In our last newsletter, we wrote about one of our students who was healed of chronic migraines during our winter SALT conference. We are happy to report that Colby is still migraine free & God is getting all the glory as he shares his story with friends & family.

After returning to campus, we asked Colby to share with all of Chi Alpha at one of our large group gatherings. After sharing his story, he asked if anyone there needed healing as well. A girl who had only been to two gatherings raised her had & we began to pray for healing.

When we were done praying, the student began weeping. She shared that the day before she had fallen & hurt both knees so badly that it was difficult to walk. As she cried in excitement, she also began to jump up and down. God healed her as well! Thank you, Jesus!

A few weeks later during the musical worship time of one of our gatherings, I started to sense that God was wanting to speak to someone who had experimented with some sort of ouija boards or tarot cards. I felt God saying that this had allowed darkness into their lives & that he wanted to set them completely free. Though I was nervous, I really felt that this was God.

I shared & asked anyone who felt that God was speaking to them to raise their hand. The sweet girl right next to me lifted her hand high & as she turned to look at me, I saw tears rolling down her face.

Her d-group leader & I were able to step out to talk with her. She shared that though she had felt she should stop using her tarot cards a few months before, she never got rid of them. She felt that they had been allowing spiritual darkness in her life & committed before God to get rid of them & to submit herself fully to the Lord.

After sharing with us, she decided to share with the rest of the body at the end of the gathering. It was such a powerful moment. To God be the glory.

God is still up to the super natural. But it’s not at just at UTK. What may God be willing to do in you & your church? Will you be bold to pray & believe?

We're Back!!
Back to Mozambique!
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted."
Hebrews 12:1-3
We're so excited to be back in Mozambique after being gone for quite a while. Shortly after arriving and getting unpacked, we along with all the other missionaries on our team left the country due to the situation in Maputo.
Mozambique is experiencing some political unrest due to the most recent election and its results.
Because of this, there have been many marches and protests from the citizens wanting to see change.
Our team of missionaries recently left the country for a time while this is
happening but we’re hopeful to be able to return soon.
 We’re in a very safe situation but we would love if you could pray with us for Mozambique and the people there. We have many friends who are there participating in these marches and are seeking peace and unity.
Hobie Andrew arrived on June 25
We traveled to South Africa.

Pray with us!
- Pray for peace among all political parties and government officials

AN UNEXPECTED TRANSITION
We want you to know how grateful we are for your prayers, encouragement, and support. Today, we have some important news to share regarding an unexpected transition in our missionary journey.

Regrettably, due to an unforeseen conflict we encountered between New Zealand income-tax laws and U.S. tax regulations, we unexpectedly have had to leave New Zealand. Despite consulting multiple tax accountants for months in search of a workable solution for our situation, we were unable to find one that worked for us. This development caught us completely by surprise and has been quite difficult for us to process!

Our hearts remain with the people of New Zealand, and we continue to run the online evangelistic outreach that has been so effective in reaching many for the Lord. As we grieve the loss of what we thought our lives and ministry would look like, we trust that God is still leading us, and He has a new and broader direction for our family.

In February, the Assemblies of God World Missions reassigned us to work with Network211, the ministry that has already been partnering with us in the Auckland evangelism outreach. Praise God, to date the Auckland online outreach has seen over 2,000 evangelism responses and over 300 discipleship engagements!  Through this transition, we will continue overseeing the Auckland online evangelism and discipleship engagement while also assisting Network211with its broader outreach efforts around the world.

Network211 is a dynamic AGWM ministry committed to using 21st-century technology to communicate the 1st-century Gospel. Its online outreach extends in multiple languages to people in over 244 countries and territories! Since its 1997 beginning, this ministry has seen more than 3.8 million evangelism responses and over 575,000 discipleship connections. We are humbled to play a role in helping expand this impactful mission!



While we are heavy-hearted that our time in New Zealand has come to an unexpected close, we are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as Assemblies of God World missionaries. We are so thankful to have ongoing ministry engagement with the people of New Zealand, as we work to share Christ’s love and message of hope with many more people across the globe.

Thank you for standing with us through every step of this journey! Your prayers and support mean the world to us, and we are honored to partner with you in sharing the Gospel. Together, we will continue spreading God’s message of hope and salvation to those who need it most!

Law Enforcement Bibles
For those pastors who work with local law enforcement agencies, we have a limited number of Law Enforcement Bibles that are available for you to give to law enforcement officers. Arkansas LFTL has provided the Bibles. If interested, contact the District Missions office and let us know the quantity you need. These are available as long as our supply lasts.
 
