Dear Friends & Family,
Then Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
The above scriptures were the theme verses for the the National Missionary Convention. The theme was, “Commissioned, making disciples of all nations.” We were challenged by speakers to commit to the commission, to make real disciples, to go, to baptize, to teach, and to complete the mission. Besides the great preaching in the main sessions there were many great workshops for all aspects of international missions involvement. We appreciate your prayers on John’s behalf. The workshops that he assisted went well. We ask that you pray for the over 100 people that have committed to enter longterm full-time service as a missionary.
We want to let you know that the convention’s name has changed. It is now called the International Conference on Missions, ICOM. The new name better represents what the conference has become. It is not just a convention of missionaries. It is an international conference that includes people that are involved with missions in many different ways. It is a conference that discusses and explores missions from the perspectives of churches, missionaries, agencies, national believers, and so much more. Join us in praying for those that will plan the next conference to be in Indianapolis on Nov. 15-18, 2012.
Please pray for the upcoming Christmas and New Year outreaches that the Eternal Light & Good News congregations will be hosting. The two congregations will be working together on a Christmas outreach. On Monday evenings the Eternal Light congregation will be meeting to pray especially for these outreaches and their unbelieving spouses. If you pray on Monday morning when you get up you will be able to join them in prayer.
Thank you for praying for our children as we were traveling. Andrew and Moriah are both doing very well. They have enjoyed having less chores:) and visiting with those that took care of them.
May God bless you greatly as you seek to serve him through prayer.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
