Training Retreat Weekend held - June 15-16

The JEMS South America Department hosted its pre-summer training retreat at JEMS headquarters over the weekend. It was a time of prayerful preparation, worship, culture, language and ministry training. Although we have in the past offered almost seventy hours of training, we have scaled down the number of hours due to the shorter summer terms.

We are grateful for past JEMS volunteers who came out to offer their insights and practical suggestions to the new 2012 team. Some of the alumni who were able to participate are pictured below:



Although the Dallas contingent of the JEMS team was unable to attend the weekend retreat at the JEMS office, we have been pleased to use Skype technology to provide face-to-face training through the computer screen.



I am praying that our on-site training session was a blessing and benefit to our workers as they had opportunity to learn from the training staff, to interact with each other, to plan and to pray.

















Please pray for the teams as they will depart as early as next Friday, June 29th, with Pastor John. Other teams will follow on July 27 and on August 31.




The June 29th departure team:



Thank you so much for your prayers on our behalf, for your words of encouragement and for your financial support. Your partnership makes this ministry possible.

Blessings to you! I look forward to sharing more with you after I return from South America on September 4th!

Pr John
