New Position with SENDAS
Shelley’s new position with the Seminary as Coordinator of Public Relations includes a wide variety of responsibilities including updating the Seminary website, e-newsletters, Work and Witness teams as well as new projects such as CALL.




CALL is a Spanish language and culture program where anyone who wants to learn Spanish can do so in the safe and beautiful setting of the SENDAS campus while being surrounded by Latino Seminary students and professors. It is a great place to learn the language and in addition, opportunities will be given to assist in local church planting and compassionate activities. The three-hour classes are taught each day by Latin American teachers offer the opportunity to grow in knowledge of the language as well as the culture. Just email Shelley at swebb@nazmac.org for more information.

Classes are starting on a limited basis this fall, but a January Term is being offered in 2010 with special package deals that will entice you to spend 4 weeks in San Jose getting away from that chilly winter weather. Come join us!

Home Assignment In Review



Joshua - Learning to Surf in San Diego/Putting our feet in the ocean in Delaware

The Webb family had quite the summer adventure traveling all around the USA speaking at churches in 11 different states (Iowa, Tennessee, Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, California, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware). God blessed us in every way with good travel, great services and a minivan that we finally sold two days before we left the country (to a Nazarene Pastor!)

Our Nations Capitol


Spending time with family in Iowa


Grandma Webb with Lydia

It would take pages and pages of writing to tell you all the highlights but the kids will always remember these special times: Days spent in Iowa. Illinois and Georgia with family, seeing old friends in Tennessee, Kansas and Oklahoma (fishing trip included), General Assembly and Epcot Center in Orlando, Sea World and surfing in San Diego, eating lunch at an local airstrip in Ohio, hiking in West Virginia, Our Nation’s Capitol (and the train rides from Baltimore), and of course many long hours in the van watching DVDs and listening to music.



A special thanks to each and every church that we were blessed to visit this summer. It is a privilege to share what God is doing in MAC South. Thanks for praying for us and for the ministries and leaders we represent.




Speaking to a church at a backyard, poolside picnic in Delaware. Can’t beat it!

New School Year Begins
Actually, it began a couple weeks before we arrived home which made for a tough transition to 6th grade for Kayley, but we are happy to report that now everyone is well-adjusted to school, work and the daily routine that comes along with it. Here is Kayley waiting for the school bus in front of the Regional Office.



Joshua is in Basketball and as a 10th grader is starting on the Varsity Team (see photo below of Josh shooting a free throw in a game). He is a good player and we are excited to see his games. Kayley is in a quilting club at school along with all the regular subjects like Math, Social Studies, English, Spanish and French. (Yes, a third language is required!)



Workshops with New Church Specialties

David’s Evangelism work got off to a great start upon our return with workshops offered by the Region with the leaders of the New Church Specialties organization. The Saturday workshops were designed to assist church leaders to have a vision and then share the vision with the church congregation.

On Sunday morning, the NCS leaders and missionaries enjoyed a church service at the foot of Irazu Volcano (see photo below). It was a great spot to reflect on the greatness of God. In the afternoon, special evangelism services took place that inspired us all to continue seeking the Lord whole-heartedly.



A partnership has developed between the MAC Region and the NCS leaders that we are sure will be a great benefit to the local churches in our area as they receive more training in the Refocus program.
