Prayer Partner update 5/12/05 (s)

Dear Prayer Partners,

The presentation and video to the JAARS Center on the Philippines trip was received very well. A few people expressed an interest in going on a Short Term mission trip. I am finding myself naturally falling into conservations about Short Term missions. It is exciting to think about all of the possibilities to serve the Lord on a mission trip.

My next trip will be to Maryland and New Jersey beginning May 20. At a pastor’s conference I will be representing JAARS Public Relations department with programs for Short Term Mission Trips, Jungle Jump Off and Missions At The Airport. The display table will include literature from other Wycliffe Bible Translators ministries as well. The Calvary Chapel of Mexico has also given me literature to promote their ministries. The speakers at the conference were listed as Chuck Smith, Mike MacIntosh, K.P. Yohannan and Louis Neely. Chuck Smith will definitely not be at the conference, his doctors are advising him against flying. Don McClure and possibly Greg Laurie will be there.

This trip has a dual purpose for church relations to JAARS and for Partnership Development to my personal ministry. My home church in New Jersey has invited me to show a video from my Philippines trip on May 22. Another church in New Jersey is considering supporting my ministry and I may have an opportunity visit them as well.

Please pray for my transportation needs in that our Mazda broke down on the Interstate. My roommate, Frank, and I are working through these repair issues together.

A second prayer request is for my financial needs. I have a significant need in monthly support to meet budgeted expenses. Secondly, although I had received several verbal pledges for my last mission trip, we have not had any more receipts. The outstanding balance is $900.00. Lastly, I had handed out the entire 100 prayer cards; to order more will cost $180.00 for 200.

To join this life-changing partnership in my ministry with Wycliffe Associates serving at JAARS as a financial partner, chose a Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly or Other amount. For financial gifts, please send to the address below and on memo line include: Funding Code 8160

Make checks payable to:

Wycliffe Associates

PO Box 2000

Orange, CA 92859

Fund Code 8160 should be written on the memo line (my name should NOT be written there). A note indicating that the check is for the ministry of Dan King would be a good idea. The name and address of the donor should be included if it is not on the check. The donor will receive a tax-deductible receipt within a few days of the gift.

In blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ,

Daniel K. “Dan” King
