What plans does God have for you this new year- 2020?

Karen Gardner

"To expand “Covered and Kept Ministries” and to go on the reformation tour
May 2020. I believe that God is calling me to a higher level in my walk with Him
as well as in my ability to serve others in ministry. I am really excited with that
and looking forward to it. “Covered and Kept” is our ministry which is named
after my book. Our ministry (seven individuals so far) is developing media
partnering with missionaries and telling stories of faith, fitness and forgiveness
through our ministry."

Paul Zenk
"My plans are literally month to month as it has been since 1994.
I depend on God for every job. The last five years have been excellent so I antici-
pate that this year will be even better. I am a free lance Cinematagrapher. I work
in film. I am booked until July usually four or five months in advance. I am also
working with new clients in the church and even though I do secular work as
well, my joy is working in the Christian world."

Ivan Martinez
Currently members at SacCentral but called to Ameca, Jalisco, Mexico misionaries
since 2015. "This year I am preparing to do two Evangelistic Series, along with teach-
ing many classes to make friends and prepare the people for the meetings. Currently
there are over 30 people who are attending our group on Sabbath. It has grown so much
that we have to rent a hall in order for the group to meet to worship. I am also helping
another SDA group in the surrounding area to help their group grow as well!
The best and most beautiful thing that has ever happened in my life is the work that
God has given me to do in Mexico. I want to be working when the Lord comes!"
