Here are a few details and dates:
  • We’ll Depart Friday April 2nd (Good Friday – No School)
  • We’ll Return Saturday April 10th
  • We’re going through Azusa Pacific University to a community outside of Mexicali (east of Tijuana )
  • Registration Deadline: February 20th (Packets to come out when I get home)
  • Theme: A NEW WAY: 2 Cor. 5:17-21
  • Trainings will be Wednesday Nights: February 24th – March 31st

4/18 6:00 p.m. David and Marquita Mosher, missionaries to Zambia, will be with us for a special service.   Come and hear what God is doing in Zambia.   There will be a time of fellowship with dessert provided.

David and Marquita Mosher are global missionaries for the Church of the Nazarene serving in Zambia, Africa since 2008.   Previous to this assignment they served in Sao Tome and Principe.

Their assignment in Zambia includes assisting in pastoral leadership training on two districts.   David serves as field treasurer and Marquita assists in training children's ministry leaders.

The Moshers began their missionary service in the Kingdom of Swaziland in 1983.   They spent 10 years working at Siteki Nazarene High School.   They also assisted at the Nazarene Bible College and were involved in outstation church work on the weekends.

In 1994, the Moshers were assigned to the northern provinces of Nampula, Niassa and Cabo Delgado in Mozambique.   Their ministry involved training lay leaders as well as directing church planting and training of church leaders.   The main work there was among the Macua tribe, which was the largest unreached people group in Africa at that time.   The Moshers served in Mozambique until assigned to Sao Tome and Principe in 2001.

David received a B.S. from Southern Nazarene University, in Bethany, Oklahoma.   He received an M.A. in missiology from Nazarene Theological Seminary in 1993.   Marquita received a B.A. in religion from Southern Nazarene University.   David and Marquita were both ordained in Maputo, Mozambique, in 1996.

The Moshers have two adult children, LeCrecia and David C.
