e-3 8/1/22 GREETINGS! Welcome to the August edition of the TVTD Newsletter! I hope you find it informative and inspiring! Would you like to be a part of future newsletters? I'm looking for anyone in our community that would like to contribute a short testimony about what Tres Dias has meant in their 4th day lives that you would not mind me publishing. It can be published by name or anonymously! Can you help? Send your writings to me at tvtresdiasid@gmail.com and subtitle it: For the Newsletter. Thanks in advance! - Jean Hershey, Communications A MESSAGE FROM YOUR 4 TH DAY LEADER For those who missed the Summerfest last month … we missed YOU! The day was warm (HOT) but we were in the shade and there was a nice breeze. We had a nice attendance, some great food, singing, a piñata for the kids and good conversation! Your Secretariat has decided that for the near future, we will not be holding Secuelas monthly. We realize everyone is busy and we don’t want the Tres Dias meetings to take you away from participating in your individual churches and families. We are hopeful that in the absence of monthly Secuelas, Reunion Groups may form. For help with guidelines and information on forming a Reunion Group, contact any Secretariat member, or there is information on our website too! We have also decided to combine the Team Meetings for the 2023 Week-ends with the Secuelas, therefore doing away with doubling up meetings for those who travel a farther distance. Please consider serving on a team this spring (April 13-16 Men & April 20-23 Women). Be in prayer about who YOU might share the blessing of Tres Dias with by sponsoring them as a candidate. If you have questions, concerns, or just want to discuss these changes, please feel free to contact anyone serving on your Secretariat. We are always open to suggestions and you are welcome to attend any Secretariat meeting (the 3rd Thursday of each month, 6:30 pm at Payette Nazarene Church). The next Secuela will be held on Sunday, September 25th at the Ontario Nazarene Church (1131 Alameda Dr, Ontario, OR) from 2-4 pm. As always, I am looking for a Pescadore to deliver the 4th Day Talk. Feel free to volunteer! De Colores, Nancy Kolar (contact Nancy) Fall Holiday Bazaar Fundraiser Coming OCTOBER 14 & 15!

That is the heart of Tres Dias Weekends... Sponsoring a Candidate to the next weekend. Sponsorship is a vital part of the Tres Dias movement, if the community is to grow spiritually and numerically. The only way a person may become a candidate is to be sponsored by someone that has already attended a Tres Dias weekend. Sponsorship is a serious responsibility, the sponsor should seek God’s will and guidance through prayer as to whom to sponsor and be sensitive in approaching a potential candidate. The Sponsor should recognize that a long-term commitment is being made to the Candidate by sending the Candidate to a Tres Dias weekend. The weekend will not produce a permanent effect without Fourth Day involvement, and therefore, the sponsor should ‘sponsor’ the prospective candidate through all phases of the Tres Dias movement, rather than just the weekend. The Sponsor should help the new Pescador to live the 4th Day as it is presented on the weekend, by encouraging the new Pescador to be an active and contributing member of a church body, by encouraging him/her to join or form a Reunion Group, attend Secuelas, and become involved in the local Secretariat. In general, the Sponsor should be responsive to the needs of a new Pescador until the Pescador is well established in the 4th Day. This is the very reason why it is pretty important to already have a good relationship and friendship with the candidate you are sponsoring. Already knowing them, and who is important in their lives is very valuable in not only sponsoring for the weekend, but continuing to encourage and help them really fully be involved as a Pescador. We have resources for you and ways to gain knowledge about what sponsoring a candidate means. You can find information here. You can also read about what information is available for the candidate. Do you know that there is training available for Sponsors and EVERYONE who has attended a Tres Dias Weekend should take time to go through it! Here is the online sponsorship training course. Please log in and take the course. You can do this on your phone, but we recommend you do it on a computer with a larger screen. 1. Go to canvas.instructure.com/register 2. Under “Sign up now; it’s free” select I’m a Student” 3. Enter join code YXFPWC (case sensitive) 4. Use your real name and username; click Start Learning 5. You will be taken to the course home page. Click “Please read this first” 6. Read the tutorials and take the short, easy quizzes This may help you decide if NOW is the right time to sponsor those you may be thinking about sponsoring. Remember they can only go ONCE in their life as a candidate! Also please let the Secretariat know what you think about the online sponsorship training as we are considering making this sponsorship MANDATORY next year … so we need and value your input. Blessings to you all! Till we meet again!

e2 - 7/1/22 President's CornerDearest Pescadores, We have initiated this newsletter in an effort to “bind us together”. Our sister Jean Hershey has graciously taken this on in the midst of a very busy life. Such an example of serving our Lord Jesus. I receive such encouragement from her example has I do with so many of you. I feel I know many of you well enough to know you too are serving the Lord in so many ways. This is living the fourth day in faith, hope, and love. Together with the serving you do, I pray many of you will serve in the spring of 2023 to further the Tres Dias method of discipleship training to strengthen the local church. With this, I pray that any of you that find it difficult to fit into a local church will reach out to fellow Pescadores and Bind yourself together. Again, I thank you for your love for Jesus and each other. Garry Phelps JULY SECUELA SUMMER FUNFEST!YES! Our next Treasure Valley Tres Dias Secuela is a Family get-together in the Park!

July 16th! e1-6/1/22 Welcome to our 1st edition of the Treasure Valley Tres Dias of Idaho Newsletter! In an effort to stay in touch better, get information out to our community, and share about Treasure Valley Tres Dias insights and happenings, we will be publishing a monthly newsletter to our Pescadores! President's Corner: Not Just a HobbyDearest Pecadores, We are - a person who fishes either as a job or as a hobby; according to Siri. As evidenced by this Tres Dias community, we look seriously at this ministry as a work of God The Holy Spirit. The Tres Dias method of service and leadership training has changed numerous lives like mine and likely yours. I am encouraged by this community, the leadership both past and present, and the general sense that with our God, great things are possible. Serving and working alongside you is a pleasure, and we accomplish far more together than ever possible alone. Thanks so much for your heart for Tres Dias. Garry Phelps, TVTD President Why do we need Reunion Groups?Reunion groups are small group of friends who meet regularly to encourage each another to continue their Christian growth by sharing their experiences as men and women of God. Staying connected to fellow men and women serving God is essential for continued spiritual growth. Experience tells us the joy we encounter on the weekend will eventually fade without periodic maintenance. The weekend is not meant to pull anyone away from their congregation. In fact, the opposite is true. Tres Dias weekends are meant to better equip Candidates to serve their church community. And after a weekend that likely enhances one’s personal relationship with God it is helpful to maintain connections with others of similar experience. Secuelas are a great time of fun and fellowship for our whole Treasure Valley Tres Dias Community, but we need Reunion Groups. READ MORE about Reunion Groups... NO JUNE SECUELA But JULY....Yes, that is correct! We are planning an outdoor SUMMERFEST (Secuelafest) in JULY! Details are still in the works, but keep JULY 16th, 1-4 PM OPEN Mark Your Calendar now! for spectacular FUN, FOOD & FELLOWSHIP!!! Welcome Back Danny!We are so pleased to have our Spiritual Director of the Secretariat back with us in person! Danny Crego is back and living in the area again after being gone for a year studying in the Willamette Valley. Danny continued to serve our community in his physical absence by attending meetings via phone & Zoom when possible, and by sending meditations for the Secretariat meetings and Secuelas. However, you can't beat having him serve us in person and we are so glad to welcome him home! Is it time for you to serve?The Treasure Valley Community needs YOU!
