Mid-Winter
Mission Conference
Features Borquist & Binkleys
This year's Mid-Winter Mission Conference
participants met missionary Bruce Borquist
of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He and his wife,
Ann, serve as teachers and pastoral counselors
training new missionaries in cross cultural
ministry skills. In addition to his presentation,
Borquist delighted the group with an impromptu
photo session.
Duane and Marcia Binkley, missionaries to
Burmese ethnic Karen and Chin refugees,
also spoke at the conference about the tens
of thousands of refugees coming to the US
and those still remaining in refugee camps
along the Thai-Myanmar (Burma) border.

Focus
on Prayer
The Region Board highlights a prayer emphasis
each month. During the month of January, please
pray that our America For Christ Offering will
exceed that given in past years. We must pray
that God will encourage us in our actions, attitudes,
life habits and especially in our daily responses
to our America that is abandoning Christ. May
we reflect Christ in all that we do.

Matthew 5:16 — “...let
your light shine before men, that they may
see your good deeds and praise your Father
in heaven.”
We are to partner with Christ to send mission
minded people to proclaim the good news
of Jesus Christ. At the same time, we must
consider personal needs of those trying
to overcome trials and tribulations.
