The Need is Now Greater



Our Russia team met yesterday and the price for the trip has gone up from $2500.000 to $3500.00 per person. We are asking everyone who has given or is thinking of giving to do so as God leads them to. Perhaps even to give more than once.

Of all the teams that our going out from our church this year (total of 5), our Russia trip is the most expensive by almost 50%.

Why the increase? The airfare is more expensive than expected and the camp cost is higher than expected.

Thanks for helping. We're trusting God to do a miracle. God will provide.

This is a picture from last years' camp. We will visit this camp in the summer.

It's Starting

I have begun to receive reponse slips from many of you. It's so amazing. The need is still great, but I know God is moving in many people's hearts.

I have some missionary friends in Nicaragua, and they need a car. They also wish for simple things like an iPod. I am amazed at how they feel bad for wanting a car so they can go shopping and get out of town with their children once in a while. A car is not a luxury even in Nicaragua, it's a necessity. It reminds me how much we have here, and it reminds me to thank God and to thank you for your help.

This Sunday we meet with our Russia team to work on our stories of how God has been working in our lives.
