Shawn & Penny Clapp
Missionaries to Hispanics in Utah
Newsletter
Serving through Northwest Baptist Missions
After the Crandal Canyon mine disaster of August 2007, the group of Hispanics that we had led to the Lord and were discipling in the community of Huntington disbanded. Many returned to Mexico, others left seeking a diff erent type of work, yet others left the area for Wyoming to work in the mines there. It has been our prayer that God would begin something again in that community and He heard our prayers. Two Hispanic couples that moved here from Georgia on a temporary contract (9 months) for one of the power plants, found our church when they went to Walmart and saw our bilingual sign. They are living in Huntington and are excited to have us come and hold Bible studies on Thursday nights in their home. God is good! Even though they will only be here for 9 months, they love the Lord and have a strongChristian testimony and want to reach other Hispanics for Christ. Pray for us as we begin this renewed endeavor in this community and that some of the old contacts would join us and come to know Christ.

Newsletter
Serving through: Food for the Hungry (FH)
After graduating from Bethel College Indiana in 2000, Tim and Andrea never imagined being called to ministry service overseas. But, in 2008, God burdened their hearts for Muslims and took them to South Asia to help bring about holistic transformation to leaders, families and communities.
FH’s mission is to walk with churches, leaders and families in overcoming all forms of human poverty by living in healthy relationship with God and his creation. Tim and Andrea work to challenge the national staff to do this by encouraging them to become strong leaders and reach their God-given potential. While encouraging the national staff to develop and grow in their personal walk with God, Tim and Andrea also 1.) Equip and train four (4) national directors in servant leadership and management skills development, 2.) chair the leadership team and represent FH to outside organizations, and 3.) build relationships and provide spiritual direction to the organization.
