THANK YOU, JUDY DEWITT, FOR YOUR HARD WORK, KEEPING E TN CHURCHES INFORMED AND INSPIRED!
Each week, NMI Presidents, Pastors, and NMI leaders receive an NMI Newsletter from me.
Judy DeWitt, “First Lady of E TN District” is doing a great job as Office Administrator…keeping us informed of all facets of ministry and all kinds of needs on our district. She is editing an informative quarterly newsletter-with inspiration and news from all areas of ministry. In case you didn’t receive this quarterly newsletter, I’ve attached it. Any NMI presidents who didn’t receive it, please let me know so I can request that you be added to the address list. Attachment:
I’m grateful that the Quarterly District Newsletter that was sent this week informed readers of an important change regarding our W&W team’s accomodations in Tapachula, Mexico.
I want you to know the BLESSING behind the change:
We earlier reported, on NMI website, that the dormitory has been completed, and our team would be the first to stay there…
THAT’S TRUE, BUT THERE’S A NEW “WRINKLE.” ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, THE DISTRICT HAD YOUTH CAMP THERE AT THE CAMPGROUND….WITH 700 (NOT A TYPO)–700 TEENAGE CAMPERS!!
The teenage campers stayed in tents on the campground, and many of the adult workers stayed in the new dormitory provided by E TN Valentines for Jesus 2022. However, there was not time or funds to make the wooden bunk beds needed for the dormitory, so those workers slept on pallets that they brought from home.
SO, instead of putting our team in the dormitory, with sleeping bags, they will stay at a neighboring children’s group home, with beds and showers!
There’s one permanent rule for Work and Witness: BE FLEXIBLE! Flexibility will be the “Motto” for this, and, no doubt every future E TN District Work and Witness Team…
PRAISE GOD THAT, WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE, HE IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL!
NMI Leaders: Please notice that the quarterly newsletter has pages that would make great posters to be printed and posted around your church (I know of churches that even have places to post news on the inside of bathroom stall doors!)
Some of the pages have news that would be better copied into your newsletters or church bulletins.
BE CREATIVE AND SHARE THE NEWS THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR YOU…
YOUR SHARING IS WHAT MAKES COMMUNICATION HAPPEN!
