DescriptionGrantsExpenses
We are blessed to look back at what God has done through Desert Streams Ministry in 2024. We are so thankful to be able to travel again and visit missionaries on their fields of service. We traveled over 27,000 ministry miles on the road this year, as well as visiting missionaries by use of aviation. We were able to also help with buying and shipping supplies, as well as fish and moose meat for missionaries in the villages. We have served by doing maintenance on vehicles, appliances, houses, helped with mission field conferences, provided child care, and so many other avenues of service. We are also very thankful for opportunities to provide counsel as we interact and serve the missionaries. We were able to host about 20 missionary families for "fish camp" where they can come dipnet for salmon to help fill their freezers. God provided over 900 salmon for these different missionary families! In addition to the many face-to-face visits, we continue to connect with ministry families through email, text, phone calls, care packages, social media, and more. We were away from home doing ministry 150 days, and had missionaries overnight in our home for about 50 days - that is in addition to local ministries that we serve and all of our other avenues of serving missionaries. What a blessing to be a part of what God is doing!! We are so blessed by those who support this ministry through prayer and finances.$0$44,024
