We have calendars full with VBS, camps, conventions, and assemblies. Hopefully, a vacation is in there somewhere.

Be there with David and Shelly Webb, our missionary speakers from Costa Rica.

Please make sure YOUR church sends your pastor, NMI president and some others to bring the inspiration back home to your folks.

While they made the flag, they prayed for specific needs.

I hope every church will have a person going to Cuba this year! The Lord will bless your church as you send someone to Cuba with our teams.

Pastor Maromy Samuel and his wife are taking a medical team to Haiti this month!

Many thanks to Trevecca Community, Clarksville First and many other churches across the district for making a way to encourage the tornado victims in Oklahoma!
