UPDATE on Ari:

THANK YOU!!! Thank you, saints, for praying for and covering Ari.

It's truly a miracle she is alive and, in a hospital, receiving care!! We have firsthand confirmation now that a representative from the office is with her be her protection and advocate as Ari is an UMR. She was driven in the back of a truck for over 10 hours and was accepted to a hospital earlier this week. They are working through the details of her care as you can imagine it's a bit complicated all the way around: situationally, politically, and medically-physically. More info to come in the following weeks! We wait with excitement about God's merciful hand over her life and the path for healing (medically & emotionally) that He has graciously made possible for this precious one!! We love her sight unseen and thank you fellow saints for loving her as well!! To God be the glory!

Medical Updates for Prayer:

1. Only one side of her lower jaw was fractured, they will work on creating a plan for surgery.
2. The opposite cheek was fractured... this poses other issues, including breathing issues.
3. Pain, swelling, nosebleeds, extreme bruising, difficulty breathing and sight issues.
4. Oxygen and blood pressure issues.
5. She was able to communicate a few words - they now have confirmation of her language, tribe, and will work on gaining more identifying information over the next few weeks.
6. Knowledgeable physicians, nurses, therapists, and surgeons.
Availability of equipment and medically needed materials, medicines, and supplies!

Pray:

1. Psalm 136:12 That she would recognize the Mighty hand and outstretched arm of God; That she would recognize the Love of her Creator endures forever!
2. Pray for her understanding of Jeremiah 29:11 over her life and the plan He has for her!
3. Pray for her understanding of Job 12:10 that in His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
4. Pray for God's character to be revealed to her in dreams and visions of encouragement and Knowledge: Gen. 28:12-15 and Acts 2:17
5. Hebrews 10:35 that she would not throw away her confidence in the God she is 'hoping' exists!
6. Pray Acts 16:10 that Kingdom Siblings would rise up and be around her to bring the Good News! To disciple and be His witnesses in her life!

Dear Friends,

Your prayers and giving towards Tonya's health are moving mountains! Tonya's monthly treatments are not only giving her quality of life back but also enabled her to travel internationally over the summer. During her visit to Europe and the Middle East, Tonya was able to:
• participate in a training and development of over 200 missionary families serving in North Africa.
• hold strategic planning meetings with the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education in Jordan to prepare for partnership in 2024, including an exciting initiative called the POP (Posture of Purpose) conference for leadership development and relationship building among teen girls.
• begin planning a nationwide training with Ministry Education for English language learners.

When we started this journey, Tonya and Jonathan were facing over $480,000 in medical bills. The Lord has answered our prayers! Through various programs and sponsorships and the $21,000 raised during the first part of our campaign, the overall indebtedness has been reduced to just under $148,000!

This is nothing short of a miracle. We know that our combined efforts can eradicate the medical debt and free Tonya and Jonathan up to minister and serve as the Lord leads them.

A nurse practitioner and faithful friend of Tonya's accompanied her during her travels this summer. She shared,
It was a pleasure and honor to travel alongside Tonya this summer to Italy, France, Spain, Sardinia, England, Jordan and Israel. There were so many blessings along the way that they were too numerous to count!! The greatest blessing was watching the Lord heal Tonya during our 6 weeks of travel.
Thank you so much for your prayers - the Lord answered them in a mighty way! It was impressive to witness Tonya’s continued exponential physical improvement which included but was not limited to mental acuity, multitasking and physical endurance. We laughed as she ran circles around Jessica and me. She was able to provide intercultural training in Jordan as well as facilitate intercultural negotiations on behalf of UNESCO in Turkmenistan.
I have no doubt that the Lord has a huge assignment on Tonya's life. Miraculous transformation is happening in her health but also in her ministry and impact around the world. Cerebral lymphoma cancer is not going to be the end of her story! She is working on the initial plans for creating an Extraordinary Wellness Retreat Center in the middle east for pastors, missionaries and minsters. Even in the midst of all that, Tonya is continuing to serve the underserved communities through Hope Farm in Fort Worth and Dallas.

We know the Lord is far from finished with Tonya, her impact and ministry continue to grow. As someone who loves Tonya and Jonathan or someone who has been blessed by their ministry, would you consider a gift (or another gift!) toward offsetting the burden of medical expenses and providing financial freedom for future ministry?

Please prayerfully consider joining the medical campaign on GiveSendGo.com/tonya, the most advantageous platform where all donations go directly toward Tonya’s medical bills.
