Advanced Mission Training (formerly known as Candidate School) will be held the week of July 15-19, 2024. All the teachers and presenters have been working hard to prepare their presentations. The attendees have already started working on their online pre-work to be completed before the training begins. We are planning to hold this year’s training in the new Mission Office building.

Would you pray that the information we present will be effective in preparing these new missionaries? Would you also pray for those attending to be able to focus on the training and grasp everything being presented and taught to them? You probably remember the brain overload when you attended.

This is a week when the Mission Office staff gets to know the new missionaries better and they get to know us and all that each of us do for them. We even have some WIN missionaries who will be attending this training. There will be 22 in attendance.

I had a wonderful trip to Thailand where I attended the 30^th anniversary of Bangjak Baptist Church started by Ricky and Tammy Salmon. It was good to spend time with the other Salmons, the Cottrells and the Trills as well. All of them are doing a great work.

This month I will be visiting some of our people in a Creative Access Nation. It will be my first time in that country.

On behalf of the Mission Office staff – thank you for praying for us. Remember, we pray for you often. It is a privilege to serve you!

Have a great month!

Your friend,

Jon
