Nathan and Gabriela Hoppe Spring 2009 Update

Nathan and Gabriela Hoppe (7/2/2009)

ollowing 11 years of ministry in Albania we will be returning to the US in August for one year of home assignment before returning to the field. During this time we will be headquartered in Minnesota, where the children will be attending the same school they went to during Lynette's illness. Our time will be divided between a variety of responsibilities. I will be in regular contact with Albanian coworkers and OCMC missionaries to ensure continuity in our ministries. I will be returning to the Mediterranean for most of October in order to participate in the meeting of the Faith and Order Plenary Commission, followed by the meeting of The Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church. I will also make a brief visit to Albania. I will be working together with the staff of OCMC to develop a series of mission events in metropolitan areas around the US in order to promote the work of missions and reconnect with our support team. Please let us know if you would be interested in helping to arrange one of these events. Gabriela is planning to begin work on a Masters degree in Children and Family Ministry. In addition, we hope to find some time for prayer, study, rest, and reflection in order to reinvigorate us for continuing ministry in Albania. We also hope to spend some special time with Tristan and Katherine to compensate for the absences mandated by our ministry schedule. We are joyfully expecting a new addition to our family with the birth of a child in January. Please pray for a good pregnancy and safe delivery for Gabriela. Please pray that this would be a productive time and that we would be renewed spiritually and physically for our return to Albania.
