Church Planting in Washington State

Dear Praying Friends,

A new year is already upon us. We have been busy this month booking our calendar with meetings, visiting churches, and making preparations to leave for Washington. It is our goal to be fully supported when we leave for Washington. It is going to take the dedication and prayers of local churches to help us meet that goal. Won’t you help us pray that God will provide the necessary money to be fully supported when we leave so that we might do a great work for Him in Washington?

Praise the Lord! We have had three churches take us on this month. They are Northwoods Baptist Church in Winston Salem, NC, Mount Bethel Baptist Church in East Bend, NC, and Oasis Baptist Church in Madison, NC. Thank you so much for your burden for the lost souls in Colfax, Washington.

We are supposed to be closing on a house in Washington at the end of February. The process is taking longer than usual because the sellers are in the middle of bankruptcy, so please help us pray that everything will work out smoothly and on time.

We are excited to announce a moving date for Washington! We will be packing up and moving on May 26th. We would like to thank Missionary Arnold Worley for agreeing to move us out to Washington. He will be taking our car and belongings across country for us and we will be flying out a few days later. We are so thankful that this has worked out because it will be a much easier trip for Jason. We have established a moving fund with our mission board to prepare for the trip. The cost of moving and the plane tickets is going to be about $3700. We have already had one church contribute to the moving fund. If you would like to help with the moving fund, please send the support to Macedonia World Baptist Missions and designate it - Moving Fund. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Jason went for his nine month checkup in January. He weighs 20 lbs and is 29½ inches long. He is scooting and cruising around everywhere. It amazes us how much he has grown and developed. We are truly blessed to have such a healthy, happy son.

We are praying daily for you and trust that you are holding us up in prayer as well. We are burdened in our hearts for Washington. We know that is where the Lord wants us to minister and we are longing to be there. Please keep us in prayer that the needed support will come in and that everything will work out according to God’s will.

In Christ,


Missionaries Tim and Jennifer Wall
