*If your NMI does not report (even though your pastor answered questions about NMI on his report)  there is no way your Memorial Rolll/DSA names, and other significant information,  can be reported in Assembly Booklet.  PLEASE take a few minutes to report, using any of three ways to report provided at  http://etnmi.org/forms/

No Reading Books/Curriculum Available from Global NMI,
but Here’s a Gift for You

The MidSouth District NMI has commissioned  a free curriculum, with a study for adults and one for children.  The adult curriculum is authored by missionary TeAnna Sunberg, and the children’s curriculum is from Kid Min Creatives.    
The MidSouth district  has generously shared the free curriculum,  so it is available to all districts  who wish to use it.

To access the curriculum, click here:

midsouthnmi.org/curriculum

Please read through the materials;  then share your opinions or issues with use of materials*, either on line, or at the workshop.  *As I studied the excellent children’s material, I noticed that the link to printables does not work.  I’ve report the issue to the creators of the material, and hope to have a solution by the time of our NMI Workshop** at District NMI Convention

We will explore ways to use these, and other mission materials at our 2023 District NMI Workshop, 3:00 PM, est, Tuesday, July 11, at Cleveland 1st Church of the Nazarene…Assembly/NMI Convention registration will open at Lee University soon after our workshop**, leaving you time for dinner before the opening service of district assembly.

Send email (click live link below) to indicate number from your church that will attend workshop

Another Gift for You 

Our E TN retired missionary, Geneva Silvernail, has written yet another wonderful story about her experience as a missionary in Africa.

This one, about a wedding in what is now eSwatini, is perfect to use at this time of year…June weddings!  Be sure to find the story attached to this newsletter!
