COMMISSIONING MISSIONARIES FOR SUDAN

The District of Idaho and W. Montana celebrates faithful servants who responded to a call to serve as the Church of the Brethren Sudan Initiative Lead Team Members, Jim & Pam Hardenbrook and Matt and Christy Messick. Commissioning missionaries to a new mission field for the first time in several decades is a momentous occasion.

The theme for the 2007 Idaho District Conference on September 14-15 is "Mission Possible! Extending the Kingdom in South Sudan and South Idaho." The final worship service will be devoted to a special send-off and Commissioning Service for the Hardenbrooks and Messicks. The service is scheduled for Saturday, September 15, 6:15 p.m. at the Bowmont Church of the Brethren. Sandy Bosserman, Missouri/Arkansas District Executive, will be the featured speaker, and the Idaho congregations will share their commitment to the mission.

We invite and encourage you to join us in this commitment to the support of the Hardenbrooks, Messicks and the Sudan mission. Please feel free to also share this information with staff members and others in your district.

Yours in Christ, Sue Daniel, Administrative Executive, District of Idaho Church of the Brethren IdahoAE@msn.com Phone: 208-442-7260
