Tim and Holly Howden have reached their ministry funding goal!

We are excited to announce that Tim and Holly Howden have reached their ministry funding goal! They have now transitioned into their next ministry assignment in DiscipleMakers’ Headquarters where they will serve in our Media Department.

Since January 2020 the Howdens have worked faithfully to recruit a team of partners to support their ministry with DiscipleMakers through prayer and financial support. Just after starting their support-raising journey, they were faced with the Covid-19 pandemic and had to shift all of their meetings online. The Lord worked mightily through many Zoom meetings over the past year and a half to faithfully provide for the Howden’s ministry with DiscipleMakers. “While our support raising journey was not what we would’ve ever expected,” Holly said, “we experienced God’s kindness and mercy through many brothers and sisters partnering with our ministry with DiscipleMakers. We are deeply grateful and eager to begin serving in the Media Department for many years to come!”

Moving forward the Howdens will be working to expand God’s kingdom on college campuses through the exercise of their creative gifts. Tim will be using his background in filmmaking to capture stories of how God is at work in the lives of students on campus and work to recruit more laborers to join DiscipleMakers staff in the harvest fields. Holly will be using her background in graphic design to draw students into Bible studies, outreach events, and conferences where the word of God will be taught and the gospel of Jesus will be preached!

“We could not be more thrilled to have the Howdens on board,” said Caleb Olshefsky, who works in our Media Department and mentored the Howdens through their ministry funding process along with his wife Kaylah. “Kaylah and I have had a front-row seat to God's provision for the Howdens over the past year and a half. They are going to be an incredible asset to our Media Department moving forward, and we are eager to be able to offer our staff and students even more media support because of the expertise and creativity the Howdens bring to our team.”

Please praise God with us for sending more laborers to our Headquarters to support the vital work of making disciples of college students!
