This month please meet Frank and Sherry DiBagno who are presently retired from their work in Italy, where they have planted a church in Deruta, Italy. We began their support in 1980.

They returned to the U.S. in 2018 and Frank is presently the chaplain at a detention center in South Carolina where he actively continues preaching and counseling.

Frank and Sherry plan to return to Italy in April to minister in two churches. Their prayer request is for additional funds to pay expenses during their stay in Italy as they are lacking $800.00.

Please pray the Lord will continue to bless them in their ministry.

A charter member of Community Bible Church, Ellie Gross and her friend Darlene Williams, started the Joy Quilters in 2000. Ellie had moved to Minnesota and needed something to fill her spare time. The two women worked back and forth, between Ohio and Minnesota, to make baby quilts for needy children.

Ellie’s heart was always for underprivileged children, and many have benefited from that love. Upon moving back to Ohio, Ellie and Darlene, along with many others, continued to 

make baby quilts for missionaries to take to foreign lands. Also providing to crisis centers, pregnancy centers, and homeless shelters. In fact, one year 300 baby quilts were sent to Uganda.

The Joy quilters today still strive to follow God’s direction. A heart is attached to each quilt that reads “Wrapped In Jesus Love” John 3:16.  We are currently providing baby quilts and swaddling blankets to ‘Pathway To Hope’ a Christian pregnancy center in Hamilton, Ohio. Last year we provided them with over 100 baby quilts and 30 swaddling blankets for deserving babies and toddlers.

We would like to thank Community Bible Church for their continued support.

missionaries Bob and Debi Sayer, serving part-time as Ambassadors with Pioneer Missions, connecting with the Arab world since 1991.

On January 21^st, 2025, pastors and leaders from the 7 branches of the Koalib tribe in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan gathered to celebrate the beginning of translation and audio recording of the Holy Scriptures into their own language, a collaborative project between Pioneers Egypt and SRB. Translating and recording the full Bible in this remote village will take about 5 years. They eagerly await the day when they can read and hear the Scriptures in their own language.

The Holy Spirit compels Bob & Debi to continue to engage and serve Christ in His kingdom harvest work, by His grace and for His glory, especially in light of God’s kingdom advances. Hope has a name and that name is Jesus!
