“Changing our world one Life at a Time”
SCHOOL MIRACLES
September has been a very busy month for us. Thanks to your prayers. God opened up the doors and Josh starts school next week. It was a miracle we God Josh in. Thank you Lord.
WATER
As of yesterday we finally got the ranch’s water lines reconnected. I have been having a lot of problems with headaches and was unable to work in sunlight and praise God my neighbors came over and patched my waterline. They would not even allow me to pay. Thank you Lord for good neighbors.
TROUBLING INCIDENT
I also was able to help a pastor friend close down his church as they could not continue to pay rent. They will reopen in the future when the Covid crisis passes. I helped take a truck load of trash to the dump for them and I was shocked by the smell and by what I saw. It was the worst thing I have ever smelt in my life.
It rained and we had to walk in mud to unload the truck and I could hardly breathe the smell of rotten food and dead animals was intense.
On Top of all that I saw poor 
Please pray for the many poor people in our world who suffer.
FLOODING
We have had a lot of rain 
Thankfully no one was hurt, but with the lack of donations due to Covid it will be hard for them to complete repairs.
MISSIONARY FRIEND IN NEED
Lastly, we have a missionary friend who has his funding reduced and he has been unable to pay rent for several months, and he is trying to raise $2,000 to build a one room shed so his family will have a place to stay.
Please help him.
If you want to help designate it for Daniel and text me and let me know what you sent so I can get it to him as soon as possible.
Thank you so much for your Prayers and support.

Exciting News from Daniel Szymanski
Dear Bishop Bob,
This is Daniel Szymanski, I have some exciting news that I would like to share with you.
ACCEPTED In WYAM!
I have been accepted by Youth With A Mission to participate in a Discipleship Training School. On January the eleventh I’ll be heading to the YWAM base in Denver Colorado to start my DTS. The school will consist of three months of missionary training, and two months on an international missions trip.
LAUNCHING OUT!
As you know I was born and raised on the mission field. I believe it’s time for me to explore the option of being a full time missionary myself. I feel like my going to YWAM will give me the opportunity to further my training as a full time missionary, explore different cultures, and go on a foreign mission trip. This will truly be a special time for me to pursue God and deepen my relationship with Him. I am eager for this opportunity to step out in Faith and serve our God.
LEARNING TO TRUST
One of the things I learned growing up on the mission field is how God is always faithful to provide for our needs. The Bible says that there are those who are sent to the mission field and those who send the missionaries to the mission field with financial support. I have come to appreciate the way God puts missionaries and ministry partners together. This is my time to journey out on the missionary field apart from my parents. I understand this is a time in my own life where I have to trust God to partner me with others who will send me and financially sponsor my missions work.
YWAM TUITION
The tuition I need to raise for YWAM is $7,800. I am asking if you will prayerfully consider being part of a group who will pray for me and donate to my tuition. Any donation amount will be greatly appreciated. I don’t have a bank account so I am using my dads. He will make sure I receive your donation.

