The International Mission Board is in the news, as our leaders announced a plan this week to deal with revenue shortfalls and "reset" the organization. “We must get to a healthy place in the present in order to be in a healthy position for the future,” IMB President David Platt said. “We
want to move forward with innovative vision, wise stewardship, and high
accountability to the churches we serve, the peoples we reach, and the
God we worship."
The reality of the situation requires that we reduce the number of
missionaries and staff by up to 15%. One part of the plan will be
voluntary retirement incentives. We don't yet know exactly how all of
this will affect us and our colleagues, but major changes are in the
works. Pray with us as IMB personnel and for the organization as a
whole, that we will be very sensitive and obedient to how the Lord leads
in this process, that He will be glorified and the Gospel will go forth
stronger than ever. (More details are in the IMB website article.)
Thank you so much for your support and prayers!
