More New Plans!

Well, looks like Ethiopia is "back on" again. smile. We are going to have to work HARD at fund-raising about $5,000 for us to go and $5-8,000 for the latrine/construction funds. It's overwhelming to think about...yet November seems to be the date that works the best for the Ethiopians. The school children would do better with me tutoring them in November. Please pray that if it's God's will everything will come through.

Brett is safely in Jamaica! We are praying that he will grow in the Lord while there, and that they will touch many for Jesus...that the Jamaicans will see the light of God through them and that the group will be able to serve them in many ways.

Lauren needs much prayer. Her leg is still injured from running and they aren't sure what the problem is still. She is awaiting insurance okay for a MRI. She really needs prayer for a quick healing. She is due at a running camp in a few weeks - it's a mission opportunity with AIA. It may be a problem if she still is unable to run.

Thanks for all the prayers!!

Bake Sale

Thanks to our awesome class we raised $333 for our mission trips! We want to thank our families who donated goodies to sell, and everyone who donated and purchased items! This will be a great help to support HIS work this year. Thank you!

2009! A Big Year Again

2009 will be another big year for mission trips. Brett has been taking a year long missions class at school - the first to be offered at CCHS. The trip has been in preparation for their Jamaica mission trip in June. Brett still has about $600 to raise. They have done all the fund-raising in school and sending letters. Please pray for the entire group as they prepare to leave. It has been a wonderful experience because the kids have done all the planning work for the trip.

Lauren will be interning this summer at Lakeside Church in the missions department so she will be going to Brazil. This is the same trip I went on last year and it will be a wonderful experience!! The favela area really breaks your heart. I am sure it will be a time of growth and learning and sharing the gospel with a spiritually famished area.

Lee and I are planning a trip to Ethiopia in November. The details are not specific yet but we hope to return to Achebar where Lee brought water last year.

Thank you for praying for us this year!

Ethiopia again!

We are planning another trip to Ethiopia - Lee and Pam this time! It's in the early stages so nothing is quite firm yet - but we are praying and beginning to plan. The school that is there will be graduating their first senior class and I hope to go and tutor the children to help them pass their exam - it is given in English! I also hope to work with the younger children. Lee hopes to go and work more at the school on construction - perhaps a bathroom. We are planning early because it will be a large trip with both of us going and will take lots of prayer! Please pray with us as we see what God brings our way!
