Communication breakthrough - video Skype

skype.com

A huge praise report in the support raising process of my journey back to Cote d’Ivoire is the big breakthrough - Skype, which enables me to communicate free via computer video with churches, missions committees, individuals anywhere. That opens up much potential with my limited ability to travel.

Skype is simple to use. You need a computer, preferably with video. Simply download free Skype software @ http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/windows/ and set up your skype account with Skype name. Enter my Skype name, kay.watts53.

Talk with your pastor/missions committee. Contact me - wkw353@yahoo.com about your interest in a Skype conversation. We can set a specific time for video conference with your missions committee or church. We need to practice several times ahead to make sure connections are working well.

Peter Hall @ Mt. Sterling KY - First Church of God, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky will be glad to call others and tell them how to Skype me into church services, etc.

I look forward to sharing about my exciting missions assignment with you.

Reflections - "Blessed to be a blessing"

Saturday evening as I returned to Orlando from my uncle’s funeral in Indiana, past these beautiful clouds, the scripture “blessed to be a blessing” (Genesis 12:1-8 ) echoed in my heart and mind.

Last weekend in less than 24 hours, I lost two uncles, Alex & Roscoe. Their deaths marked the passing of two generations of ordained ministers in my family: Rev. Charles I. Snowden, Kentucky (Mom’s father) and Dr. Rev. Roscoe Snowden, Indiana (Mom’s brother).

In my extended family, I was blessed by the presence and influence of Rev. Alex Adams, Arkansas (Mom’s brother-in-law), and Dr. Rev. Nellie Snowden, Indiana (Mom’s sister-in-law).

I have always counted myself deeply blessed by this rich heritage of ministers plus other relatives on both Mom’s and Dad’s side of family, plus pastors and teachers who have set and continue to set an example of faithful service to God over the years.

I began my Christian Education ministry in ninth grade as an assistant Sunday School teacher, first grade. Educational missions is my calling and passion, drawn to focus on the education part of the Great Commission. Mom's generation and her parents' generation have passed from this earth, but I returned home through those clouds with a new fervency to serve and be a blessing as God has uniquely called and equipped me.

Perspectives Coordinators Training

July 10-11: Perspectives Coordinators Training class was held at Wycliffe Bible Translators headquarters in Orlando. Our trainer was Sundee Simmons (first row, far right), Perspectives Regional Director for MD/DC/VA.


I was encouraged by the coordinator of my spring "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement" class to take coordinators training to be prepared to assist with such a ministry in Africa. This coordinator training class was exhilarating and inspiring.
