\"\" \"\" Whew! This summer has been hectic, and that doesn\u2019t seem likely to change anytime soon! Since our last update, I (Jonelle) have taken the kids to visit my brother\u2019s family in eastern Washington, where we got to visit two of my brothers and sisters-in-law and nine nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n

Then we all traveled to Newberg, Oregon for the Global Outreach Conference that I\u2019ve been helping plan (as part of the Northwest Yearly Meeting Board of Global Outreach), the annual Missions Banquet, and Yearly Meeting (our denomination\u2019s annual sessions). I am on the above-mentioned board and serve as our church\u2019s representative at the business portion, so it was a busy few days! During the sessions, the representatives gave their endorsement of the Eastern Europe field for the Luke 10 Initiative and recommended changing its name to \u201cThe Balkans\u201d to more accurately reflect the area we are looking at. In addition, we have several new prayer partners, and several churches asked us to schedule a visit with them. We are working our way through that list, getting those visits scheduled. If you would like us to share at your church, please email me at jonellel@friendsmission.com<\/a> to set up a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"A lot of my extended family lives in the Newberg area, so we enjoyed spending some all-too-brief time with uncles, aunts, cousins, and second cousins on both sides of my family. We also got some precious time with my grandpa, the kids\u2019 last great-grandparent. This family time, the conversations with old and new friends at Yearly Meeting, and the increasing interest in the field of the Balkans were such encouragement and joy!<\/p>\n

It has been a busy summer already and that will continue, but it will be shifting focus somewhat. We are fully in the partner-raising stage, looking for individuals and churches who would like to join us as prayer partners or as monthly financial partners. We hope to be on the road most weekends, driving to different churches and meeting their congregations. We would love to meet with any of you who are interested in learning more about how God is leading us.\u00a0\u00a0Some of you have already partnered with us and we are very thankful for you! We\u2019d love to meet with you, too, and learn more about how we can uphold you in prayer. If you are not our prayer partner and want to be, welcome! And if you are ready to become a financial partner, welcome to you too!<\/p>\n
