Help Enlarge the Harvest

Most of you who follow the Meeces know we work for a mission sending organization in Louisville, Ky - Team Expansion. Wayne is the Field Coordinator for teams working in Europe and West Africa and Greta is the Member Care Associate and Volunteer Coordinator. Recently we moved to our new office facilities we call Emerald Hills. The site is well named, beautiful old 60 acre farm of rolling green hills in eastern Jefferson County - Louisville, KY. More than 320 Team Expansion full-time workers serve in 50 countries, among peoples of the world who are the least reached with the Christian message.
Greta and I have joined with our staff in an effort we call "Enlarge the Harvest". To truly Enlarge the Harvest, we need your help. Would you join us in building a solid future for His glory? Would you help us build our mutual capacity for tomorrow's harvesters, while stepping up efforts today for the sake of the world's "least-reached" peoples? This new thrust, "Enlarge the Harvest," will provide for...

• The launching of 25 new outreach projects among unreached peoples.
• Stipends and scholarships for new missionary trainees to build ministry partnerships with local churches and to get the equipping they need prior to going overseas.
• Completion of the new Prayer Center & Atrium at Emerald Hills.
• Regional "member care retreats" for workers in far-flung places.
• Bi-annual Team Leaders' Summit, to train and encourage our mission team leaders.
• A desperately-needed missionary guest housing "East Wing" at Emerald Hills
• Special field projects among our various ministries around the world such as: fresh water wells for Mongolia, a goat herd in Bosnia, a home for battered women and neglected children in Peru, etc.

We are looking for Partners who will pray for God to grant them the ability, when asked, to send a one-time gift for a specified amount (e.g., $100) no more than twice a year for three years. We're saying up front that each Partner will be asked once a year but never more than twice in any given year. This will enable Team Expansion to increase our ability to serve the next generation ofmissionaries, unreached peoples and church members.
