A Personal Note From Dan

Dear Friends,

Dave Luebkeman was impressed with how well resources were managed by EMM.

I am reminded of the wisdom of Proverbs 22:1 - “A good name is more desirable than great riches”. The Lord has blessed Eternity Minded Ministries with a good name around the world. That good reputation continues to open doors for significant ministry for us.

Dave Luebkeman is the CFO of Brookfield Homes in the Bay Area. He and his son, Brody, ministered in Burundi, Africa with us a few years ago. This time Dave brought his good friend, Carl Sekera, to Rwanda knowing both of their lives would be impacted. On our return from Rwanda, Dave sent me a note that demonstrated how important a ‘good name’ is:

“Watching Dan and his leadership team work with the Rwandan team, I was impressed with how well resources were managed by EMM. They worked closely with the Rwandans, ensuring money was well spent and the Rwandans were well aware they were being held accountable for the resources given to them by EMM. It's nice to see donations to EMM being used so wisely. EMM is definitely an excellent steward of the blessings God has entrusted to them.”

As we look towards 2010 we are eager to return to Peru. The pastors from the city of Tarapoto have invited us there for a long-term ministry much like we did in Iquitos, Peru from 2007-2009. We will begin laying the groundwork with the pastors of that beautiful city in early January and the Festival will take place in late spring.

The work that we do costs money, but the results are well worth it. Thank you for your faithful support. I pray that you will give generously towards our continued work in Rwanda and Peru in 2010. Your gifts and prayers are never taken for granted and they are always appreciated.

With Eternity in Mind,

Dan Owens
