosts worship team and guests from Boise Bible College.  Our hope in 2018 is to travel a bit more and partner with friends to do more Pavilion Events in strategic places.

In the area of missions, we have partnered with Fathers Grace Ministries to help build Casa de la Luz in Rio Maria, Honduras.  In July, Mark went to Honduras to brake ground on this mission house and by December we are 85% done with the building project.  In June, Bridget and I will lead a team of 11 people to spread the Gospel of God’s love to the surrounding area as well as add some finishing touches to the mission house.  We also continue to partner with Cleon, our dear friend we met over 20 years ago, who is a missionary to Albania.   Cleon is connected with YWAM and is a vital part of that ministry in Albania.  We were also able to host Eitan, our dear friend at Tents of Mercy, who ministered at Church for All Nations at our Saturday and Sunday services.  Not only do we want to continue ministering in Honduras, Albania, and Israel in 2018 but our hope is to expand in our relationships in order to help people experience God’s presence all over the world!  With your help we have been able to sow over $5000.00 into missions this year! Thanks so much!

In the area of mentoring, we have been busy pouring into the worship team at Lev Adonai ( our congregation that meets on Saturday’s).  Also, we have been pouring into our 2 oldest kids.  Abigail is flourishing in her love and desire for God – she is growing in Him and will graduate in 2018 from GK High School.  Abigail has been helping lead worship in the youth and is being used to encourage young people to follow hard after God.  Samuel, is growing as a worshiper.  He is our main drummer but occasionally leads worship from the keyboard at Church For All Nations.  God has entrusted us with these guys and we only have them for a couple of more years so we are spending much time pouring into these guys and we are seeing God’s hand on them in a mighty way.  We have also had many opportunities to connect by phone with young men whom we have mentored in the past.  In fact, Andrew an awesome young worship leader / song writer came up for the weekend during December.  It was refreshing to see God’s hand on Andrew’s life.  We were able to lead worship together while he was here and we also found some time to show a southern boy what a real mountain ( Mount Rainier) looks like.  Our hope in 2018 is for God to send us more young men and women who desire to be psalmists for the Lord.

In closing,  we want to thank you for your friendship, your love, and your support.  There are many great things happening in the Kingdom of God and for you to give you prayer and support to this ministry is humbling.  We could not do this without you !

The Moses’ thank you and ask for your continued prayer and support in 2018.
