Links Missionaries
Tim & Michelle Eby
UPDATE ON THE EBYS:
After 27 years of missionary service, we will take our first sabbatical from June through August 2025. It will be good to step away from our responsibilities for these three months to renew, spend some quality time with our kids, grandkids, and parents before returning to service again in Africa. As we finish our sabbatical, we will then do our deputation tour across the USA.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- New Jesus Film Teams for 2025. There are 370 teams in 34 countries in Africa. Pray for them as they are reaching new areas and planting new churches.
- Church planting training and the new certified trainers that will be raising up new church planting leaders across Africa.
- Countries that are currently unstable and in turmoil. Mozambique, DRC - Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger, Burkina Faso.
- Our adult children and the challenges they are facing.
- Our 5 grandchildren, as they grow up in a unique world, and that each will choose to follow Jesus.
- Preparation for our upcoming Sabbatical (June - August 2025) and following Home Assignment (Sept - Nov 2025) . We are putting things in place for being gone for 7 months, as we will spend Christmas with our family prior to returning in 2026.

ABOUT OUR LINKS MISSIONARIES
We have been connected with our own "link" to the mission field!
Tim and Michelle Eby serve as career missionaries with the Church of the Nazarene in South Africa.
What does Links mean?
It started as the acronym L.I.N.K.S: Loving, Interested Nazarenes Knowing and Sharing. Now it's just called "Links" because the global Nazarene family is multi-lingual and the simple word "Links" can be translated into any language. We are thankful for our "links" to the mission field!
What are "Links Missionaries?"
Links is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarene districts around the world. It's a way for the local church to be involved with Nazarene Missions through regular correspondence from missionaries and updates from their field of service.
We will be giving you more ways to bless and encourage the Ebys soon!
