We just completed our first fund raiser dinner and it went really well. I believe this is the first time we did tacos. We also raised over $1,000. At times, when we think about how much money we have to raise and how little time we have, it is overwhelming. It seems that with the first commitment to do one of these trips the enemy begins his opposition. But our God has seen us through before and He is able to meet our needs again. I ask prayer for all of our team members and especially for Pastor Chuck and Pat. This is a really big responsibility for both of them. Pray that God will meet the financial needs, for Chuck and Pat as they prepare to lead this trip, safety for each member as they work to raise the funds needed, and safety as we go.
A special thanks to the parents and kids who worked very hard to make this diner work. Some of the parents showed skills that we did not know they had. Many of the middle and high school youth also helped out. We are really proud of how our youth are more than willing to help out with ministries like this. Some of them have already been on a summer mission trip and others are too young to go. Hang in there guys, soon enough you will be old enough and we look forward to that time when you can also go.
