FROM OUR DAUGHTER’S EYES

Today, we have an extra-special treat! Our daughter, Kat, has been taking an interest in the ministry (reading up on some of our old prayer letters and participating in some recent events), and decided to write the following essay about us!

     My dad and my mom are missionaries. They reach out to churches near colleges to help college students learn about Jesus. Now, they are also trying to spread the gospel to video gamers. You may be thinking, “Why video gamers?” There is a pretty simple explanation for that. A large percentage of young people play video games (90% of teens), and many nearly every day. If people don’t try and reach them, there’s a whole chunk of the population that might never hear the good news. 

   My parents find Christians who play video games to equip them with all that they need to talk to their gamer friends about Jesus. So many people who play video games are introverts or very shy people. This makes it very hard to share the gospel with them. If they spend most of their time at home playing games, sometimes the only people they will be talking to are fellow gamers. That’s why they’re helping gamers learn how to talk to their friends about the gospel.

   Whether you play video games or not, I want you to be aware of how many unreached people are gamers. My family and I and an ever growing group of others are trying to reach those who have been seemingly unreachable so that everyone has a chance to hear the gospel message that has changed so many lives. Reply if you’re a gamer and you would like to join our mission to reach video gamers with the good news. If you don’t play but want to help, prayers would be appreciated. 😀

     Please pray for Kat, who has already shared her faith and seen people come to Christ! She makes controller-shaped chocolates to give out at events, and she’s helping us plan our upcoming Minecraft League Outreach in December. Stay tuned!
