Thank You
for Your
Financial
Support
____________________

What you have read in this newsletter shares some of what we have been doing in relation to missions. Yes, our primary focus is here at Penn View Bible Institute [Penns Creek, PA] working with the Missions Division (we will begin our 18th year in this coming August!). However, our involvement in missions does not end there. What you have read in this newsletter reflects some of the positive impact we are seeing the Lord do through our lives.

Your prayers and financial support make our involvement possible in this unique ministry to missions. Without your partnership with us, our involvement would be greatly curtailed. For your involvement, we say “Thank you.” Your prayers are important as we face various battles relating to missions. Since we work with limited overhead, we are able to maximize the impact of our ministry finances. We endeavor to practice good stewardship. We are involved in this unique ministry as the Lord provides.

To better streamline the raising of our mission support, we are officially a part of Barnabas Ministries (remember Barnabas the encourager?) based in Lenoir City, TN and is directed by Rev. Rick Hutchinson. Barnabas Ministries appealed to us because it is not a “sending agency.” Its mission is to come alongside of missionaries and national leaders to help in any manner needed. Among their various means of helping, national leadership training at one level or another is a big ministry of Barnabas.

We selected Barnabas Ministries because of the necessity for ministry and financial accountability (we do not promote “Lone Rangers” in missions!). We did not want to create any conflict-of-interest by linking up with a “sending agency”. We work with many sending mission agencies and we do not wish to isolate ourselves from them. We believe that Barnabas Ministries will assist to be most effective in what the Lord is calling us to do.

Yes, we still work with Mission Helps, Inc. (we have an excellent relationship with them!) especially as we direct SíMO. Barnabas Ministries will only enhance our working with Mission Helps, Inc. (based in Lititz, PA).
If the Lord lays us upon your heart and you wish to assist us in our ministry to missions, you may send your donations to:

Barnabas Ministries
21070 Meadow Road West
Lenoir City, TN 37772

Make checks payable to “Barnabas Ministries” and in the memo write “suggested for the Mowery's.”

Barnabas Ministries is incorporated in the state of Tennessee as a religious non-profit organization, and is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) charity. All gifts and contributions are tax deductible.

If you have any questions about this new partnership with Barnabas, please feel free to contact us at 570-837-3232 (home).
