Mission of the Month
Wink and Glyn Kelso are our supported
missionaries who have served throughout many
regions of the world: Asia, Thailand, Singapore,
Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Morocco, India,
Nepal, Philippines, Mexico, Peru, United Kingdom,
Hungary, Romania and many others.
While being missionaries, they provide both
encouragement and other various resources
(both spiritual and financial) to many other
missionaries. For example, they support over 300
missionaries in Thailand. Their ministry helps both
the missionaries and the indigenous people they
serve, ensuring that nations are discipled too, the
lost evangelized, churches are started, and
leaders are equipped and served. They network
with other Kingdom-minded ministries in the
pursuit of a global revival and awakening and the
Great Commission Fulfilled.
Examples of this are:
* SOS Getaways- hosting and funding retreats for
missionaries on the field
* Corporate worship, intercession, Ladies
ministry
* Indigenous leadership training, village
outreaches
* Rescuing women from sexual abuse and
trafficking
* Prayer ministry, counseling and mediation
* Special outreaches and short-term group
projects
* Networking, team-building and mentoring
* New music for the Kingdom (Wink is currently in
the process of recording a new CD)
* Missions/Worship/Intercession ministry in the U.S.
As you can see, they have a very broad
spectrum of outreach and needs. Please
continue to pray for their safety and the many
countries throughout the world to have openness
for the spreading of God’s Word.
Through First Protestant”s continuous
support, God’s love has been felt throughout the
world.

Community
Operation Christmas Child 2015
“Every shoebox offers an opportunity to share the
Good News of Jesus Christ with a hurting child.” –
Franklin Graham, President, Samaritan’s Purse
This year, First Protestant Church will once
again be participating in Operation Christmas
Child, sending shoeboxes filled with toys, school
supplies and other fun things to children in need
all around the world. For just $7, (the cost of
shipping), we can each make a powerful impact
in the life of children, sharing God’s love with them
this Christmas. Shoeboxes and packing guides will
be available TODAY in the corridor and can be
returned to FPC next Sunday, October 26.
Happy Halloween!
It’s time for the annual candy drive for
the wounded warriors and their families in San
Antonio. Please bring in any kind of
individually wrapped goodies and drop in the
box or bring to the church office. Monetary
donations are also accepted and
appreciated. For more information, contact
Pat Krause at [email protected].