An Important Update and Request from the Szymanski Family
Dear Friends,
Water Woes
I know this ministry report is a little over due. We have been very busy working on different ministry projects. My latest ministry project came out of my complaining about our water supply for our home. Our tap water is not drinkable so we have to pay for the large bottles of water to be delivered to our home. Those water bottles need to be cleaned and brought into the house. They are very heavy and need to be lifted onto the water dispenser.
We just fixed several small water leaks in our home. We now have 2 major water leaks that need to be fixed. One repair requires tearing up our master bathrooms concrete and tiled floor. The other repair requires tearing up our newly installed tiled bath tub in Daniels bath room. Our house water supply is gravity feed so we have little water pressure. To get water pressure we have to run a water pump and it is very noisy. Each night I have to turn off the breaker and turn it on again each morning. That wouldn’t be such a big deal if the breaker wasn’t behind the refrigerator.
Water for Ugandan Orphanages
I have become annoyed with our water issues. Then last month I was talking with a pastor friend of mine. We have a mutual friend by the name of Patrick. Patrick is a 72 year old native pastor from Uganda. Patrick has started and runs 2 orphanages in Uganda. Patrick was talking about how the children have to walk 2 and a half miles to the river to bathe and collect drinking water. The children have to carry that water 2 and a half miles back to the orphanages, they have to do this daily. As i visualized the needs of the orphans my water issues seamed to be less important to me. I decided to partner with my pastor friend to fund the digging of 2 wells, one at each orphanage.. The first well is being dug now. The cost to dig a well is $2,500. $5,000 will provide the orphanages and the villages with all the water they need.
Matthew 10:42
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
Giving a cup of water is a blessing. How about giving a well that keeps the cups full all the time. Yes that is the right thing to do!
Widows in Santa Cruz
As a family we have decided to provide all the widows in Santa Cruz with food for the next 4 months. Santa Cruz is one of our mission villages we minister to. There are about 40 widows in Santa Cruz. We also gave each widow a pair of eye glasses to help them see better. God’s Heart is for the widows and orphans. It has always been our heart to love and care for the widows and orphans as well. Giving to them is giving to Father God. Loving them is loving Father God.
Matthew 25:40-45 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
Wow Jesus truly cuts to the heart. He does it because we need to stop thinking about ourselves and help others in need. When we help others we truly are helping ourselves. I encourage everyone to give of yourself today whether it be giving your time or your finances give to someone in true need. If you don’t know any one in need then join with us in our ministry to widows and orphans. We have had many people and groups join us in Mexico as we ministered together to the poor. I can say every one who ministers with us has had a life changing experience.
If you would like to financially help widows and orphans we can help you with that. 100 % of money designated for widows and orphans goes directly to them. Your donations are tax deductible when given to our nonprofit.

Hannah Hunter, missionary to Kenya will be sharing and ministering this Sunday, September 20th.

9 AM this Sunday: LIFE Ministries, Savannah Rapids in the Oak Room: 3300 Evans to Locks Rd, Martinez, GA 30907
The ministry she leads is Team Seasoned Heart, based in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania. The ministry provides financial support to the mission, as well as training teams to carry out missions in cooperation with Restoration Village Project, a Christian ministry to Kilgoris, Kenya. Team Seasoned Heart’s Kenyan mission trips include training youth leaders, ministering to widows, orphans and prisoners, and providing medical care.
We are privileged to carry HIS heart to East Africa from a base in Kilgoris, Kenya. We invite you to, above all else, pray in agreement with the Holy Spirit for HIS purposes for this region and the people. While we see God as our Source, there is the principle of the Sower and the one sent to the Harvest field and the blessing to both.

Ufa Bible Ministries Update and Special Request from Stas Karpenko in Russia
Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
September brings harvest here. We reap what we have sown. That prompts us to reflect of how we sowed throughout the year. The same concept holds the passage where apostle Paul instructs us to evaluate our endeavors so that we may remain in good standing. Jesus taught that we need to abide on the vine to bear fourth fruit. We have to bring Him praises for every smallest fruit in our life. And we ought to evaluate things in our lives that need to be improved in order to bring Him more fruit. This is doubly important as we all are passing through this challenging time.
So, “Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon”.
ESL School and School Year
In Russia, September 1st is universal day for all educational institutions to start their school year. But not this time! Due to constantly changing measures in regard to the second wave, we, along with other small schools, had to postpone the beginning of our in-classroom classes.
Please pray for soon beginning of the school year. We do continue our classes online but obviously our opportunities to discuss things, drink tea together with our students, etc., are limited.
Could you also pray for children here in Ufa and their families who are quite anxious about their children and the going back to school season that is upon us? This is like no other fall and is made increasingly complex by virus and its impact on economy.
Harvest Festival, Workshop
Please pray for our special Harvest festival service which we plan to hold on the last Sunday in September.We know that these are challenging times so anything might happen. For this very reason we still have not decided when our next Workshop might be.
Family
Liliya’s father is in the same health condition. Continued prayers are needed.
Tim has started to learn Bashkir this year.
As we couldn’t minister in the US this summer, that puts the ministry on edge of significant financial need. Last month we could barely meet our budget’s ends to pay for our websites. But we know our God is faithful. So, if God is leading you for a special offering for this ministry that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for being a part of our collective prayer efforts. Corporate prayer of the saints that’s what moves the Kingdom’s boundaries here in B-stan.

