June 2009
KNCSB Missionary Parents Fellowship meeting will be held Aug. 28-29.
Parents of International Mission Board missionaries are invited to attend this gathering in Topeka, Kan., for fellowship, support and encouragement.
If you know of parents living in Kansas or Nebraska that have children serving with the International Mission Board, please send their name and address to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and also please encourage them to attend this meeting.
Parents of these IMB missionaries will be staying at the Holidome at 6th and Fairlawn in Topeka. The meetings will be at the Baptist Building, just a short walk from the hotel.
All it costs you is $60, the price of the hotel room which includes a full breakfast. This price is the same for either single or double occupancy. The meeting begins Friday at 7 p.m. with a desert gathering and goes through Saturday lunch, provided at the Baptist Building.
Mark Whitworth, IMB Global Membercare, will encourage the parents on how to maintain good relationships with their missionary children and handle the grief associated with their separation. Parents will also learn about “skype,” the IMB new re-organization, and hints on being long-distance grandparents.
