29 November 2009 - 22:40Rez International Friends: Mono
Each week during service, we pray for a number of folks that Rez supports overseas. Mono is very dear to the Rez family, although many of us have not had the chance to meet him personally. We wanted to share the short bio on him below as an introduction for those who may not know him. Enjoy!
MONO
Many people at Rez today would count our brother Mono among the first people they met at the church and would attribute his welcoming spirit as part of what attracted them to our community. Mono was always quick to smile, and extended tremendous hospitality toward newcomers. He was a favorite among the children of Rez and his friends would tell you he could cook a curry second to none.In the summer of 2007, after having spent more than a decade in the States, Mono began sensing a call to return to the land of his birth in southeast Asia. He was burdened to share Jesus with his countrymen and women, the vast majority of whom are Muslim. So in December 2007, with a heavy heart at the prospect of saying goodbye, but with great excitement about how God could use our friend and brother, Rez sent Mono out.
After benefiting from a period of training and equipping with a church-planting ministry operating in southeast Asia and elsewhere around the world, Mono settled in a new town where his primary outreach consists of teaching English to the local young people, many of whom are Muslim. He has been exploring a possible radio show as an additional platform for ministry.
Rez supports Mono through prayer, love and finances so that he can proclaim the good news of Jesus among his people. For more information please contact elysebauer at gmail dot com. If you would like to send Mono a note of encouragement, please e-mail him at rezmono at yahoo dot com.