Back to School Prayer Focus
August is back to school month. Have a special prayer focus for students and educators one Sunday in August. Encourage people to pray regularly for the schools in their community. What happens in the schools in your community is extremely important. Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying, "THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCHOOLROOM IN ONE GENERATION WOULD BE THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE GOVERNMENT IN THE NEXT."
 
Camp 413
This camp is for individuals with special needs. Kirk and Pam Anderson, pastors at Decatur Assembly of God, have faithfully led this camp for 11 years. A special THANKS to Kirk and Pam who started Camp 413. Their heart and leadership for special needs people is greatly appreciated. They faced many challenges through the years to keep the camp going. Blake and Megan Boyd, their daughter and son-in-law, are taking on the responsibility to lead this camp.

Jessica Anderson, the daughter of Kirk and Pam, recently passed away. As Jessica’s grandfather, Bill Anderson, said "Jessica went on to heaven but left her wheelchair behind."  The Arkansas A/G Missions Department has established a scholarship in her honor for Camp 413.
Going UP,

Worship and Surrender
The past year, the Lord has been directing us to open our hands and let Him rearrange, give, and take what we are holding. This has led us to say yes to a few new positions within our organization. It has not been easy—because every “yes” means a “no” to something else—but as we take on new roles  we continue to trust that He will show Himself faithful.

Life in Mozambique is never mundane, and change is common—whether through natural disasters, riots, missionaries coming for training and then being sent out, or students graduating. Still, we had found a rhythm we had grown used to. Now, our “normal” is shifting once again. We aren’t leaving Africa, but we do need clarity and wisdom as we lean into what the Lord is asking of us.

Will you pray with us—asking God for clarity and provision so we can continue stepping into everything He has for us?

Praise is a posture of surrender and release to Jesus, and we want to remain in that posture. Thank you so much.

ALUMNI EVENT: Our past students—now in the marketplace, serving as pastors, spouses, and parents ❤️—gathered together to pray, worship, and commit to supporting our current Mozambican staff team. So many of them are in the Kingdom of God today as a result of your outreach to colleges over the past 11 years. Now, as adults, they are impacting the country in countless ways! It is incredible to watch them pray for and invest financially in local Mozambican missionaries so that more students can come to Jesus.
Thank you for praying.
We’d love to stay connected—how can we be praying for you right now?
Text Matt  your prayer requests or reply to this email, and we’ll be praying for you this week.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."  Romans 1:16
Hello, Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

   We hope you’ve all had a Blessed Eastertide – He is risen! – and that you’re looking forward to Summer! We’ve had a wonderful, eventful, and just this side of frantically busy, few months ourselves, so without further ado, on to the news!

   April and May have been very full, with every Sunday, save Easter itself, in a different church; all part of itineration, which has been moving forward, although admittedly not quite at the pace we might prefer. This is where “prayer in faith” comes in, more on that in a moment. May, apart from itineration, has been so eventful, that the reality is I don’t know if all the changes in our life have really “settled in” yet. Let’s recap a very hectic couple of weeks: in a thoughtful ceremony on 5 May at the annual conference of the North Carolina District of the Assemblies of God, Alisha became a Licensed minister and I became fully Ordained. In the wee hours of the next morning, Alisha and I drove to the Lynchburg area to get county approval to conduct Caleb and Kaci’s wedding (Virginia takes it seriously!) and help our kids move out of their dorms and into a storage locker at semester’s end. Thursday was Caleb’s Summa Cum Laude graduation from the History Department, followed by Nathan's 20th birthday and the Liberty University-wide Commencement on Friday, 9 May, and the next evening I had the wonderful privilege of commissioning Caleb into the Air Force. We didn’t really have time to catch our breath, though, as Sunday was Mother's Day along with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner for the big day: Caleb and Kaci’s wedding on 12 May! They asked me to officiate, and I actually managed it without crying (much)! A number of both Kaci’s and Caleb’s family and friends attended, some coming from overseas, and although it rained at an outdoor wedding (naturally, right?), it was still beautiful, and we’re blessed with new family!

