Emily Rezek Greater Europe Mission (France) Phone: 800 436 4488 Links: info@gemission.com gemission.org Address: TEAM PO Box 969 Wheaton, IL 60187-0969 Birthday: November 5 Mission Focus Currently the majority of my ministry is at the FEU (Foyer Évangélique Universitaire), a non- denominational Christian association for university students. Here we seek to share the gospel with as many students as possible, as well as to disciple and train believers and to connect them to local churches. A challenge for us is to continue to find creative ways to reach out to the 100,000+ students in Lille! But we’ve seen that the university years are often a time when students are more open spiritually and seeking answers to life’s big questions. Pray for us as we interact with these students, and for their hearts to be receptive to the truth. Testimony My mother first introduced me to Christ and began taking me to church at a young age, where I learned that God created me, loved me, and wanted a relationship with me—but that was impossible because of my sin. The only way to be reconciled to God was through Jesus Christ, God made flesh, who paid my debt on the cross and rose again, defeating sin forever! At age 7, after Vacation Bible School, I made the decision to follow Jesus, and I’ve never regretted it! I know that without Christ in my life, I would be a misguided, self-serving, and unloving sinner. I’ve seen God’s faithfulness to me throughout my life, and every day he continues to teach me new truths about his love and purpose for me. He has given me a new life, and my desire is to use this life to honor him. Previous Mark & Jodi Revell International Field W orker Trainers Next Reach Ayutthaya SIM (Serving in Missions)

Outreach Ministry Get involved "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?" ~Jesus Outreach Strategy "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus frequently led out with this question. As we approach our community, we look for areas of felt-need that we can address as a church. Where are we focused? "So that you may know that The Son of Man has the power to forgive sins ..." But He didn't stop there. Jesus always paired His physical blessings with His Spiritual power. We train our members to competently work the message of salvation into daily conversation. Sharing Jesus "...Pick up your bed and walk." The Kingdom is advancing in St. Charles County. We invite you to join us as we make a difference in our community. Serve Location Our Neighborhood Location Our City Location Our County Where are we focused?

Bruce and Irene McAtee AMG International Phone: (30210) 483 4214 Website: fotisr@amginternational.org Address: AMG International Aigas 66 Koropi, Greece 19400 Birthday: Bruce: December 21 Irene: February 16 Grace: October 2 Emily: August 28 Mission Focus I (Bruce) have been serving with AMG since September of 2018. It is a privilege to build friendships with the refugee families. Currently I continue to bring a few men each week (sometimes with their families) to Cosmo Vision, our multi purpose sports campus, and have them stay for several days to work with me on projects. Working beside them opens the door for the opportunity to go deep through studies of the scriptures and discussions. It also provides them with the dignity of work and a source of income. Beyond that I am involved in the weekly operations that support local churches using the facility, day events for refugee groups, four annual teen camps, the AMG Sunday evening service, and other special events. We also continue to have our weekly Friday night youth group meetings for the St. Andrews International Church at Cosmo Vision, and I am part of the leadership. Testimony Bruce's Testimony I was raised in a Christian home and attended Hope Church in St. Louis, Missouri. At the young age of 6 I accepted Christ as my Savior ( Jim and Jerry Harding were a great influence). I continued to grow in my faith through the example of my parents and the ministry of the church. At age 15 I made a commitment to serve the Lord and felt at that time it was a call to missions. I entered college with the intent of pursuing missions. I was involved in numerous ministry and leadership positions throughout my college years serving as a Dorm Chaplin at the college, as well as being in leadership with the Baptist Student Union, serving with various C.C.C. outreaches. The experiences and friendships in college continued to deepen my faith. After college I went to Eastern Europe for a summer with C.C.C. and then did a one-year Discipleship school (Doulos) in Branson working with youth. Immediately after Doulos I began serving as the Youth Pastor at Grace Community Chapel and from there was commissioned for service in Greece in October of 1987. I have been serving ever since in youth ministry, evangelism, discipleship, refugee ministry, leadership, and many practical jobs. Irene's Testimony I grew up in a Christian home with loving parents and my father was the pastor of the Greek Evangelical Free church in Sydney Australia and still is currently. At the age of 8 I believed in Christ as my Savior at a VBS, but it wasn’t until I was 14 and attended a Billy Graham crusade that I made a public commitment. I was active in my church and youth group and taught Sunday school for 10 years. I began working at age 18 in the financial sector and worked in that area until age 34. I had five different jobs, one with Australian Airlines, and my workplace was my mission field. I also did Bible courses at a Bible college during this time, was part of Bible Study Fellowship for 4 years and I always enjoyed my personal reading time in the word. In 2000 I met Bruce and was ushered into the world of missions. I did my first short-term mission trip to Egypt and Greece in 2001 with Hellenic Ministries and have been serving ever since that time in a support role.

Change For Change "Change for Change" is a monthly program designed to provide assistance to our missionaries during critical times and to fund projects aimed at enhancing the worldwide spread of the gospel. April Change for Change Eric and Rachel McEachron - Operation Mobilization Eric and Rachel serve with Operation Mobilization (OM), focusing on the billions of least-reached people around the world. They believe God is raising up a new wave of missionaries —ordinary believers in all professions—who will take their jobs to places where Jesus is not yet known. Eric’s role with OM is to share this vision with university students and introduce them to a work-as-mission lifestyle through professional internships. With five children, reliable transportation is essential for the McEachrons, but living on monthly support makes it difficult to cover large, unexpected expenses. April’s Change for Change offering will help them purchase a much-needed vehicle, easing their financial burden and enabling them to continue their ministry effectively. As you pray for Eric and Rachel, praise God for their ongoing work in missionary development. Pray for more internship opportunities, equipping more people to serve in least-reached areas.
