We're coming home!

I (Gina) just signed a contract to go from being a "volunteer" to becoming a "specialized assignment missionary" starting on Feb. 1. This is a really exciting confirmation of God's call on our lives, and what we are doing in both regional missions and global missions.

While most of my job responsibilities and everything that goes with that will all stay the same, one new thing that comes with this designation is that we are required to return to the States for 2-3 months and do a speaking tour in churches.

We were already planning a fundraising trip home and so have partially scheduled a speaking tour. We have lots of dates still open, however. If you would like us to come and speak to your church, group, Sunday school class, home school group, classroom, youth group, children's church or anything else, here are some of the dates we still have available:

March 22-April 10
May 8-18
May 20-May 31
June 11-14

We will mostly be in Hawaii, Colorado, Oklahoma and possibly W. Virginia North. If you have an opening on one of the dates above, and we can get to you, we would love to come and share what God is doing in Eurasia and around the world!

Here is where we are planning to be in May and June at this point:

March 18: Fly into Colorado
April 12- May 5: Hawaii District
May 19: Eastborough Church of the Nazarene, Colorado Springs
June 2: Tentatively scheduled in Oklahoma
June 6-8: Colorado District Convention (attending, not speaking)
June 9: Paonia Church of the Nazarene, Colorado
June 16: Monte Vista Church of the Nazarene, Colorado
June 19-24: General Assembly (attending, participating, not speaking)
June 24-27: Indian Lake, Ohio
June 30: Flying back to Germany

We would really love to schedule about 15 to 20 more speaking opportunities, if possible.

We also would appreciate prayer that God would lead us to the places He wants us to share about what He is doing and our testimony of His work in our lives.

Thanks again for all your prayers and support!
