Subject: Help us bring Kinko & Andrea to Triennial 2016

Triennial is here...almost! If you haven't yet registered for Quench, which will be in Kansas City, MO, July 28-31, visit www.covchurch.org/triennial to get more information and to register!

We have the honor of helping a Sister in Christ, currently living in Japan, travel to Kansas City to attend Triennial XV! Kinko Hiyoshi will be traveling to Seattle, WA, to meet up with a Covenant Missionary to Japan, Andrea Johnson.  Together they will attend Triennial and experience God's grace and power among women from every Conference in the Evangelical Covenant Church and woman from around the world who are sponsored by each Conference.

The East Coast Conference Office is contributing $1500 toward the expenses for Kinko & Andrea with a challenge for our Conference women to match this.  Expenses include air fare, hotel, ground transportation, Triennial fee, meals, etc.

Following Triennial, Kinko & Andrea will travel out here to visit churches within our Conference.

We need your help to make this a reality. What can you do?
  • Please pray for safe travels for Kinko & Andrea, and for them to see evidence of God's love for them throughout this journey.
  • Please consider making a contribution to help us meet the challenge...take an offering, hold a fundraiser, get creative! You can send contributions to Cathy Fredlund, 298 Valley View Road, Thomaston, CT 06787. Checks payable to WMECC, note for Kinko & Andrea.
  • Please  let us know if your church would like to welcome Kinko & Andrea for a visit during the first two weeks of August. We would need to coordinate timing and possible host homes and transportation throughout the Conference depending on the churches interested and able to arrange a visit.
As women of the Evangelical Covenant Church, it is our mission to make and deepen disciples of Jesus Christ. We have the privilege of stepping up to glorify our LORD.
