At General Assembly in Indianapolis, Global Ministries was pleased to present nine mission co-workers to the assembly for commissioning.

Michael Joseph to serve with Justapaz in Colombia

Karen Campbell-Nelson to serve with the Evangelical Church in West Timor
Nikotemo Sopepa to serve with the Pacific Council of Churches in Fiji

Phyllis Byrd to Serve with the Organization of African Instituted Churches in Kenya
Debbie and Larry Colvin to serve with the Evangelical Protestant Church in Ghana
Chimiste Dorsicar to serve with CONASPEH in Haiti

In the service, the mission co-workers pledged to endeavor to be faithful to their duties and to strive to work among the people with humility and patience, remembering that they are invited as colleagues eager to learn, as well as to serve. Those present also pledged as representatives of their congregations across the United States and Canada to support them in God’s mission. Rev. Dr. Sharon Watkins then presided over the commissioning prayer.

We ask that you would continue holding up these mission co-workers, and those already serving, in your prayers.
