POMs at the National Missionary Convention
Will you be at the National Missionary Convention this year, November 20–23, in Tulsa, Oklahoma? Plan now to join NNPOM and Pioneer Bible Translators on Saturday, November 22 from 1:45 to 3:15 p.m. for another wonderful event just for you! Open to all POMs, the event will encourage you and provide opportunities to get to know other POMs. We'll have food, speakers, prizes, and plenty of time to network, talk, and show those photos, especially of the grandchildren!

A Yahoo! Group for POMs
To make it easier for POMs to connect and network with one another, we're launching a new venture-a Yahoo! group called Parents_of_Cross-Cultural_Workers.

Although we will continue to compile and maintain a database of POMs—those who sign up to receive this newsletter—we'll now use the Yahoo! group to help POMs find other POMs to communicate with. You can use the group to ask questions, post prayer requests, offer suggestions and advice to others, and locate POMs to connect with by e-mail, phone, or even in person. Please read the group description carefully when you join. We're sensitive to the need to protect identities and locations of workers in some parts of the world.

Go here to join the group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Parents_of_Cross-Cultural_Workers/

You'll need a free Yahoo! account to join.
