Jeremiah and April Markley
Jeremiah and April Markley have been a part of our church from their days at New Tribes Bible Institute [now Ethnos360]. They minister with Ethnos360 to the Dinangat people of Papua New Guinea. After learning the language and working with their teammates to teach the Bible chronologically, they saw many of the Dinangat trust Jesus as their Savior. They currently are actively translating the Bible into the Dinangat language, overseeing the language acquisition of new missionaries, and overseeing the local Sakam church and their ongoing growth and mission.
They are returning to Michigan for a year of home ministry this month. Significant expenses are being incurred for the flight home as well as getting resettled for their time back here in Michigan. Please pray for this transition and that our Easter offering will help them in special ways.
Joe and Ladaere
Milioni
Joe Milioni grew up at FBC. He and Ladaere have ministered with United World Mission for many years. From Uruguay, to Costa Rica, to all over South America, to Cuba, to Jordan, and now back to North Carolina – they have helped train church planters and aid them in strategically reaching their people. They are currently serving at UMW’s headquarters where they are ministering to missionaries as they head to various countries and transition from culture to culture.
Recently, Joe has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Life has drastically changed with regular dialysis, chemotherapy, side-effects, medications, and surgeries. While his spirit has been good, it is a very difficult time. Please pray for God’s grace and healing. We trust that the Easter offering will be a blessing to them.
It is the heart of our church to unify together to help these families in a special way. In light of this, any gifts given toward their needs will be divided equally and gifted to them at the end of the month. Please prayerfully consider how you can be a blessing to these faithful servants.
