Dear partners and friends of A4TW,

Have you ever noticed when God shows you something or deals with you about something, how quickly you decide it's for everyone else too?  

Well, God has been dealing with me about praying more for our missionaries and putting my money where my mouth is. Now if it really was just for me, please humor me and read this short post. 

When missionaries have come here in the past, Elizabeth and I prayed and agreed together on an amount to give them when we could. We felt good. The missionary felt good. Everything was good. The problem was that in a few days or weeks we mentally moved on to other missionaries, activities, challenges and duties. We love these men and women of God, but I have not been as consistent in my prayers for them as needed.

A monthly gift, no matter how small, will not only help our missionaries financially, but has a wonderful side effect. We westerners tend to pray more for what we support. Every time we see an online statement, a bank statement or a check register with the ministry we support, we pause and pray. That prayer for protection, strength or guidance may have been just what was needed in that moment. Our prayer support is far more important in the Kingdom than our financial. God already has all the resources.  Even though much of our daily activity is tied to money, I believe God can use this as a benefit.  

If you do not financially support indigenous missions, please prayerfully consider taking on at least one at just $10 per month.  You will eat the same food tomorrow, drive the same car and live in the same home.  You don't even have to write a check anymore. You can visit www.aim4theworld.org and click "donate now".

We are so blessed to have disposable income here. You can't even buy popcorn at a theater for $10; but you can be a blessing as God calls you to pray. 

Until the whole world hears,

Jeff Goldsberry 
A4TW Director 

A4TW is excited to introduce our newest member Jacob Pennington from Kerrville, Texas!

Jacob is a law student and is currently studying to pass his Bar-Exam. A4TW has recruited Jacob to do all of our domestic scheduling in hopes of growing A4TW's support base. Our number one goal is getting more prayer, and more funds overseas to the missionaries who really need it!

Jacob has strong organizational skills, web-coding experience, and a very strong theological foundation.

We are all very pleased to have him on board!

In a previous article (Power Made Perfect), I covered the struggles faced by Elizabeth Goldsberry, wife of A4TW Director Jeff Goldsberry. 

Elizabeth has had over 30 surgeries and literally has no stomach. The pain and physical complications that come with this living conditions are beyond our ability to grasp...

But the Lord is good! He is kind and merciful! This last Saturday, a friend of mine, Sergio Catana, who is another pastor of our church in Kerrville, was in Indiana to preach at various churches. I arranged for Sergio to meet the Goldsberry's and the incredible happened....

God COMPLETELY healed Elizabeth!!!

After years of pain and struggle, she found relief. Jeff called me Saturday with great joy to tell me that she was able to eat anything she could get her hands on.

Today, Jeff's praise for his wife continues! Keep praying, and keep faithful, God is listening.

​Be Blessed.

Friday, January 8, 2016, after our A4TW board meeting, the Director Jeff Goldsberry along with his wife, Elizabeth, joined my wife and I for dinner at BJ's Brew-house in San Antonio, TX. This was the first opportunity for my wife and I to meet Elizabeth.

As we walked in, the restaurant was large, open, and buzzing with people. It made a great dinner atmosphere.  The food was fantastic as well. We spoke about the direction of A4TW and about our children, the conversation even led into biblical discussion and some of my corny bible jokes. All in all it was a wonderful night.

Friday, January 8, 2016, Aim 4 The World held a meeting for our new outreach team (stateside) as well as had our January board meeting. For those who are unaware, our board consists of Jeff Goldsberry, Dexter Stapelton, Bo Bowman, and Darrin Miller (Website). We also have Ed Skidmore (Website), and Danny Thompson coming to the A4TW church outreach team. 

During our two meetings, we discussed the overall vision and goals of A4TW as well as many world and ministry statistics that prove the need for Indigenous Missions and ministries like A4TW that support them. We also identified many of our strengths and weaknesses and have put forth motions to build a stronger better version of A4TW that will have a greater impact on all the ministries involved. Here are some of our goals:

•  We are looking for a part time employee to handle all the A4TW and missionary scheduling.
• We are adding 4 new ministers to our church outreach to help get more prayer and funds to our missionaries.
• We are changing our newsletter and social media format in hopes of sending $500,000 overseas into the mission field this year.
• We  are making plans to personally visit our missions every year, starting with 5 missions in 2016.
• Many other things are happening hoping to increase our ability to reach the unreached. Praise the Lord!

For those of you unaware, Marilyn Colley, AIM founder Jim Colley's wife, passed on June 25, 2015 . Her daughter Shannon was by her side.


Her memorial service will be Tuesday, July 16, 2015 at 10:30 a.m.

The service will be at First Presbyterian Church of Ingram, 101 Webb Ave, Ingram, TX 78025.


It was a blessing to know her, and A4TW thanks all of you who faithfully supported her over the years. Please send any future checks, or resend recent checks, in the name of Shannon Colley, so that she may use the funds properly.
