News from the Nest

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your prayers and your support. We appreciate both more than we can express. Your generosity has helped us to work together at Equipping the Saints. We celebrated our 30th anniversary in July and are so thrilled to be able to do ministry together after all these years. It’s really nice to be able to work with your “best friend.”

This past week we had a group of older volunteers from Ohio work at the mission. The men did painting and minor repair work while the women sorted clothing and boxed it to be shipped. The boxes are taped, weighed, and loaded into storage for the next container. The boxes weighed between 35 to 50 pounds each, and guess who got to both weigh them and move them? (Lucky Kathy!!) Because the ladies averaged packing about 30 boxes a day, she really got a workout!

We leave Sunday for the EFMA (Evangelical Fellowship of Mission Agencies) conference and continue on to the TECH (Technical Exchange for Christian Healthcare) conference later the same week. We are looking forward to representing ETS and networking with other missions. We are blessed to live in a country with so much and are always amazed at how our contributions of clothing or equipment are valued by our missionaries.

Thank you for the privilege of being able to serve our brothers and sisters on the front lines of the spiritual battle for souls.

In Christian Love,


Charlie and Kathy
