March News- ministry in member care and training from the US to the world

Hello again from Chicago! A few months have past since I posted last.... We are rejoicing that Spring as arrived! Maybe you noticed that the name of our blog has changed? This month we officially end our home assignment and begin ministry in member care and training for Christian workers. Our base for now will be in the USA as we minister internationally. Our project has been approved and an official letter will be going out from WorldVenture to our ministry partners.

We still have ties to Argentina and keep in touch with our friends there. In some ways we are still transitioning to the US as we continue our ministry. Thank you so much for your prayers for us!

One other big news item for this month is that Dick traveled to Mexico on March 12 to visit pastors and churches near the city of Torreon. The churches in that area would like to set up a pastor training program and want Dick's input. :-)

International Training Partners would like us to continue assisting with the Spanish Sharpening Your Interpersonal Skills workshops.

We are encouraged as we see the Lord guiding us step by step in this new adventure in ministry from the US to the world!

If you would like a copy of the outline of our ministry plan please email us at lori.greenman@gmail.com

Blessings!

Happy 2010! plus November and December news

Happy New Year! We enjoyed being in Michigan with family for New Year's and with family in Kentucky for Christmas. :-)

We have begun visiting churches that partner with us in our ministry. The first week of October we visited a supporting church in Michigan. It was great to be with part of a conference there and blessed by the members of the church and the other missionaries that participated. At the end of October and beginning of November Dick visited a few friends who are ministry partners and churches in Massechusettes, New York and Pensylvania. He was encouraged by the expressions of love and care.

In November Dick,Andrea and Luca traveled to North Africa to visit Beth. They had LOTS of fun spending two weeks together, visiting different cities and friends that are part of Beth's life.

Lori enjoyed attending Mental Health and Missions Conference in Indiana and spent Thanksgiving in Michigan with Ben, Dick's parents and friends while the rest of our family was in Africa.

We so appreciate your interest in us and what is happening in our lives. Thank you for praying for us and keeping in touch when you can! I hope to post a few pictures soon!
