EXCITING! LIFE CHANGING! UNFORGETTABLE! PARTY WITH THE GYPSIES Hi Everyone! Georgian and Winnie, along with the entire Global Celebration Staff are so excited to have all of you on board for this year’s “Party with the Gypsies” missionary trip to minister among the precious people of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece! We are looking forward to having a grand total of around 80 people. For those of you who are joining us for the first time, you may be thinking to yourself, “That is a lot of people, will I be able to be an important part of this trip?” The unique and amazing part of this outreach is that the more people we have, the bigger wave we can make! The impact of 80 foreigners walking into a city is very real! We have experienced a special atmosphere of the glory of God when we do. As we parade through the villages and go door to door, you will find yourself laying hands on the sick and sharing Jesus with tons of hungry hearts. The gypsies are very friendly and there are plenty of people to reach out and touch, and too many children to hug all at once! Gypsies of all ages will respond to the love of God in your smile and receive hugs and prayers with open arms. So get ready to jump in head first, as we experience the Kingdom of God with signs, wonders and miracles among the poorest of the poor.
New York Flight: Because of the size of our group, we have had to arrange for a second group flight in and out of New York City. They both arrive into Greece at the same time, however the return flights to the US are different, with the first one arriving a little after 4 pm while the second one arrives a little after 7 pm. We have split up the group based on a first come, first serve basis, while putting all who live in the greater New York/New Jersey metropolitan area on the later arrival. This allows us to give as many people as possible enough time to catch a connecting flight out of JFK airport the evening of the 19th . Listed below are the two flight itineraries and the last names of those on each flight. Please contact us immediately if you have a problem with your flight schedule and we will see if a change is at all possible . The airlines need this information right away, so contact us quickly. When booking your flights into New York, remember to make sure that you arrive at JFK Airport at least 4-5 hours prior to our departure as it takes time to process such a large group on an international flight. Also, be sure to leave plenty of time to go through customs upon our arrival back into New York when scheduling your connecting flight home. Group 1 07

New York Hotel We have reserved a number of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express in New York near JFK airport for the nights of August 6th and 19th. We wanted to make these rooms available to those of you planning to stay overnight in NY before or after the trip. We were able to secure a group rate of $109. (Also, we are working out arrangements to use Global Celebration’s tax exemption paperwork, and waive all taxes on these rooms, keeping the reservation rate at a flat $109. We cannot guarantee this yet, but it looks good!) You must reserve your room no later than JULY 21 to keep the group rate.
The Group Reservation has been made under the name “Global Celebration”, please be sure to mention this to get the discounted rate. The hotel provides free shuttles to and from the airport every ½ hour, as well as a free continental breakfast. Staying in New York and Looking for a Roomate???? On that note, we thought it would be useful to everyone if you had a way to find out if others are planning to stay in the hotel in case you would like to find a roommate and help split the cost. There is a Message Board on our website where you can go in and post comments and chat with those going on the trip. This would be a great way to connect and make travel plans amongst yourselves.

Deadline I also want to remind you that your next payment is due in our bookkeeper’s office on or before June 1st. This deadline is very important, and your payment must not be late. In addition, we must also have a photocopy of the inside photo and name page of your passport by June 1st. We need to submit your name as it appears on your passport to the airline at this time, and you will jeopardize your seat on the plane if you delay. If you have not submitted our other required forms, this would be a good time to send them to me as well. If you have questions, feel free to contact me and I will be glad to help you.
Intercessors The Bible says “Ask of me and I will make the nations your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession” (Psalm 2:8) We ask that you soak this trip in lots of prayer and stand in agreement with us for great and marvelous things. Believe with us for an incredible harvest of souls, divine appointments, signs, wonders, miracles, transformed cities and revival thunder to rock the nations of Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey. As you may know, Global Celebration has a group of intercessors that continually lift up the ministry in prayer. They are an important part of the team and will be praying for our upcoming trip and other special needs. If you are interested in becoming a part of this special group of praying eagles, you will receive prayer updates and reports of the things that God is doing with Global Celebration and around the world. You can sign up by following the link below: http://www.riverlution.net/intercessors.htm Blessings! I look forward to meeting all of you and am excited and filled with anticipation for the powerful things God is going to do this summer through each and every person in our group. Continue to pray for everyone coming on this trip and that all the details continue to flow together smoothly! Be filled continually with His Goodness and Grace!!!
