$5000 Support Check from Trinity EFC, Amherst OH




Wendy-Jo & I, and Jeff & Kim Powell had a wonderful day of worship together with the Trinity Evangelical Free Church http://www.trinityefree.org/ in Amherst, OH as they burned their mortgage. Trinity is about 14 years old and they have experienced some very great growth. With burning their mortgage, they are putting those funds toward the expansion of the great commission through American Church planting and missions. In order to celebrate the conclusion of one phase of ministry (mortgage) and the beginning of the next (church-planting and more aggressive evangelism), they had a phenomenal worship service complete with their orchestra, praise band, special musical guests from A Fresh Wind Church http://www.afreshwind.org/ , releasing of a dove, great preaching by Jeff Powell, and scrumptious food. Additionally, during this service was the burning of the mortgage and the presentation of a $5000 check toward my support. They will also be adding me as a missionary for $400/month. Trinity also continues to support Jason Oesterling http://www.ikonmedina.com/ even beyond their original commitment and they are making plans to plant their first daughter church in Oberlin. Praise God for Pastor Arnie Fleagle, the Elders, Missions Committee, and other leaders of Trinity in Amherst.
