Marrying me was a bit of a reach...

... in more ways than one!

God was indeed gracious to provide, in Nancy, a partner overflowing with gifts, commitment and passion for ministry. Our very first date was church ministry, and that privilege has continued since 1970!

You already know I am proud of my wife! You may not know how excited I am about the Women-to-Women Leadership Training Entrust provides around the world. Nancy is one of several who organize and shepherd this strategic transformational equipping. Entrust leaders have now multiplied this training to over 60 countries.

Any wise pastor will tell you that women are essential leaders in the church. Those are the leaders we equip in North America and globally. Did you ever think of the many women who put their husbands through seminary, and then find themselves on a foreign field ill-prepared for their own ministry opportunities? Entrust stepped into that gap years ago with Women-to-Women Ministry Training, equipping women all over the world and especially in the many contexts still existing where women have few opportunities to develop their leadership skills for the church.

Here are just some of the highlights of WWMT:

• Over 30 years of equipping women from over 60 countries
• 160+ participating missions, churches and seminaries
• 9,000+ trained worldwide, many involved in self-sustaining multiplication of training
• Interactive, relational learning
• Dynamic life-on-life mentoring and coaching
• Intentional multiplication of ministry leaders
• Developing and multiplying a lifestyle of serving the local church

Watch this 2-minute video for a quick glance at what Nancy is doing. You will sense the excitement in these learners from five different countries in this one group! (You might find the back of Nancy’s head in one scene.)

The very good woman behind this … Goodman!

Coming soon, our year-end update:

• A report about what I (David) am doing

Nancy and I are so thankful for all of you ... for your friendship, your prayers, your gifts and your encouragement.

And if you are participating in Giving Tuesday:
After the big meal, the big game, the big shopping day, comes that one-day worldwide charitable giving event called Giving Tuesday on December 3, 2019. If you choose, one way to express your gratitude to God is to give to one of the special Entrust projects of your choice and/or an extra gift to our ministry account (David and Nancy Goodman, M125). For more information, go to Entrust's Giving Tuesday page.