September Report from Stephanie Baughman, Tasmania
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Praise the Lord from Whom all blessings flow! That may seem strange to write in a pandemic in the middle of a week of isolation for me. It may seem strange to write when my travel ban exemption request was denied. Yet, through it all I am seeing God’s hand at work.
On the travel ban exemption, many of our prayers were answered, just not the big one right now. God has provided a place for me to live when I do return. It has a beautiful view as an added blessing although I’m just happy to have an address. He gave me an American economic stimulus check when I didn’t expect to get one having filed my taxes last year as a non-resident. This will help pay for the plane tickets home. He caused a Member of the Tasmanian Parliament to think so much of my service to the children that he wrote in support of my application. The application made it all the way to the Commissioner’s office because of that, but in the end, it was rejected saying “your circumstances do not outweigh the risk to the Australian people.”
So, what now? I settle in for a few more months of long-distance ministry, change roles to being more of a coach and encourager to those on the ground, and expand to local ministry in South Carolina.
On the Tasmanian front, we are preparing for LEGO Zoom Club this school holiday. God has provided the workers. I will actually only be doing the Bible lesson in club one day because others were willing. This does my heart good to see people stepping out in ministry. There are also older people who don’t feel comfortable on Zoom, but they will be mailing out prizes to the children who attend. The biggest prayer now is that God would bring the children to register for the club. Would you pray for 15 families to be reached with the Gospel?
Because of the Tasmanian COVID rules, each organization has to have a COVID Safe Plan that meets State Government guidelines. It is impossible to assure this is implemented and stuck to in the bounds of the law without me, the only paid staff, on the ground to begin in-person Good News Clubs. However, my former church has stepped up to allow Good News Club to operate under their umbrella so that the children can meet again! It is also not possible to meet in schools, so for School Term 4, we will be bringing 3 clubs together under one roof in the church fellowship hall. It will be a lot of work for the teachers with all of the cleaning procedures before and after each week. When I floated the idea out there to the teachers, many of the team jumped on board and were willing to do what it took to reach the children and be back together again. A couple are even willing to transport children who would normally have been at the Riverside Primary School club. We are praying for transportation for those at the St. Leonards Primary School club. I will continue to be involved with encouragement and guidance.
On the American front, I am looking forward to helping out once a week at Trinity Baptist Church in Cayce. I’ll be assisting the preschool staff’s own personal children with their online schooling. There are about 7 children ranging from kindergarten to 11th grade. It will be a challenge with so many different levels of work, but I am really looking forward to being with a classroom of children and young people in person again until I can return to Australia.
My other endeavour has to do with medically fragile children who can’t get out around others. My friends, who all the kids call Papa Henry and Ma Mary, and I will be starting a Zoom Kids Club for them. This is something I can identify with having to be in isolation so much myself. It has to be even harder for children. We will also be mailing out craft packets to the children so they will have a craft that goes with the lesson that week and some other goodies. Of course, when I return to Australia, the mailing will have to be done by Papa Henry. The good news is I will be able to teach the lessons on Peter that I have developed for our Good News Clubs in Tasmania next year. There will be some adaptations for these children’s special needs. If you know a child who is staying at home that could benefit from this, let me know.
Prayer Requests: ·
Praise God for answered prayer and for a way forward for Good News Clubs in Term 4. ·
Continue to pray for my return to Tasmania in God’s time. ·
Pray for God to bring 15 families to LEGO Zoom Club. ·
Pray for Sara and Ben who will also be teaching Bible lessons at the LEGO Zoom Club that God would bless our preparations. ·
Pray for the club in South Carolina for medically fragile children that God would show us where those children are. · P
ray that many would take advantage of that opportunity to learn more about the God who made them in His image. ·
Pray for all the technology to work both for the Zoom Club in Tasmania and the one in South Carolina. · P
ray for transportation so that the children at St. Leonards Primary School can attend Good News Club.
Together for the children,
Stephanie
