Faith Journey 2015 We are going to Malta!
About Malta…
As you can see from the photo above, Malta is an island, South of Sicily and Italy, and North of Africa. It’s relatively small size, (122 square miles) and population (approx. 450,000) make it one of the world’s most densely populated countries. Malta gained its independence in 1964 from Great Britain after a long history of being occupied by many different nations. In 1974 they became a republic.
Malta is known for a long Christian legacy which includes the Biblical historic site where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked. Known at the time as Melita, this is where Paul was infamously bitten by the viper that struck out from the fire when Paul was throwing a bundle of sticks on it. History records that Paul spent three months on the island on his way to Rome. While there, he was known for curing the sick, including the father of Publius, the chief man of the island. It was Paul who was responsible for opening this country up to Christianity.
We are privileged to be staying with Missionaries Kirby and Mary Parker, UPCI Global Missionaries. They were appointed to the island country in 2000 and arrived on the field with their daughter, Rebecca, in May, 2002.
The Parkers have started one church in Malta where they also hold home fellowship groups in several key locations. They study the Maltese language and also make regular contacts on the neighboring island of Gozo.This part of the world brings opportunity to minister to many different nationalities including the Maltese, Chinese, Filipino, Bulgarian and even American nationals.

Thank you so much!! We covet your prayers especially with all that is going on in that part of the world. God bless!
I am so excited to hear this Jennifer. I only know the missionaries there and haven’t met them face to face yet. I am praying we can be a blessing. So happy to meet someone who has a heart for Malta. Thanks for sharing!
What an adventure awaits you! Malta is very close to our hearts, as we have some dear Maltese missionary friends who visit our church and our home on a yearly basis. Thank you for linking up with us at Grace & Truth! You’re in my prayers as you minister in Malta for the glory of God.
This sounds like a wonderful opportunity and I pray that God will bless you time on Malta. I am looking forward to hearing all about it. Thanks for sharing at Good Morning Mondays. Blessings
Thank you so much Lisa! We are thankful for the opportunity and covet your prayers! ♥

Thank you Michele, God is always at the center, He is in control and we pray His blessings on this journey! Blessings! ♥
Thank you Mary, we still have quite a few churches that sponsor us from our time in Latvia. They know that we make at least one trip a year overseas to teach Revival By Design and have been so good to help us further this ministry. We don’t take it lightly and consider it a partnership with not just those that give but all who PRAY for us and the people we go to minister to. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and to remember us. Blessings! ♥
Wow! What an opportunity for you and your husband. I am excited to hear how it goes and the God stories that you will be able to share. I will be praying for the people of Malta and for the both of you as you lead by God’s truth and strength. Blessed you shared this at The Weekend Brew.
Found your blog through Sunday Stillness. Privileged to hear about your ministry.
What a wonderful opportunity, Nannette! Praying that God goes before you to light the path, and guards behind you as you travel.
How awesome! I’ll be in prayer about your trip to Malta and for the hearts that you’ll touch for the Lord.
