National Missionary Convention

Dear Friends,
This week, November 19-22, the National Missionary Convention (NMC) of the Christian Churches, is being held in Peoria, IL! (Bradley University is located in Peoria! Just thought you would want to know!!!)
The NMC draws people from all over...the world! This is an opportunity for those from within the States to connect and reconnect with those who are serving in a variety of Mission efforts from all over the globe. The speakers and workshops are the best. The convention hall is filled with booths representing world wide ministries. People who attend the convention walk away with their arms filled with brochures...DVD's...flyers...ministry/mission opportunities in every kind of possibility- preaching, teaching, language translation, medical work, educational work, justice efforts, ministry to children and women, ministry to the poorest of the poor, construction opportunities- you name it, there is a global ministry for it! (May not be the best sentence but you get the idea!)
I will be "working the crowd" who will be passing by the STADIA INTERNATIONAL-JONATHAN PROJECT booth! We have new publication pieces explaining what this ministry is all about! And I am very excited about the opportunities to meet college students, young adults, those who are retired and anyone else for that matter who are looking for that possibility, that open door, that answer to prayer, that challenge to step out of a comfort zone and step into the Lord's comfort zone!
Remember what JONATHAN is all about! Some are Jonathans and take the impossible hill; others are the Armor Bearers who are supporting the Jonathans "...heart and soul" as they (the Jonathans) go after the hill! (I Samuel 14:7)
What is our entire objective? STADIA INTERNATIONAL-JONATHAN PROJECT exists to train and release global Jonathans to plant multiplying churches in very difficult unreached people groups within the context of what they have and who they are without the long term support of U.S. dollars. That is it in a nutshell.
Sent with prayer,
Graydon Jessup
P.S. You may not be attending the NMC, but perhaps you know someone who is! Give them a call or send them and email and make sure they visit us at the STADIA INTERNATIONAL-JONATHAN PROJECT booth!
