Region 5 Ministry News

West Central Region/Region 5 Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, Western Ontario Region 5 / Ken and Kam Webb - Ministry News & Updates   2008 2008 has started with a bang.  While it would seem like a slow time of year, so far it has been busy.  God is working overtime in our region.  We now have 34 staff members working in the region and several others who are not officially part of the ministry, but serve in many ways.    Some of the highlights so far in 2008: ●          Wayne Peterson, a chaplain from Minnesota was ordained at our annual conference.       ●          10 people attended our RFC area meeting in St. Paul, MN. ●          Our staff has covered two major car shows already and given out over 110 Bibles between these two shows. ●          Ken has been invited to work with a ministry at the NASCAR race in Bristol, TN with a team of chaplaincy students from Denver Seminary. ●          Our sending church had a great time in the month of February.  They brought home our missionaries to celebrate together.  We had a wonderful time visiting with our co-laborers and sharing what God is doing in the world of motorsports with the congregation.  Thanks Foothills Bible Church!       Thank you so much to all of the following people who gave us financial support in 2007 either through one time gifts or monthly support.  Without it we can’t do the ministry God has called us to.  Please forgive us if we missed anyone who should have been included.   Dave & Jean Affalter                  David & Lori Ash                              Tom & Sherry Assmuss John & Lorraine Bandimere       Bandimere Speedway                     Jim & Linda Baar Bill & Kathy Brown                     Dave & Jan Cech                             Cody Crispe    Larry & Johnna Crispe               Julie Dodd                                        Scott & Christie Ethridge Foothills Bible Church                Dave & Kristie Hagberg                   Jon & Marcia Hume Dave & Rita Jensen                   Kevin & Debra Jerome                    Cordis & Mary Johnson Michael & Michelle Johnson       Pete & Joanne Johnson                   Monty & Cheryl Jones Gary & Heather Keyfauver         Chris & Corrie Kozacek                   John Koenig Ed & Jan Kraich                         Glenn & Linda Kreider                      Roger Kuyatt   Terry Lacy                                  Wayne & Paula La Grone                Ken & Alice McGhee Al Liljekrans & Wendy Jensen   Scott Mains / MPG Head Service   Jan & Carolyn McNeel Morgan Lee & Kamie Minor       David & Cynthie Morgenthaler         Doug & Sharon Moxon Dave & Felicia Olsen                 Duane & Mary Parker                      RW Auto Center         Bill Rauch                                   Walter & Debra Rea                         Dan & Robin Reuter Marjorie Rieke                           Mike & Carolyn Roberts                   Bob & Linda Simmons Ed & Connie Schmeeckle         Michael Sisbarro                              Chuck & Pam Smith Terry & Patricia Smith               Tim & Becky Stensvad                    Dave & Barb Wade     Gordon & Marilyn Sundby          Michael & Darcy Thomas                Dave & Stacey Vlasicak Delbert & Carolyn Wagner        Gary & Alice Webb                          Jim & Dorothy Webb Anita Wherry                              Floyd & Diana West                         Neil & Debbie White Don & Patty Wolf     Gifts in Kind: Curt & Jan Liedke                                           Bandimere Family Lee & Rhonda Cooperman                             Stew & Melanie Squires 5R Trailers                                                      The Speed Shop   And the many people who have given things to sell at our garage sales   Budgeted for 2007:                           Actual Income:                                   Under / overage: Regional Director:  $60,000                $40,706                                               -$19,294   The budgeted amount is what would be required to fully fund the position.  As you can see we are moving closer to the amount, but have not made it yet.  The budgeted amount for 2008 is $64,500.     March / April / May Schedule   March 13-15              Bristol, TN - NASCAR race working with a team from Denver Seminary 19                    Colorado Motorsports Hall of Fame Inductions   April 12                    Test Day* 18                    Jrs.
