The end of August marked the end of a season of service by Mr. Tom Wright as the PMU Bookkeeper.  We want to say a special thank you to Tom.  He joined the PMU team as our Bookkeeper during the transition that saw the PMU office move across the country in 2019. Since then, Tom has been quietly and faithfully keeping close watch on the financial side of the PMU house, including walking through the difficult season when the IRS lost the records from 1985 establishing PMU as a non-profit agency.  His quiet faithfulness is reminiscent of how the Lord told us to do our good deeds in the Sermon on the Mount. As Tom has been preparing to move on, he has been carefully training his replacement. In late July, he began training Mrs. Tina Mastilak, a longtime member of Grace BPC (Cincinnati, OH). Tina has been quietly and busily serving the church in a variety of roles and we are glad to have her applying her service to Christ’s Kingdom in missions with PMU. Please join us in praying for Tom and Tina as they serve the Lord in new capacities.
