We’re excited to share some great news with you all: Joe Wenger has reached his ministry funding goal!

Joe was a hard worker, and the Lord blessed his efforts. Upon completing fundraising, Joe was already looking ahead to his assignment in our Headquarters. He said this: “I am glad to be in State College serving through the support the LORD brought in. Praise him for what he has done in this process and for his provision to send me to be part of reaching students with the gospel and making disciples of Christ."

Joe didn’t make it through this alone. His support raising mentor, staff member Jay Svec, shared this about God’s work in Joe during this season: “During Joe's support raising, he did a great job pushing forward and crossing the finish line! Joe took steps of faith that paid off: he had long referral chains leading to support, large unexpected donors, etc. I'm thankful to have Joe as a friend and a co-worker in the HQ—specifically in the room next to me!”

Already, Joe is hard at work in our Systems Department, having served there as an intern. Welcoming him back, department leader Jason Maas had this to share: “As an intern, Joe helped create a valuable software tool that many DiscipleMakers staff use. He's a great listener, and he eagerly works hard for the Lord. I'm looking forward to seeing what else he creates in the years to come, which will help us to build God's kingdom!”

Good work, Joe. We’re so thankful for the way you’ve trusted the Lord, persevered together, and invited others into what God is doing. We’re excited to see the ways in which you will help our Headquarters team thrive!
