Hello. I am a missionary serving in Amsterdam, the Netherlands through Great Commission Ministries. 

I will be in the San Diego area in September:

Monday, 20th – Open House from 7:30-9pm at Grace Church, Santee.  

 Wednesday, 22nd – 7pm Clairemont Community Group for the Flood, led by Mandy Schatzinger.

It would be great to meet anyone interested in being a part of reaching Amsterdam with God’s love through Jesus.

God bless you, Linda

To our friends at Flood Church,

Please join us as we celebrate the work of Plant With Purpose, this October at the annual Planting Hope Gala. The evening will include exciting silent and live auctions, dinner, and a chance for you to give toward a life-changing project in the ‘Fund a Need’ auction. This year is particularly critical as Plant With Purpose raises funds to plant trees in Haiti to further their recovery efforts in areas impacted by the earthquake. We hope to see you there!

Plant With Purpose works in rural areas where poverty is caused by deforestation. For over 25 years, Plant With Purpose has supported communities by spreading the gospel and empowering the poor to transform their lives. Through prayer and community development efforts, along with reforestation and microcredit projects, Plant With Purpose has seen healing in the lives of the rural poor in Tanzania, Burundi, Thailand, Mexico, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

What: Plant With Purpose Planting Hope Gala
When: October 9th, 2010 at 6:00 p.m.

Did you know that anecdotal figures show that 80% of students fall away from their faith between graduation and retirement? Did you know that 8 million live in Greater London, where 40% represent an ethnic minority, 320 languages are spoken, and 600,000 are Muslim?
Join us this Sunday August 1, 2010 at 4:30pm to learn more about Campus Crusade’s marketplace ministry in the heart of London where Jon and Kathy Horne are missionaries. You will learn more about how you can pray for them as they continue to share what God is doing in the lives of young adults in one of the most strategic, post-Christian cities in the world.
Kathy Horne is currently visiting the U.S. to raise financial support and help teach others about the needs of London. There’s no obligation to give. Just come and eat some free food, have a refreshing drink and listen as Kathy teaches us more about Campus Crusade’s marketplace ministry in the heart of London.
Please RSVP before Saturday 7/31 by calling Scott Murphy at 858-405-5065 or via this Evite.

Believe it or not, summer’s not the only time you can go to Africa! Team’s can be sent to Malawi & Uganda year-round if we have the leaders to make it happen.

If you are interested in leading a 2-3 week trip to Africa in the winter of 2010-2011, contact Global Impact Pastor AdamK@DIVEintoFLOOD.com. Your trip can have a specific focus, or a general focus.

Just finished school and wondering what to do for the next school year?  Why not teach at the ABC Christian Academy in Lilongwe, Malawi?
