THECLIVERS.COM Updates and Communication From John & Sarah Cliver

What’s Next…

April 15, 2025 supplemental update

We are very thankful for all who have prayed for our financial support through this Spring. Though we fell short of our March funding goal, we believe The Lord is widening our perspective to consider that His continued provision may come through new employment outside of full-time missionary work. Though the level of our funding will not sustain my employment with Cru much longer, the vision for my role is still strong and I don’t want to limit what God may do by simply considering it a shut door.

As I re-engage with my ministry team, I’ll continue to follow up with others to ask for new partnerships, special gifts, and increases. The Lord may use this to meet our goal but even if not, new donations will help prevent short paychecks and give me more time with my Cru team as we seek the Lord for what He has next for our family.

2025 Spring Goal Update

We are so thankful for your response!

Additional support received so far this year

$500 new monthly commitments and increases

$5,780 new annual and special gifts

Progress toward our minimum funding goal

$2,150 additional monthly amount needed

A non-financial way you can (still) help

We are thankful of your partnership! As always, the primary response we ask of you is to pray and to be open to how the Lord leads.

As The Spirit prompts you, consider making an introduction. The Lord may use your simple initiation to a colleague or church small group friend to provide care and provision for our family in this time or even to preserve our missionary work for years to come! As a simple guide, can you think of someone for each of these categories that you have a cell phone number for?

A New Friend (since 2020)

Business Owner or Leader

Church Small Group Friend

We are made to experience blessing through giving to God’s kingdom work and the primary reason most people give is because they are asked. Consider simply asking if you can send some information about a missionary you support. To make it easier, I’ve typed up some text scripts (linked here) that can be easily personalized to send.
