Field Encouragement Meetings
We have started bi-weekly conference calls to provide a time of fellowship, encouragement, and prayer for our missionaries on the field. Our desire is for this to be a time of connection and strengthening as we seek to build each other up in the ministries to which the Lord has called us. We currently have meetings scheduled for 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on the second Tuesday morning of each month, and for 9:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month. Hopefully, this will give a variety of individuals in different time zones the opportunity to participate. The meetings typically last approximately 30 minutes, and they include a brief challenge from Bro. O’Malley and from one of our Board Members, as well as a time of prayer. If you have questions about how to join one of the meetings you may email Laura Cmaylo. Audio of past meetings is available by clicking here.
The upcoming schedule of meetings will be as follows:
Tuesday, May 9th – 9:00 a.m.
Tuesday, May 23rd – 9:00 p.m.
Tuesday, June 13th – 9:00 a.m.
Tuesday, June 27th – 9:00 p.m.
REAL ID: New Travel Documents May Be Needed Soon
Please be advised that US airports may potentially begin enforcing new policies regarding the use of driver’s licenses as forms of accepted ID for flying purposes starting January 22, 2018. The issue termed “The REAL ID” originates from the REAL ID Act passed by Congress in 2005. In effect, state driver’s licenses may no longer be valid for travel within the US unless the issuing state complies with the new federal regulations. Though passports will continue to be acceptable forms of ID, it is important to be informed on the matter and how it may affect you in the future.
