The Kerr family, our 2009 L.I.N.K.S. Missionaries, will be visiting and sharing with us at our Sunday morning worship service on Sunday, April 29 at 10:00 am. During this all-church service, David and Rosie will be sharing about their life as missionaries in Papua New Guinea.
David was a public school teacher of history and biology. Now he is a professor at the Melanesian Nazarene Bible College. Rosie is a Family Practice doctor at the Kudjip Nazarene Hospital. She has also been a Sunday School teacher, ladies’ Bible study leader and an invaluable partner with Dave in his ministry. The Kerrs have two daughters, Grace and Anna.
Following morning worship, we’ll have an all-church potluck with our missionary guests!
Plan on a fun time of fellowship!

Congratulations to everyone who read all of the 2011-12 missionary books this year!
The GGNaz Missions Council said thank you, this past Sunday, to our church family for supporting missions throughout the year. They also said a very special thank you to everyone who has read or listened to all six 2011-12 Missions Books. It was a fun evening with ice cream and a wide assortment of toppings. Scoops and toppings were only 25 cents, but free for the avid readers. We had a lot of fun singing a few “vintage” Sunday school songs (hand motions and all!).
The Church of the Nazarene has a great tradition of adult missions education. Every year, Nazarene Missions International publishes a set of books that tell the stories of men and women all over the world, from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, who heed the call to serve. NMI describes their mission best:
Knowledge is key to involvement. With an understanding of the needs of the world and what the church is doing to meet those needs, we are more likely to commit to the support of missions through prayer, giving, communication, and going. (From www.nmi.nazarene.com.)
The GGNaz Missions Council works hard to make missions learning fun. If you would like to read some of this year’s books, email church-office@ggnaz.org or talk to our Nazarene Missions International President, Debbie Johnson at church this Sunday.
