Are you packing a shoebox to share the love of Jesus with a child in need on the other side of the world?  They need to be returned on November 16 or 23.  We are also continuing to raise funds for the shipping and processing of the boxes we packed as a group.  You can give through the offering by indicating “OCC” on the memo line of your check.

MISSIONS MOMENT with Durk & Sandy Meijer, Spoken

Celebrating the addition of another Oral Bible Consultant. I had the privilege of mentoring one of our unsung heroes: Greg Kwalombota from Zambia, who is serving the Mwenyi people. Earlier this month he completed the Spoken Worldwide certification process to become an Oral Bible Translation Consultant/Trainer.  He is joining our global team of certified consultants from Brazil, Ethiopia, Ghana, Myanmar, The Netherlands, Nigeria, and the USA. Soon we are looking to add even more, including people from Guinea Bissau and The Philippines, as well as Sudan. Greg, together with his precious wife, fathers eight children between 7 and 24 years. He has a PhD in religious studies with a focus on African traditional cultures. Greg has applied this as a Pastor, and it helps him dealing with the different ethnic groups in the church he pastors. In his ministry he has been serving oral preference communicators for more than 12 years and as such he has started 4 other fellowships in the region. He also teaches young pastors in colleges and universities ‘African cultures and ethics’ and ‘religious education’. Everyone supporting us through your encouragement, prayers, and/or finances, has been part of my opportunity to mentor Greg and in return I have been able to learn a lot from him. Thank you!
