DID YOU MISS HAUNS, LEADING  E TN IN PRAYER, ON FB LIVE LAST SATURDAY, GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER? 
 IT’S RECORDED & POSTED TO ETN DISTRICT NMI FACEBOOK PAGE


The invitation below invites Bulgarian friends and soon-to-be friends
to a group meeting at the home of Missionaries Joshua and Katie Haun.  
Read request from Joshua Haun below invitation; see how you can be blessed, praying for the group meeting weekly.

Will you help us pray? You have been so faithful to pray for us. We know that it is through the powerful and affective prayers of the righteous, that God has brought us this far. We need your continued support as we journey. Help us pray for the growth, development, and work of this group that is meeting.  Pray for us each Tuesday at 7:00PM (This is 12:00 PM EST and 11:00AM CST). Pray that we can invite more people to this group, that the members of this group will grow in Christ, and invite their own friends, and that this group would be a blessing to our community in Sofia, and the city as a whole. Pray for our Bulgarian language ability. We are going to be having another course for Bulgarian beginning in March. I am not sure we will ever be finished learning this beautiful language, but we recognize the need to know more, so we can know our neighbors better, and share more deeply about Christ.   SET ALARM FOR PRAYER FOR BULGARIAN MINISTRY – TUESDAYS AT 12:00 EST AND 11:00 CST

GIVING FOR VICTIMS OF WAR IN UKRAINE
Those at E TN Ministers’ Retreat last Friday-Sunday were HUGELY blessed by the ministry of General Superintendent, David Busic.  We’ll long remember seeing ministers gathering around him, laying on hands in prayer, as he was leaving at the close of the Sunday AM service to depart for the Eurasia field where he will minister in 8 countries in a very short time.  Please pray for his ministry, as well as for those in Europe needing hope and encouragement as they minister to thousands of refugees. 

The most reliable place to receive up-to-date news about how the Church of the Nazarene is ministering in the Ukraine crisis: 

Many of you have asked about giving through NCM, for relief efforts in Europe. 
NCM tells us “The  fastest way for money to be processed is by giving online at 

www.ncm.org/ukraine

 with a credit card. 

It is okay, though, if people want to give by check.  We are THANKFUL for everyone’s generosity and desire to help!  I know those on the frontlines in Eurasia are VERY grateful!!
As far as checks, people can make checks payable to “General Treasurer” with a designation of ‘137043’ for the NCM Eurasia North and Central Europe Field Crisis Fund.
