Ministry Spotlight
New Missionaries
- The Beaumonts
As President of Drive-In Ministries and on behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my joy to wel-
come Chad and Cindy Beaumont as missionary candidates to Brasilia, Brazil. They are seasoned
Christian leaders as well as experienced in mission work, having gone on at least 10 mission trips
to Brazil and several trips to other fields. They are very excited about serving full-time in Brazil
with a Drive-In Mobile Unit sharing the gospel through evangelistic movies, street ministry, prison
ministry, and more.

Drive-In Ministries is a faith-based ministry, which means Chad and Cindy are responsible to
raise their own financial support. There is much to do as they prepare to go to Brazil. Their plan
to live in Brasilia, the capital city, means $3-4,000 in monthly support will be needed. Language studies will also be necessary,
Portuguese is the language of Brazil and we are presently exploring language schools and costs. In addition, one time moving
costs are estimated at up to $10,000.

They are hoping to get to the field within a year from now, God willing, but they will need many friends like you to come along
side to help. As God blesses you, I ask you to please consider financially helping the Beaumonts as they prepare for ministry in
Brazil. We believe their call is from the Lord and their commitment is genuine. We are committed to do all we can to help them and
highly recommend them to you for your help as well. May the Lord guide you as you consider this special opportunity to serve.
If you would like more information about the ministry work the Beaumonts are doing with Drive-In or to receive their newsletter,
you can email them at: acbeaumont1982@hotmail.com or send them a letter to: 6240 Venus Ave, Bartlett, TN 38134.

JIM2ROMANIA
Hello from Romania!! Summer is here, temps are in the
90s, and we are very in-
volved in ministry.
This is July 11 and we have
many places to go for min-
istry this summer! There
are 20 days left in July and
we have 16 of them planned for ministry! You can see
we are very busy! As always we can use more ministry
funds. It costs about $600 per week to do the ministry.

Return Service Requested
We have about 9 or 10 weeks left. I believe the fund
has about $1000 in it currently. The photo was taken
yesterday as we filled the van with diesel fuel on the way
to a village. The cost to fill was $60. The price of fuel
here is less than last year, but still is about 2 times what
it is in the states. Please pray for the work we do, that
we will contact many people with the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Also ask the Lord to provide the funds needed.
God bless you!
General Fund
This quarter is the most expensive time of the year for
DIM with mobile units traveling more, and more movie
meetings taking place. Extra gifts are much needed and,
of course, greatly appreciated! Thank you for helping!

Newer Van/Truck Needed
Every year our Mobile Unit vans/trucks grow older and
need more and more repairs and upkeep. Our newest is
a 2006 and the oldest is a 1995. These vans and trucks
serve us well by Gods grace and blessings.
As we look and plan ahead, we are very aware that 2-3 of
these MUs will need to be replaced in the next few years.
It has been amazing to see how God has provided the ones
we have, and it encourages me to ask if anyone has a late
model, full-sized van or truck to donate, or would give a
gift to purchase one. These are truly gifts that keep on giv-
ing!
