Midstream adjustments

Dear Friends,

I trust all of you are doing well. Judy and I have made some "midstream adjustments" in how we function with STADIA and with the JONATHAN PROJECT.

• We have changed our status with STADIA. Rather than work FOR STADIA, we are now PARTNERS with STADIA
• This enables us to be PARTNERS with other various church planting/global initiative organizations more easily.
• For example, we are currently in PARTNERSHIP with these three agencies:

1. STADIA www.stadia.cc
2. TEAM EXPANSION www.teamexpansion.org
3. OMF INTERNATIONAL www.omf.org

• As we enter other PARTNERSHIPS we will add names of organizations, etc.

It is important to note: We are still doing exactly what we were doing before this adjustment in organizational structure. We are still connecting people and churches with JONATHANS who are working with the least reached people groups on the planet. (UUPG's and UPG's)

For those of you supporting us financially you will still send your contributions to the same address and post number. We are keeping that system in place. Your gifts are all tax deductible and they will still come through STADIA offices and STADIA accounting offices. Do not change anything until we give you the green light! STADIA has been so gracious to work this arrangment at this time.

This past year has given us a clear direction of what we sense we need to be doing. JONATHAN is huge and we want to be sure that organizationally we can do all we believe we need to be doing...not only with STADIA, but also with any other Christ centered ministry carrying the Gospel to the least reached.

We will keep you informed...you can count on that.

There are two huge objectives currently on our plate:

1. I will be in Singapore, May 3-9. This strategic meeting is critically important to the overall direction and ministry of JONATHAN. I will give you more details upon my return.
2. We are doing the JONATHAN TRAINING for the very first time on American soil- August 2-13. The introduction of JONATHAN to American Churches is part of our foundational development for this global ministry.

What we are discovering is that we are training and teaching leaders of leaders. This ministry will be multiplied exponentially as we follow that course. And that is what we want to see happen- a true "movement of God" among the least reached people groups on the earth!

Thanks for your prayers and for your support. Any questions- be sure and be in contact via the info below.

Blessings,

Graydon and Judy Jessup

LAX

Dear Friends,
I am sitting in LAX waiting for my flight to Louisville, KY. JONATHAN is on a new venture in that we will be introducing this concept of church planting among the least reached to mission agencies and churches in the USA. This is a major breakthrough. All of our training has been done internationally. We are setting the stage, though, for our first full fledged training session which will be held in August. The trip this week is to lay the foundation for the Training in August.
Our team will be teaching for three days (Wed-Fri) and then on the 10th we will be opening the door for anyone who is interested to come and get a "full day preview!" Sometimes you wonder how many people will show up to an event like we are planning on the 10th! But this isn't just any day of "come and see what is happening?" This event on the 10th will be held in a 20,000 member church and hosted by one of the largest Mission Agencies in Christian Churches. In other words we have the possibility of 50, maybe 100, maybe 200, maybe even more who will come on the 10th to hear what is happening with the JONATHAN PROJECT.
Please keep me in your prayers this week- and keep our team in your prayers. This is a HUGE opportunity and open door for us. I'll write more when I am back home next Monday. In the meantime know that we are hard at work in this JONATHAN PROJECT!

With prayers,
Graydon and Judy Jessup
