"GET IN THE BOAT" was the theme during this month's crusades on Pohnpei, FSM (left), Saipan, CNMI (right), and Guam, USA. The genuine article lifeboat Mike and Vickie Oliver brought with them was an appropriate object lesson tool to relate to all our beautiful Micronesia and Mariana islanders! What a time we had! After the Olivers ministered over ten days, the Lord filled 107 souls with the precious Holy Ghost! left  Our gracious hosts (Pohnpei) Pastor Loriano Martin/family with the Olivers. below left Children offer the Olivers a warm island welcome. below GET IN THE BOAT! right Vickie Oliver and Kelley with Widow Williams who, with her husband, the late Rev.

Thankful

Click to watch a video

Last month we celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving and this month we celebrate, with our friends, their American Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for.

Enjoying Grampy & Nanny's Visit

We are thankful that Grampy & Nanny Sisco could come visit for a couple of weeks. It was a special time and we enjoyed having them. One of the forever memories was the baptism of Allanah and Stephen while they were here.

Baptized in Jesus Name!

Our hearts are full! 3 John 4 says, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." What a privilege it was to baptize both Allanah and Stephen in Jesus name for the remission of their sins. We are truly thankful.

Radio Ministry
Currently, we have two pastors seeing tremendous results through radio ministry.

3 Preaching points
25 baptized in Jesus name
11 filled with Holy Ghost

Thank you Partners In Missions for your faithfulness. You have given us the privilege to serve God in Ghana. We are thankful to you and it is our prayer that God continues to bless you and keep you by his power. Your support make missions in Ghana possible for the Sisco family. Happy Thanksgiving!

Our First Month

The Mbale children

22 Baptized in Mbale, Uganda

The Start of a New Chapter
 

 After deputation ended mid-August, we traveled to Texas and Arizona to spend time with family and to pack and send off our supplies to Uganda! What a job that was! We were glad to get that job done.  We enjoyed final days with the family.

We give special thanks to our oldest son, Justin and his wife, Tara, who helped us prepare for departure. Also, special thanks to our Arizona friends for all they did to help make things easier.

We arrived on October 11, 2013, early Friday morning welcomed by Missionaries Rev. Phil and Twyla Tolstad and many helpers to help with the tubs!  We truly appreciate all they have done to help us get settled in... THANK YOU!

Special thanks to Doctrine Seminar Supporters:
 

Mount Elgon Seminar
 

Our first trip into the bush was to the Mount Elgon Region near the Kenyan border. Special guest from Texas, Rev. Stephen Harris, was the Seminar preacher. Missionary Tolstad and Phelps taught doctrinal studies to the pastors, members and visitors. 43 received the Holy Ghost and 22 were baptized in Jesus Name!  Exciting Times!

West Nile Region
 

We travelled into the bush of the West Nile Region to the District of Adjumani working with Bro. Robert, the presbyter, and had a Sub-Regional Meeting! 25 filled with Holy Ghost and 10 baptized in Jesus Name!

Over 30 received the Holy Ghost in the Headquarters church the month of October! Rejoicing in what the Lord has done!

"How then how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent" - Romans 10:15

Update from Munich, Germany

 Greetings in Jesus’ name from Munich! Summer is over.  I waited this year for the “quite time” of the summer to allow me to get caught up. That never happened.  We whipped through Augustand into September, and with a few business trips throughout Europe and then General Conference in October, right into our Elisha Conference in Munich.

The month of September was a month of edifying.  We spent time giving Bible Studies to some of the new saints, and encouraging.  Most of this was either short Bible Studies, like“Into His Marvelous Light”or our“engaging”Bible Study,“Search for Truth II," which we are SO thankful to have in German!  We usually teach this from an Ipad or Tablet, and send PDFs of the study beforehand. The rest of our time was busily preparing for the Elisha Conference, our annual conference for the ministers, leaders and wives of the German speaking nations.

As General Secretary of the district, I have spent considerable time catching up on the years of history, as we needed to make a transition from one finance office to another, from one city to another. The process is ongoing, and is one of those tasks that are never really seen, but which are needed for the ministry to go forward.

 During our time at General Conference in St. Louis, we were able to connect friends from Michigan we had not seen for years, many other missions families, both in and outside of the EME region as well as many members of the Global Missions Board. We were also blessed with a chance to contribute a little bit to the effort in the EME Global Missions area as well.

Our Elisha Conference was a powerful time of teaching, fellowship, prayer, and along with a General Board meeting and our yearly ministers' business meeting. Brother James Stark taught powerfully on topics pertinent to the ministry here in the German speaking nations, along with Bro. Manuel Carvajal from Columbia and Bro. William Markham our EME Area Coordinator.

We thank you all as supporters and partners for your love, help and consistency—may God richly bless you for your share in the burden of Jesus Christ!
