To Full Support and Beyond


Full Support!

We have shared this with some of you in person already, but we wanted to let you all know we have reached our full support! Praise God for his provision! We know that many of you have been praying for us to reach our full support, and God has answered those prayers.

What’s Next?

Commissioning Services

We shared in our last newsletter that we are having commissioning services at our two home churches, Bible Baptist in Traverse City, MI on April 8, and Suber Road Baptist in Greer, SC on April 15. We are excited for these opportunities to celebrate what God has done and His call on our lives.

Visas

The main hurdle we still need to cross before heading to the field is obtaining our temporary residence visas. We began working through this process over 5 weeks ago, and we have learned that it takes longer than we originally expected.

We are waiting on a letter from the seminary in Mexico that we need in order to apply for the visa. Once the letter comes, we can set up an appointment to apply. We are praying the letter will come soon, so that we can still meet our goal of arriving on the field by the end of April. But we know that the timing is in God’s hands, and we will trust Him to provide the visas at just the right time.

Praise and Prayer

  • Praise God for full support! He is our Provider!
  • Pray for quick arrival of the letter we need from Mexico.
  • Pray for favor as we apply for our visas.

We can’t wait to arrive in Mexico and begin the work God has called us to there! But as we wait on His timing, we are learning to trust Him more and to see His good hand of providence even in the delays. God is good! Praise Him with us! And please continue to pray for us while we wait!

Collins Family Update: March 2022

Changing Ministry Location Many of you already know that we are planning to move back to the States in the near future. We have shared with many of you the reasons for this change, but if anyone has questions or concerns about this decision, please feel free to reach out to us. We are planning to arrive back in the States in mid-April, and we hope to see many of you then. We are currently pursuing an opportunity to serve in pastoral ministry in the northern Michigan area, and we are waiting for an answer from the church. While we patiently wait for God’s leading in our ministry change, we are continuing to serve in our ministries in Mexico, and we will continue serving via online ministry once we are back in the States. We expect to need missions support at least through the end of May, and perhaps longer depending on how God leads us in the next two months. We will do our best to keep in touch with our supporters as we learn how God is leading our family and ministry. We would ask ...

I've set some pretty big goals for the coming year.
