Romania Update

It has been a while since I have posted an update regarding my preparations for returning to Romania.

In case you haven't heard, I'm staying in the Kansas City area, working in the Sunday School & Discipleship Ministries International office at the Church of the Nazarene Global Ministry Center through General Assembly & Conventions in late June. I will be returning to Pennsylvania for a few weeks in August before leaving for Romania on September 1 (tentative departure date). My ministry focus in Romania will be in the areas of developing discipleship ministries and lay ministry training.

I have just updated my Romania website with a new navigation menu on the right sidebar and most recent information. Please visit my site to learn more about my upcoming ministry. If you haven't yet seen my deputation newsletter, I invite you to download a copy here.

Since July 2008, I have had the opportunity to share about God's Mission in Romania with 11 churches or small groups in Florida, Maryland, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. To date, these churches and a handful of individual donors have given $5,800.91 toward my goal of $25,000 for my first 2 years of ministry in Romania.

Over the next few months, I have plans to speak in Kansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. (You can click here for my schedule.) If you would like me to share with your church or small group, please let me know.

I have created a Google Group for those of you who want to receive email updates from me. The first one will come in May with an opportunity to give to my ministry fund. Beginning in August, I'll send brief monthly news & prayer updates to supplement my blog posts. You can sign up at www.jepjon.com by adding your email address.
