Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
With hearts full of gratitude, we write these lines to sincerely thank you for your ongoing support, prayers, and love for the ministry that God is accomplishing through the ETM organization.
The month of April was intense and filled with activity for our team. God has given us remarkable opportunities to serve and equip pastoral families who reached out to us for help in strengthening Kingdom values through our discipleship and mentoring program. Each meeting was a testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness, and we witnessed His work in the lives of those who sought to be built up, restored, and encouraged.
In addition, we conducted daily equipping sessions for missionaries through Zoom. These meetings were refreshing oases of encouragement, instruction, and spiritual renewal for those on the front lines of missions.
At the same time, we faced some significant administrative challenges. A main water pipe from the well to the reservoirs broke, and for several days four buildings were left without water. This incident made us realize just how essential water is and how difficult it is to continue daily operations without it. The trials did not end there — we are also in need of urgent repairs for three essential machines used in maintaining the entire property.
Dear friends, we kindly ask that you continue to pray for us, that God would grant us wisdom, strength, and the necessary resources for the smooth functioning of the campus and the continuation of this ministry, which requires both spiritual and practical commitment.
We look with hope toward this coming fall, praying that, if it is God’s will, we may continue to support and equip pastors and missionaries from other countries, as the Lord leads us.
As we close, we want to encourage you with the words of Scripture:
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your openness and love, which strengthen and encourage us to move forward in this ministry where we daily see God’s hand at work.
With deep gratitude and love in Christ,
Valentin Tent
