Last two days we had a pastors retreat whith Bob and Colleen Skinner present.
We met in them a great couple that has one aim, i.e. to spread the kingdom of God in the Ukraine and the CIS field. In telling their stories and constantly calling us to really believe what we say to believe they minister to our hearts. I trust the Lord worked in the hearts of us pastors by using these two beautiful instruments of him.

BTW, Bob and Colleen are Nazarene misionaries.
They are responsible for Ukraine. And now Bob is also field director for the CIS field which has 13 time zones.
So Bob travels much, and Colleen is mainly at home in Kiev to be with their 3 sons (17, 14 and 10).

Is he really "field director?" I thought that title had been changed to "Field Strategy Coordinator" or is that just for Africa?

Well I understood that he 'oversees' the CIS field, and I thought he was director. But when you google you even find Philip McAlister being a Field Strategy Coördinator, while I thought he was a Director. And I found also for Bob both titles. Maybe they changed the tiles globally from director to strategy coördinator?

Yes they have, brother David. At the last General Assembly. You'll be better informed about changes at the next one ;)
