Nomads Annual Meeting

For those who don't know who or what NOMADS are, we are people who enjoy traveling in an RV, we want to share our Christian faith and we enjoy using our skills in service to others.  


The NOMADS Mission Statement is:
Rebuilding lives, homes, and facilities with God’s love and our hands.

At the Nomads annual meeting we were greeted as friends all sharing in the same purpose.  NOMADS are very busy. There is much need all over the country.  We will be signing up for as many projects as possible starting at the Eva Methodist Assembly in Eva, TN on October 8th.  Eva Methodist Assembly is a camp and retreat center like Warren Willis Camp and the Life Enrichment Center in Leesburg, FL.

During the Nomads Annual Event we met with many others with the same passion that we have.  We met each morning for coffee and fellowship, followed by Bible Study and a morning devotion given by a NOMAD who is also a pastor. 

There were a variety of seminars held which we were able to choose from.  Mel and I attended seminars that included one held by the Red Cross, a new member get together that included questions and answers and a seminar about promoting the NOMADS organization and ourselves.  We also learned much about the types of projects that NOMADS work at and how the projects and the agencies are chosen.  NOMADS are always invited into an area, they never go without an invitation.
 
We and the Nomads Organization are in need of funding in order to help where the needs are. Nomads also help where the project sites are not able to cover the entire cost of materials but there is always more need for materials than money available allows. Mel and I are also struggling with the cost of getting to the areas with the price of gas and the cost of maintenance on the RV. 


We want to thank everyone for their prayers and support.  Please continue to pray for us and our ministry for Christ.  We also ask that you pray about supporting our ministry. 

 
And in the same way, faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17
