Greetings!I want to personally thank you for your continued support for the Keystone Project. Your prayers and giving have resulted in thousands of souls coming to Christ in some of the most unreached regions of the world. In 2011 we trained US and national missionaries to multiply disciples among unreached people groups in Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Mauritania, Liberia, India (Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Bihar and Gujarat), Mexico, and Mozambique. In addition, Keystone Project graduates and leaders have continued to multiply disciples in many other countries across the African continent, in south Asia (West Bengal, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand), and in Latin America. We also established new Keystone Project teams in India, Houston, TX, and Hawaii. We have Keystone staff working in New York City, Los Angeles, and in the Pacific Northwest. We were able to conduct trainings in Indianapolis, Portland, OR, Keystone, SD, and Wichita, KS.Personally, the Greene family continues to be involved in the mission of the Great Commission. Rick Greene works as a Keystone Project staff member in Keystone, SD. Jon Greene is currently in Thailand and Myanmar working to rescue children who are at risk in those countries. Dave Greene serves as a youth leader in Angola, IN. Will Greene is studying to be a doctor so he can serve as a medical missionary. Charlie Greene is also studying at university and using his art to glorify Christ. James and George Greene spent the summer in Peru, helping build an orphanage. What an awesome, joy-filled privilege as a father to see their passion for the Lord Jesus Christ!Please also pray with us for our persecuted brethren. We have lost 5 leaders to martyrdom in the last three years, Many more have been beaten, churches have been burned, jobs lost, and families have suffered hunger, fear, and poverty. Yet these precious disciples have continued the work with steadfast faith and joy.All of these things have been made possible by you. Your giving, your prayers, your encouragement, and your friendship have allowed us to bring Christ to the nations. We are so thrilled to be able to go to the darkest places and preach the Gospel to the lost, the poor, the sick, the oppressed - to those whom our Lord Jesus loves and died to save. "Thank you" does not adequately convey the depth of gratitude in our hearts for you.For His Fame Among the Nations,Richard GreenePresidentThe Keystone Project
