Cupcakes!

It's become an annual tradition:  Our last meeting before departure was a potluck, complete with "fund raising" cupcakes.  Thanks Kelly Shewbert!  Thanks Jane Decker!
     We've handed out all the supplies for people's luggage & prayed for students & staff!
We leave in 2 days:  Please pray for travel mercies:  safe travel, make our connections, all the luggage & supplies arrive....and divine appointments on the planes & airports.
And pray for dry & warm weather when we need to do outside activities:  Current long range forecast shows showers & light rain.
Mostly, please pray for a great impact on these students!

Countdown continues!

We leave Tuesday!  Please pray for safe travels & some sort of rest & energy.....as our 1st activities will be Junior High "Oasis" and High School "Refuge" youth groups on Tuesday evening...after being up for 30+ hours!

9 Days to go!

9 days to go...and we're packing up retreat & ministry supplies in Rubbermaids:  bandannas, burlap, flame decor, shirts, cellophane, first aid supplies, ping-pong balls, and a few gifts (even some jam & clothing)
Please continue to pray:
1) We remember all of these supplies--and they arrive intact
2) Health for the team (and students)--to be effective help
3) Support $$$ comes in before we leave (we're currently at 74%)
4) Boldly share our faith!

Commissioned to serve!

 This past weekend, our church sent us out---with prayers to reach others!  We leave in 2 weeks!

                                            Everyone needs a little prayer reminder!!!!

                                                   Here we are in our snazzy team shirts!!!

Letters are in the mail!

Yay!  100s of support letters went out in the USPS 3 weeks ago.  Hope you got one. (If not, contact us!) Your letter might look like the letter on the left....and will have a "goldenrod" slip of paper with it.  More importantly:  Lots of prayer details.
     This photo helps you pray too:
1) The little green Army men want you to be on alert to pray that the Holy Spirit "fans the flames" of new faith & growth
2) The "Spring Break 2014" brochure just makes it real!  Pray that students sign up.  Deadline for them is March 21st!
            Three weeks to go!!!!!
