NYMM Spitfire
Dear egroupmates & friends:
The NYMM has been invited to the Student Mission Movement Roundtable (SMMR) consultation in Seoul, S Korea this coming August to coincide with S Korea's 10th anniversary celebration (if I'm not mistaken) as a missionary-sending country.
I have officially recommended three young leaders from our three main islands: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao to this historic gathering. They are Mikko Cabalfin from the, Vir Antonio Silva from Dumaguete and Candy Galagnara from Cagayan de Oro. I first sought their willingness before sending their names and email addresses to the organizers. Each will receive an official invitation and more information about the meeting. I will share with you more details next time.
The organizers of the Asian SMMR are from Indonesia, India, Korea and Malaysia. I met two of them at the Ethne conference in Indonesia last March 2006. A few months after, Joannie Sitoy as NYMM representative attended the first roundtable meeting in Singapore. We missed the next one set in Malaysia late last year (I think) but they have not given up on us. I count it a privilege that they want the NYMM inivolved in the Seoul event.
I have already urged Mikko, Vir and Candy to work on their passports and to recruit prayer partners. They will need all our prayers and support in any form or kind (as the Lord leads you) to help them make the trip together. Just to let you know, the three have not yet met each other, only learned about each other through emails I copy furnish each of them.
Take time each day to say a special prayer for them. Feel free to post your notes of encouragement and advice on the egroup, too.
Happy Resurrection Day, everyone!
For the Lord of the nations,
Joy
