“Mobilizing the Church Through Short-term Missions”

Our faithful friends,

      It’s hard to believe that in a matter of a few days that summer will transition into fall.  Soon leaves will start to change color, temperatures will drop, and we will gather around camp fires bundled in our flannel shirts.  Before fall descends upon us we wanted to take a moment to recap how God blessed during these past three months.  Most recently we were invited to be missionaries at Dublin Mills Community Church and to teach their preschool class.  God blessed us with over forty energetic children each night, twelve in our class alone.  After VBS we traveled to Shamokin PA to present the mission and preach at Calvary Bible Fellowship.  This friendly and generous church was such a blessing to our family!

We have also been invited to fill the pulpit for Pond Bank Independent Church for the next few weeks.  Matt has started a message series in Nehemiah called “God’s Building Manual.”  Pray for this church as they start to search for a pastor.

Matt also had a meeting with Westside BIC to offer them counsel and advice.  Overall we have been blessed these past three months with the opportunity to travel 2,916 miles, preach in eight different churches, teach at three different camps, participate in a VBS, coordinate with our local rescue mission, meet with countless pastors to encourage them during these trying times, and most importantly see at least dozen people saved and many more called to serve the Lord.  PRAISE THE LORD!

Please continue to pray for us.  God has continually amazed us by providing multiple speaking occasions to share the mission.  In the coming weeks we will continue to be with Pond Bank, Calvary Community, First Baptist of Brunswick Maryland, a mission’s conference at Waynesboro Bible Church, and speaking at

the Martinsburg Rescue Mission.  We also are attempting to find a way to minister with CEF online in our area.  Matt will be meeting with multiple pastors the next few weeks who find themselves at different seasons in ministry.  Matt enjoys encouraging these pastors.

      We also wanted to give you a family update.  For the first time ever all three Robinson children are in school at Heritage Academy.  We are so excited to watch God work in the lives of children as they continue to learn more about their Savior. Tiffanie has started working at the school as a teacher’s aid and Matt is helping with the morning daycare.  Continue to pray for them and us during this busy season.

    Covid has continued to cause trouble with raising support.  Many churches have put their budgets on a ‘hold’ and most are not taking new missionaries.  Tragically most churches are cutting missionaries.  Pray that God would open the doors for us to present in churches that looking to take on new missionaries.  We are also looking for individuals to join our giving and prayer team.  A HUGE thank you for your single gifts and regular monthly giving.  We are getting closer to our goal so we can start taking Christ honoring, life changing mission’s teams around the world and here in the U.S.
