Next Meeting January 16

 A big thank you to all the folks who donated items for the mission. We will continue to collect school supplies, clothing, shoes and small toys till January 16.

And a huge thank you to all who helped pack up supplies! Each team member “adopted” and packed suitcases, will inventory their contents, and bring them to San Juan de La Maguana.

The next team meeting is January 16. The team will be commissioned during the service. Afterwards we will complete the final packing.

A tasty lunch will be provided of course 😊

Prayer Request:

Though we will be flying out of Madison, it may be wise to get the team there the night before. Our flight departs at 6:45 Saturday morning and we need to be at the airport by 4:30AM.

We’re asking for wisdom over an additional $400 cost for the entire team.

Team Meeting

 Gather your spare suitcases, questions, and appetite!

We will have our team meeting on Sunday December 19 at Grace Bible Church after the worship service, starting about noon.

With our humanitarian airfare we can each check 3 suitcases. We have 6 large boxes of medications and supplies to distribute as well as some school supplies, toys and clothes for distribution.

And we’ll have some delicious barbecue!

Prayer Request

 I just got an email late last night that American Airlines has cancelled the flights we were booked on.

Please pray that Katrina (Mission Nation Travel) will be able to make similar arrangements.

We love because God first loved us.
