Summer 2014 Update


Wow!  What a wonderful summer of ministry!  I am now entering my last week of the summer of leading teams here in the Harmon's Valley of Jamaica.  The summer we have led approximately 500 mission volunteers, built 20 houses, 20 foundations for houses, and carried thousands of pounds of marl up a hill for mixing cement.  That is not the most important thing we do though.  Building relationships while working along side our Jamaican friends and earning the right to share our story of God's redeeming love. We have seen Jamaicans accept Jesus as their personal lord and Savior and follow him in Baptism and others mature in their faith. I am constantly amazed of how God uses people when they are completely detached from all the stuff we have in our lives.  The highlight of my summer came during week four when we hosted two football teams from the Kansas City Area.  These teams are bitter rivals and yet their coaches and administrator of both schools believe that Christ is the common denominator in all of our lives, joined forces and brought them to Jamaica to work together for a common purpose. (total of 56 )TOTALLY AWESOME!  No issues whatsoever!  They came together and worked hard and bonded as one team.  The coaches/vice principals of these teams are totally awesome believers that live their faith out in front of these young men every day of their lives and what an impact they have.  As I assisted the coaches each evening with bible study it was awesome to see how God was revealing himself to many of these players that were not believers.  Before the week was over we had many conversations with young men who were searching for answers about God.  Two of these young men came to a personal relationship with Christ.  GOD IS AWESOME!

Exciting News from Bryan and Beth


Dear Friend,

Exciting news!  In the past two years the Fellers have been challenged financially, perplexed professionally and guided proportionately by our loving Lord and Savior.  God has brought us to the place of complete abandonment of our plans and dreams and called us to give Him every aspect of our lives.  He is calling Beth and I to serve as missionaries to Jamaica.  Won by one to Jamaica has issued a call for us to join their staff as missionaries to Jamaica and we have come to the place where our only logical response to HIS call is to quote Isaiah’s words “Here am I, send me.”   Won by One to Jamaica is a mission’s organization dedicated to meeting the physical and spiritual needs of Jamaicans in the impoverished Harmon’s Valley.  The Fellers family has been involved with this ministry for the past thirteen years and this ministry is very dear to our hearts. The organization has built over 500 new homes and repairs existing homes in the valley. It provides a medical clinic, economic development and meets the spiritual needs of hundreds in the Harmon’s Valley.  This mission organization host and leads 850 volunteers a year to make a big impact on a small place.  The Won by One experience gives people an opportunity to build relationships while serving alongside those who are in desperate need, and this experience embodies their mission statement of “changing lives by changing lives”.  Bryan will be a Director with the ministry and specifically be responsible for leading and guiding the volunteers (in which 450 of these volunteers are teenagers) that serve with this organization.  When not in Jamaica, Bryan will be writing curriculum, training and enlisting volunteers. Beth will be a valuable asset to the organization as she will be responsible for assisting, directing and enlisting medical teams to serve the Harmon’s Valley.

Astronauts cannot accomplish anything without the support of mission control.  Hundreds of people work tirelessly from blast off to touch down making sure that the astronauts have what they need to successfully navigate space and accomplish the mission.  Beth and I are now in the process of developing our mission control and we would love to invite you to be a part of our team.  It is not possible for all of you to serve in Jamaica, but it is possible for you to serve as our mission control supplying us with prayer and financial support.  You have been an important part of our lives in the past and we would love to continue on this journey with each one of you serving as part of our mission team.  Will you please pray about your involvement in this crucial journey in our lives?  We are stepping out on faith and trusting the Lord to supply our every need.    We are excited to see the team that God has called to strengthen, encourage and support us in this next journey in our life.
