Second conference letter
25 June 2008
Hello again!
Please take a moment to read the second Avant Europe conference 2008 letter. Keep your questions coming and I will do what I can to answer them or refer you to someone who can. In this letter you will find more details about our week together in Beatenburg in August.
Those with children should have received an email regarding the photos. As a reminder, the Ojai team has asked for digital pictures of your kids so the children in their church have the opportunity to get to know them, pray for them and be involved with the mission. Please send a digital picture of your kids, together or separately, to rpetropulos@sbcglobal.net with a brief note telling their ages, grades, hobbies, and where they live. Nothing complicated, just a short paragraph about them will do.
Have a great summer and we´ll see you soon in Switzerland!

Conference Coordinator
