Dear Kansas District NMI,

Greetings from Palermo, Italy! We have been blessed to serve the Lord in a beautiful place where people are constantly coming closer to finding a relationship with Christ. Palermo is located on the island of Sicily where we have served for the past 2 1/2 years. Recently we were appointed as Field Director for Southeastern Europe. This field includes the nations of Italy, Albania, Macedoni, Kosova, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, and Slovenia where we currently have work. It also includes Bosnia, Serbia-Montenegro and Greece where work has not yet begun. The challenges are many but the harvest is ripe in these nations that have suffered so much in recent times. We look forward to partnering with you over the next two years as your LINKS missionaries. Your prayers will make a difference in the lives of so many people that are trying to find purpose and meaning.

Please let us know how we can partner with you through prayer. We hope somday to be able to visit your district and to share in person what God is doing in this part of the world. If any of you would be interested in receiving our e-mail newsletter, please send us an e-mail at joelmullen@mac.com and we will gladly add you to our list of recipients!

May God bless your district in the coming year with a full sense of his purpose for you!

Many blessings for a Spirit-filled convention and God-blessed fellowship together,

Joel and Sara Mullen.
