An Update from Jackie

So far the Fall Campaign has been extremely busy! On September 17th, I was invited by the 49er’s of Gloria Dei to share my stories of Russia. Thank you 49ers! Then on September 23rd, Pastor Dave Fulton of St. Paul’s Wichita gave me his sermon time at both services and showed my DVD presentation during fellowship time. St. Paul’s members made a generous donation to Children of the Wind. Karen Haynes was right there with me, thank you Karen!

In October I was privileged to address Area 5 Pastors meeting at Cross of Glory in Derby, however, technical difficulties prevented the showing of the DVD. I asked the Pastors to take my plea back to their congregations regarding an offering and emphasis for St. Paul’s Vladivostok during Epiphany Season. Thank you Pastor Jacobson for setting this up!

October 11th I presented to about 45 people at the Shepherd’s Center West – how exciting, my first ecumenical presentation! Again had a few difficulties with equipment, no sound for DVD, still I felt the message was well received and it was so nice to see the many faces of my Gloria Dei family in the audience, thank you for the support.

Next up October 20th, a presentation at a Women’s Retreat in Rock Springs and on November 12th I present at Reformation Wichita.

Please keep this Mission in your prayers and let any group you think might be interested know about Gloria Dei’s Global Ministry and that I am available and so excited to talk with them and share the news of what I witnessed, to tell of the great new day dawning for our brothers and sisters in Far Eastern Russia! Reclaim the Sacred! Lift High the Cross!
