Andrew & Ashlynn Gross
We are disciple-making specialists with One Mission Society. We are dedicated to collaborating with the next gen, bridging ministry gaps, and fostering strong community connections.
”Through our newsletter, Gross Fam Japan, we leverage this platform to connect with and inspire others, sharing the needs and opportunities for ministry in Japan and encouraging a global community to pray and support our mission.”-grossfamjapan.com
OUR PARTNERSHIP
Andrew & Ashlynn are Bethel members following God’s calling on their lives to serve as long-term missionaries in Japan. We happily support all of our missionaries and partners, but it is extra special when they are being sent out from Bethel. Help them gain new connections by inviting them to share with your small group or introducing them to others you think might be interested in hearing about their missions opportunity.
GET CONNECTED WITH BETHEL’S GLOBAL OUTREACH
God sees the big picture and has a big plan, and we have a part to play in it. We believe our part to play in His plan is in three key areas: global partnerships, global missionaries, and “GO” trips. For more information about this, subscribe to the Global Outreach Newsletter.
HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
PRAY
HOUSING NEEDS
We are looking for a semi-permanent place to live until we move to Japan. Please pray for wisdom and provision! So far we have been greatly blessed by the families who have opened their doors to us
and let us stay with them during these transitions.
UPCOMING TRAINING
During the first couple of weeks of November, we will be going to Indiana to attend our in-person Cross-cultural training. Pray for our minds to be rested up and ready to obtain and soak up all the
needed and beneficial information to prepare for our upcoming cross-cultural service. Also for safe traveling and a unifying time with our OMS team.
BALANCE
We have covered a lot of ground in preparing for Japan and still have much to complete. We have felt drained at times and supercharged at others, all in all it is a lot of work. Please pray for us to maintain and discover new and healthy ways to balance and execute our next steps well.
give
Gifts given to further the ministries of the
church are often one overlooked form of
worship. You can choose to give regularly
through Bethel, or directly on their
website.
Currently, Andrew & Ashlynn are still in need of committed monthly supporters. Thirty people committing to giving $100/month would get them to 100% of their monthly goal. They can also use one-time gifts to help with their start-up costs which are currently at 20% of their goal. These funds help with their move and arrival in Japan. It’s a great opportunity to consider for your end-of-year giving!
go serve
COMMIT TO PRAYER
Regularly lift them up in prayers as they continue to raise support go through training, and prepare for a big move. Please take one of their Prayer Cards as a reminder.
MEET A NEED
Consider if you or someone you know could help them with housing in Tri-Cities while they finish their support raising and preparations. Come alongside them as financial supporters. They are still in need
of committed monthly supporters as well as one-time gifts for their start-up costs. It’s a great opportunity to consider for your
end-of-year giving!
SPREAD THE WORD
Help them gain new connections by inviting them to share with your small group or introducing them to others you think might be interested in hearing about their missions opportunity.
