Blessed & Happy New Year
The new year is filled with new opportunity to serve our King. It is filled with challenges as we seek to follow His lead. We enter the year trusting on His promises to meet our needs as our partners allow God to use them. If the Lord does not return it is our prayer that God will bless our efforts in this coming year and allow us to take full advantage of the opportunities that He has given to us.
Next month we head to the Dominican Republic for the pastors conference that is being planned there. It is our plan to train about 50 leaders in that country. This will be our second time on that island and trust that this trip will prove even more fruitful than the first. You can pray with us and help to meet the budget as we go. If you would like to join us for a short term missions experience it is not too late.

Board Member
At our Board meeting in December we had the privilege of accepting Philip Ginyard & Andrew Hart to the board of directors. I also introduced Mr. Richard DeLecce to the board, a dear brother in Christ who expressed his willingness to join us as a board member.
Please pray that God will help us to transform our board to an expanded working board that will be able to open new avenues for The GOGF in the future.

Name Change
One change that has come out of a strategic planning process that the board has been involved with for the last 18 months is a name change for the ministry. You all as our partners will get the first whiff of our new name. We didn’t want to go too far away from the name recognition developed over the past 47 years but we realized the need to re-brand the ministry in light of the global ministry that God has given to us. After going through a few alternatives we have landed on the GOGF International Ministries. During the course of this New Year you will see the change in our literature and various communications.