   Two weeks before graduation, Caleb had been notified that his “report date,” when he would start active duty, had been moved from June to sometime later this fall, possibly as late as January. While initially disheartening (military reality: hard to find a good job, or even a place to rent, for only a few months, since Uncle Sam could grab you at any time), it’s since proved a wonderful blessing, a demonstration of God’s miraculous provision. When we heard about the delay, Alisha put out a prayer request via social media for housing ideas for Caleb and Kaci in the Lynchburg area; that same afternoon, another LU family wrote and offered the new couple a townhouse, rent free, for while they needed it; all they had to pay for was utilities! We were astonished, and Alisha teared up; we were both overwhelmed at God’s blessing. His mercies, truly new every morning, didn’t stop there: while on their honeymoon, Caleb wrote us to say he’d heard from his Colonel: the Air Force moved his report date back up to mid-August, only a couple of weeks before we leave for Germany! God is so very good: Caleb and Kaci will now be much closer to us for most of our remaining time in America, while still providing for their needs miraculously. “And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.” (Psalm 50:15 KJV) Over and over, we’ve seen God’s Hands at work in our lives, and the lives of our children.

   Nathan and Julia, both of whom had stellar grades again at LU, will be home with us for the summer; Nathan will be working locally in Greensboro (please pray for him to find a job, soon) and volunteering with Calvary Church’s compassion ministries, and Julia will be going to Springfield with us in June. Julia saw her doctors this week, and – again, God’s mercies! – her thyroid numbers are headed in a much better direction, a wonderful answer to prayer! June will see us mostly in Springfield for training and “Missionary Renewal,” and, we prayerfully hope, Headquarters giving financial approval for us to return to the field in early September!

   A little explanation may be helpful here: Assemblies of God policy is missionaries are not permitted to go, or return, to their field without raising enough of their estimated budget. The hard reality is, underfunded missionaries don’t, and cannot, stay on the field, and having to return to America due to money problems can be both devastating on a personal level and can set back the work, in some cases years. While we can debate whether these instances represent God’s Will (the missionary was supposed to come home) or simply poor preparation (human error), I think the AG policy is wise; there’s way more than enough stress on foreign missionaries without adding money issues into the mix, take it from us! Given these realities, with June approaching quickly and only $700-and-something per month short of our budget requirement, Alisha and I are prayerfully asking ALL those who don’t yet support us to please consider it, or those who already do support us to pray about increasing their pledge. Just an additional $100 per month from 7 people, OR $50 per month from 14 people, OR $30 per month each from 23 people would get us the “green light” to go, planting the church where it’s very needed! Think about it: only a dollar more a day, and yet it would help bring the Gospel and needed spiritual care to our troops overseas, as well as secular Europeans and Muslims.

   As we head into this Memorial Day weekend, as people stop to remember their family and friends who’ve given selflessly to defend our freedoms, we pray that you also pause to consider what it would be like, trying to make those kind of sacrifices without the Gospel, what it would be like to be far from your American home and family without even the comfort of a church in a language you understand. This weekend, as we think of all our servicemembers have done for us, we’re asking that you prayerfully help us to finish our fundraising, and get to the field as soon as possible; will you join us in bringing the Good News to America’s troops?

   To all of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ, who’ve been so faithful over many years in helping us fulfill Christ’s command to take the Gospel into the whole world, thank you, thank you very much – we cannot describe our gratitude. We realize not all of us will or can go into foreign fields, but we who do "go" appreciate immensely the prayers and financial care given on our behalf as you are part of the vital "sending". As always, please feel free to write or telephone us, and thank you again for your prayers!
 
God bless you,
Jeff for the Stamp Clan

Caleb and some of his AFROTC friends! We were able to visit LU this spring to see him in action doing strategic and tactical wargaming training for the whole detachment.
On one of our trips to LU we scheduled to have senior photos taken for Caleb. We were thrilled with how they turned out. Can hardly believe we have a college graduate!
During graduation week we were also able to celebrate Caleb's commissioning as a Second Lieutenant (2 Lt) in the Air Force. Liberty's President is retired Major General Dondi Costin, he was head of all AF Chaplains at the end of his AF career. So excited that he attended the service and chatted a bit more with our family. It probably helps that he and Jeff are both USAFA grads and have connected in the past over their shared experiences.
Wrapping up our week in Lynchburg was the grand finale ... Caleb and Kaci's wedding on the 12th of May. We still haven't seen any of the professional photos but here is a quick snapshot that I got during their first dance.
Absolutely loved that so many of Caleb's TCK friends could make it to his wedding. We had a friend as far away as Belgium fly in for the event and I'm so thankful that I took this photo because when people make the effort to be at your major life events,
you definitely want to document it and say "THANK YOU!"
During our full week of grad/comm/wedding activities there was also Nathan's 20th birthday that we took a few hours to focus in on, and also Mother's Day.
