PLEASE READ! NEWSLETTER IS EARLY THIS WEEK SO YOU WILL HAVE
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THE HAUNS…
+ REMINDER: *Rod & Sarah Reed Deputation Next Week…
+ Don’t miss great Missionary Story (attached at bottom of page )from our Retired Missionary, Rev. Dr. Geneva Silvernail
IF YOUR CHURCH IS COLLECTING CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM THE LIST WE SENT OUR FOR OUR MISSIONARIES, THE HAUNS:
When John & Sandra Butler took their Christmas packages to the Post Office last week , they were charged
$268 to mail package from Cowan Church! We knew that international postage is expensive, but had no idea that
this kind of expense may be involved. Since then, I’ve learned, from messages back & forth from Katie, that she
has received emails from 5 churches with tracking numbers of their packages. She said, “We have been so thrilled,
and know that the kids will be also.”
Due to high postage for packages, some churches may want to reconsider, and either:
1. If you’ve already collected gifts, like one church we’ve heard from: they had already collected snacks,
treats, & kids’ toys.so…
They will donate those items to the Disaster Relief for E TN Hurricane victims, and send a message to
the Hauns, explaining what they’ve done…
THEN, they plan on sending a message, telling Joshua & Katie that “Christmas Gift Funds” have been
sent to their PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT (Not deputation)…
If you want to send an a monetary gift to PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT, SEND CHECK TO:
Jace Haun (Joshua’s’brother) , 1400 Riley Drive, Lenoir City, 37771
OR
2. Send Amazon Gift Card to Hauns in Bulgaria…or-
OR
3. Send Card or email greeting, letting Joshua & Katie know you are praying for their amazing ministry…
and that you’re looking forward to attending a service during their home assignment, June 8-September 7.
WE WILL BE BLESSED TO HAVE THE HAUN FAMILY AT DISTRICT ASSEMBLY, WITH
RUSSELL & CARLA FRAZIER AS CONVENTION SPEAKERS…AND WE ARE PLANNING SOME VERY
SPECIAL EVENTS AT ASSEMBLY TO CELEBRATE FAMILY WITH OUR E TN MISSIONARIES, THE HAUNS!
Rod and Sarah will tour our E TN District next week, Novmber 11-17
