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.

Celebrating 30 Years of God's Faithfulness
 
This fall marks a very special milestone for our family: 30 years of service as Assemblies of God World Missionaries. As we reflect on the past 30 years, we are overwhelmed by the faithfulness of God and of His people who have stood with us in prayer and support. What an incredible journey it has been, and what a testimony to the goodness of the Lord!

Our missionary story began in the fall of 1995 when we were appointed as missionaries to Thailand. We had the privilege of partnering with the Thai national church at first in the capital city of Bangkok while we learned the language, and later in Chiang Mai (the largest northern city) through community outreaches, discipleship, and church enrichment ministries.

In 2000, the Lord led Nathan to serve as director of Asia’s Little Ones, the Asia Pacific child-compassion ministry of Assemblies of God World Missions. For the next two decades, we partnered with children’s homes, nutrition projects, schools, and medical care outreaches across the Asia Pacific region. Thousands of at-risk children received hope, restored health, and the opportunity to know Jesus. It was 20 years marked by transformation, lives rescued, families restored, and children who grew to follow Christ into adulthood and step into their own callings.

More recently in 2020, God directed our steps to New Zealand, a beautiful country with great spiritual need. After itinerating in the U.S. to raise support, we arrived in Auckland and assisted a church in east Auckland in planting a new campus location. During our second year in the country, we launched an online evangelism campaign for the city and ministered in the northern Auckland area. Although our time of living in New Zealand unexpectedly ended this year due to circumstances beyond our control, we are grateful to continue overseeing the Auckland online outreach. We have seen hundreds of people respond to the Gospel and begin discipleship journeys through this outreach!

Currently, we serve with Network211, an Assemblies of God World Missions ministry that shares the timeless Gospel through 21st-century technology. Network211 has now reached over 4 million evangelism responses worldwide, and we are humbled to play a part in this mission. Nathan also has the joy of leading the 1-2-1 Connectors, a team of volunteers who personally respond to people around the world who are seeking prayer, guidance, and hope in Jesus. We marvel at how God is using digital outreach to bring light to people even in places where the Gospel cannot be openly preached.

As we pause to reflect on the past 30 years, we recognize that none of this would have been possible without your partnership. Whether you are a supporting church, a faithful individual donor, or a powerful prayer warrior lifting us before the Lord, you have been part of every story, every life touched, and every testimony of God’s grace! Together, we rejoice in the faithfulness of the God who calls, equips, and sustains, and we look forward with expectant hearts to all He has yet to do.

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.
