LINKS is a network of connections between participating missionaries and Nazarene churches. The relationship gives local churches an opportunity to become personally acquainted with a missionary family and their service - this fosters involvement with the global missions enterprise across the Nazarene church. LINKS missionaries provide updates through regular correspondence and a visit when on home assignment. The church supports the missionaries with prayer, care packages, and financial gifts.

LUSTANA
They are Field Youth Coordinators (Missionaries) in Bangkok, Thailand but are on home assignment starting 15 Oct. They are sponsored missionaries, so raise their own funds.
This young couple has won the hearts of those they speak to. They were in the Flathead valley two years ago when they were assigned to the northwest and knew no one. They now have a 2 year old and an infant. If you are interested in their newsletter, contact Karen Haven (Kalispell) at 406-261-1115 or chavenk65@gmail.com and she will connect you.
They will be speaking in Whitefish on 3 Nov at the Wednesday dinner (6pm) and on Sunday 7 Nov in Kalispell.
