READ THIS FROM OUR E TN MISSIONARY, JOSHUA HAUN, QUOTING HIS SON, JUDE…YOU WILL BE BLESSED!
We really have been so blessed and amazed at the generosity and care we continue to receive from people who are excited with us about our ministry and our personal blessing of welcoming another little boy into our family. It has been incredible! We are so thankful for the people of ET. Last night after our Bible story Jude prayed and said, “Lord, please give all of our family in East Tennessee a great day tomorrow.” We speak daily about the love of our ET family.
The Hauns have been communicating their deputation commitments with me, and I will have the commitments already made posted on our district NMI calendar by next Wednesday. We should also have a new video, that Joshua & Katie are working on, at that same time.
WHAT’S UP? I apologize for the lack of a newsletter last week. I’m thankful for those who have asked “What’s Up?”
I was a presenter at the USA/Canada District Presidents’ meeting in Cincinnati last week…coming home last Wednesday, with plans to send out a newsletter as soon as I got home. However, the trip from Cincinnati that should have been about 6 hours was plagued with construction, so it took 10 hours!
WHY WAS THE E TN DISTRICT NMI PRESIDENT ASKED TO SPEAK AT SUCH AN EVENT?
It was not because of me, but because TN has a GREAT district council! They work together seamlessly, without concern over who gets the credit.
When Mission Education coordinator, Anita Adkins was asked to create a Ppt. lesson using NMI Central, she created not one, but five great lessons, presented to NMI presidents at our workshop at district assembly. More lessons will come online soon!
Then District VP/webmaster, Debbie Blair posted all those lessons under the Resources tab at
When Global NMI learned about our resources, I was asked to present about mission education at the USA/Canada NMI Presidents’ meeting. Praise the Lord for our great district NMI council.
PRAISE FOR ANOTHER COUNCIL MEMBER, JOHN BUTLER & HIS GREAT HELPERS AT DISTRICT NMI CONVENTION
The deputation offerings, for Rob North, $4,065 & Joshua Haun, $6,276, received at District NMI Convention were awesome!
When I recently learned that no deputation credit for any church had been given, I knew I could depend on John Butler’s records to get this corrected at Global Treasury services.
John ALWAYS sends ALL offerings to GTS within hours, but he first takes photos of the checks & the accurate lists of churches & their offering. So, after a long phone call to GTS, & resending John’s great documentation, we were told that it could take several weeks, but that ALL churches would receive the appropriate credit, and THAT IT WOULD APPEAR UNDER POINT TO POINT GIVING.
The last of the credit postings appeared on Funding the Mission the week after I returned from USA/Canada NMI Meeting.
I’ve carefully checked EVERY offering from EVERY church, and can assure you that credit has been granted for EVERY offering.
I can also assure you that this giving will make your apportionments for this year go down, not up.
