THE SUN SET ON 2013 AND WE ARE OFF AND RUNNING IN 2014
OTHER LANGUAGE TRANSLATIONS Nathan Holt of Team Expansion is working with me and many others as we make contacts with missionaries or Nationals in other countries to translate the Peace Treaty. This week I was communicating with people who are working on versions in JAPANESE PHILIPPINE NEUR SWAHILI CHINESE GERMAN and INDONESIAN We will be working on finishing up work on the Korean and Spanish versions too. Other languages are in the works too. I have invitations in Europe to help train, India, Africa, Philippines, and more. Keep praying for this important work.
IMPACTING the WORLD through TRAINING TRAINERS (IWTT)
New Training Coming
I just held the first IWTT. It was a ‘dry run’ to try it out and see how to offer it in the future. The purpose of it is to TRAIN TRAINERS to go and train their people how to use the PT. It was a small group which included missionaries, preachers, church planters and others involved in ministry. It was very profitable. I’m taking my experience and their evaluations/suggestions and am now working on a full 2 day training in how to use and then train others in the use of the PT for leaders of ministries, missions, Christian Colleges, Church planting organizations and local congregations. IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING THE IWTT for your ministry let me know and we can schedule one for the future. john.hendee@cox.net
HIU ON-LINE COURSE IS OFF AND RUNNING We are finishing up week three of the 8 weeks.
This 8 week course is going to be a key way to train people around the world and country. Missionaries/missions Churches Church Planters Christian Colleges Christian ministries
There is a leader of a Church Planting organization in the Midwest taking this course right now. There is also a preacher who is having his entire staff of 10 take it right now too.
If you are interested in getting in on the next course write pbtowne@hiu.edu and let Phil know. If you have any questions write me at john.hendee@cox.net
A DRAGON SLAYER LIFE book should be available to purchase within a month. We found a plan B and are proceeding with that. More to come.
UPDATE ON SUPPORT
As you already know, we had a few churches stop our support for Team Expansion as we stepped out of PNHI. I expected that to happen and I understand it, although what I’m doing now will have a great global impact, Lord willling.
We are so grateful to all who have supported Team Expansion so faithfully for so many years. I’m happy to say we still have a number of congregations continuing with supporting this work and all the families that were supporting Team Expansion so. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL to one and all.
I’ve been trying to save as much as possible in the Team Expansion account knowing what was coming. While we have personal living needs, I have many opportunities to travel over seas to do PT training (Europe, India, Africa, Philippines, etc.) that will be very expensive (and I travel as cheap as possible). What we are now receiving each month will only cover our personal needs and office operations (my office is an 8 x 15 uninsullated Tuff Shed).
I may have to call on churches and people in the future for help getting to some of those places. We’ll see. I will try and stretch out what is in the Team Expansion account for as long as possible. It is going to diminish this year and may be pretty much non-existent by the end of the year. But it is a ‘cushion’ to have for now to help carry on the Team Expansion work.
As of now we are taking justs about a 40% cut in our salary from Team Expansion. We can do that and still operate and live with our S.S. and what I get from HIU for part time teaching which is also benefiting the Global work of evangelism training and equipping.
Our remaining anticipated support through Team Expansion will just help cover our living needs.
So we move on. God and his people provide. Thanks again for your prayers and support. Love in Him John and Carla For the King

Dear Global Partners,
Every year this time, I watch as stores fill up with Valentine’s Day chocolates, marshmallow bunny rabbits, and ads for Victoria’s Secret. (How did we get here? 🙂 ) The message I WISH the world would hear in regard to Feb. 14th is that “God so loved the world that he gave his only son,” but sometimes, they just don’t seem to want to listen. And in other regions, maybe they aren’t listening because no one is telling them. Your favorite Team Expansion worker joined this global effort because he/she wanted everyone to have a chance to hear the message of Christ’s love. Thanks to your help and prayers, Valentine’s Day 2014 can have an eternal impact. And that’s a LOT more than we can say for chocolate bunnies. Even if they do taste good for a while. God bless your month.
