Hello everyone,

I'm Christelle, the International Petal Coordinator. It's my role to try to welcome International people to the forum, especially those of you interested in setting up SPEAK netwroks in your own countries. I am about to post the SPEAK Network manual up onto the forum, which outlines all our advice for people wanting to set up a network. If after reading this you'd like to get in touch and share some or your ideas/difficulties/questions/stories please either post on this forum, contact the office, or contact me on .

An important role for this forum will be to keep all our affiliated groups up-to-date with one another's activities/prayer requests etc. We'd really love it if as many people as possible could post about what their groups have been doing (UK groups are welcome to join in too!) Also, the next issue of Volumize will focus on International groups, so if anyone can send in updates to me or that would be great!

Also if anyone would like to know if there are any existing contacts/interested people or groups in their country please email me. We are hoping to have an International forum meeting in Barcelona soon..watch this space for more information!

Look forward to reading your posts/emails,

Christelle
