NEW FOR 2009...

 

Welcome to the Bray Team Web Ministry Site,

 

            As I promised last year, this is YOUR ministry. Sure, I know this Website was primarily designed for the faithful Prayer Partners and supporters of the Bray Family Missionaries – and we’ll still fulfill that need as much as we can.

 

            HOWEVER, the older I get, the more I realize that this is team work and this website is more than just our family missionary letter on the Internet.

 

            As we begin 2009, you should be seeing this website morph into the new reality of the changing Bray Family Team as we respond to new realities. We are experiencing the most rapidly changing missions landscape since World War II.

 

            The return of our Lord is eminent. Plus, the financial recession is changing priorities here in the USA. Our ministry is turning more from direct action to mentoring, training, and supporting the “Next Generation” at every turn. What was once just wise strategy is now dire necessity!

 

            This is not only true with the indigenous missionaries we support through CIS and our rapidly expanding ministry at Overseas Students Mission, but also with the growing “Communications Network” membership of CIS.

 

            My vision for 2009 is that this website will still contain the personal news about the Bray Family you want, but grow more professional. I think we can still in the New Year. We owe that to you, faithful prayer partner and supporter but we must also change the editorial to reflect the needs of our new readers.

 

            We welcome your feedback and questions anytime. Write to me personally at bray.william@gmail.com and we will try to reply just as fast as we can. Please know that I am prayerfully reading over every letter, every email, and every prayer request that you send.

 

            Remember, YOU are as much a part of this ministry as I am!

 

                        God bless you as you enter into an exciting new year of ministry,

 

                                    Bill Bray for Ivy and the CIS Team
