I need some help.

Our Fall Missions Explosion will be the week of September 21 - 28. On Monday and Tuesday evenings, September 22 & 23 we will be having "Dinner with a Missionary" in several homes. These are informal affairs where someone opens their home to a missionary guest and the host can invite other people (as many or as few as their home will allow). Over a meal, pot luck or however the host wants to do it, people get to meet and get to know a missionary on a personal level. In this setting, you can ask the questions that are not possible to ask when a missionary comes for a service. They are always enjoyable, enlightening and encouraging to both the missionary and those who attend.

I currently have 5 missionaries who are available on one or both evenings. They are Wayne Gray, who is our new executive director of Teen Challenge Oklahoma, Gary Gunsolus, who directs the construction teams who help churches in our region, Bill Hicks, who is a missionary in Northern Asia, Christy Perry, who works with Teen Challenge in Russia, and Joni Middleton, who works with Project Rescue in Calcutta, India. All of them are interesting and passionate people.

I need some people to volunteer their homes for these dinners with a missionary. Please let me know if your are interested and I can get you more information.

Bro Randy, Linda and I can be available for either or both evenings. I have sent you a letter in the mail today. Along with it is your receipt for the love offering. You will receive missions giving credit. God Bless
