Dear Friends,
We are deeply saddened to announce that our long-time Secretary of the Board Linda Applegate passed away on Saturday morning, March 23. Her passing, following elective back surgery a couple weeks prior, came as a shock to all of us. She faithfully served this organization for 25+ years. She will be sorely missed.
Vula especially will miss her friend of 69 years. Linda and Vula met in 1955 when Vula came from Greece. They attended high school together, Immaculate Conception Academy, and worked together at Del Monte Corporation. Linda lived with the Rushdoonys the last 35 years since the Oakland Hills fires of 1989. As difficult and as sad as this sounds, the best is yet to come. Heaven is awaiting!

Dear friends and family,
It is with great sadness that I want to tell you that our beloved president of the Board, Terry Thompson, went to be with our Lord yesterday morning at John Muir Hospital. Terry faithfully served the Lord and The Macedonian Outreach from the beginning of this ministry.
He will be greatly missed.
We will remember him with gratitude always,
The Macedonian Outreach Board
As we celebrate Christmas, I am wishing all of you a blessed Christmas but at the same time I am reminded of the rest of the story! Jesus came and lived among people for 33 years and then He paid the ultimate sacrifice! He gave His life by dying on the cross for all of us. However, praise His name, He was resurrected on the 3rd day. He died so that whoever believes in Him will never die but have everlasting life. I am so grateful for this eternal gift. The Macedonian Outreach, for the last 34 years has pledged to bring this truth to many that do not know Him. This Christmas I am praying for all of us to boldly tell HIS whole story to those that have not as yet heard. Have a blessed Christmas!
Dear friends and family:
As Thanksgiving Day approaches, I want to thank all of you for your prayers and for supporting The Macedonian Outreach so that the good news of the Gospel can reach people who have not heard yet. God bless you and yours!
In Jesus’ love, Vula
