Ministry Spotlight

You all know how much we enjoy math and numbers, and we particularly enjoyed the following numbers for just a taste of how SonSet Solutions has been true to its name.  We are most definitely providing technology solutions to advance the Gospel worldwide:

· During the first three quarters of 2018, SonSet Solutions assisted 166 ministries in 61 countries via equipment, service, consultation, and training.

· We shipped 141 SonSetLink™ water monitors between January 1 and November 27.

· We received GPS transmissions from SonSetLink™ monitors in 20 countries.

· Over the last 5 years, 235 units have reported GPS coordinates outside of the United States.

· SonSetLink™ water monitoring units measured 11.5 million gallons of water. 

· Since 2005, we have shipped 61,044 SonSet® radios.

· Power protection devices were provided for ministries in Papua New Guinea, Peru, Honduras and Liberia.​

We praise the Lord that needs are filled, and as those needs are being met, they provide inroads for sharing the gospel so that a spiritual need can be met as well.

Stress Scales

Stress scales---you know--those things assign points

to certain life experiences---to measure our stress levels.

• Job change
• Large car repairs
• Flood damage and repair
• ER visit
• Wedding planning

All things that if you look at stress scales, should push us over the edge (so to speak).  However, the faith journey of support raising has been so good for us.

We are getting excited as we are getting nearer our goal of 100%.  Thank you all who pray for us and for the sacrifices you make to support this ministry with your finances.

The flood recovery process is going well; we are still in the state of reorganizing things, but it's quite usable, looking nice, and staying dry (no more sump pump failures!)  Jean has no issues from the ER visit, but still has some painful flare-ups, possibly from gout.

We have had a two-part sermon set from our pastor at McCoy, here in Elkhart.  It has been a very good reminder that even though we follow the Lord faithfully, life does not necessarily get better. 

This was centered around the Bible text of Exodus. Just like Moses, it does not matter how we feel, what we think, or what our current situation has become. What matters is that we trust God, we remember that there is a plan, and that God will indeed accomplish each and every thing that He promised He would do.

It has been amazing--a lot of hard work, but completely amazing.  We are blown away and clearly see God's hand and leading in all of this.

Merry Christmas!

Our deepest thanks and gratitude to you as you’ve prayed and supported us. What does this mean? 

We’re reworking budgets and a seven-year old support schedule, and meeting with a partnership development coach. This includes looking at medical healthcare options through a lens of pre-existing conditions.

We’ll provide you with more details soon. For now, it means a lot to figure out in a short time. This is a big step of faith—so we’d sure appreciate your prayers for us!
