Thank you!

Thank you to all of you who came out and supported the SoBo's fundraiser this past Sunday. It raised a nice amount to add to our funds. Dark Gold Jazz played and were wonderful as always. It was a great time of hanging out with friends and eating good food for a good cause! :-)

Just sharing

Countdown continues

3 Weeks and counting...

3 weeks from today we will be on a plane heading towards Guatemala. Personally, I am getting VERY excited! I am so in love with the people of Guatemala. I love the culture and the atmosphere of love and joy in all the people. Even when they have nothing, they have their families and love. I wish that the people of OUR country had this attitude. I think our country would be in a much better state morally and spiritually. Or at least the family unit would be more important and treasured among people.

Prayer requests:
Health of team members from this point on
Hearts of the team members - that we would all be prepared to accept what we see and love on the people
Hearts of the Guatemalas - that they would be prepared to accept our love and God's love

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

**TOMORROW is the SoBo's benefit event. Come have lunch or dinner and support the team.

Church Dedication Video

On the January 2008 trip, our team built a church building onto the side of an existing school. It was also going to be used for the school during the week. We started building on Monday with Carlos (the head of the mission) saying that we were going to hold a church service in the building on Friday night. We all thought there was NO WAY this was going to happen. Well, sure enough! God showed up and the team finished the church building in 3 full days and 2 half days (that's 4 days if you're not a big counter)!!!! The video above was taken during the dedication service Friday evening. There were almost 40 people that gave their lives to Christ that night. God truly worked miracles that week...

Few things

God pulled through (as He always does) and we were able to make our final payment this week!! We are now down to 28 days and I am getting SO excited!! :-)

Prayers are now needed for final preparations for the team members, packing, preparing to be away from families for 8 days, some are traveling to a third world country for the first time.

If you live in the Salisbury area, there is going to be a fundraiser at SoBo's Restaurant on Sunday, Dec 28th. 20% of SALES goes towards the team.

We are collecting items that the mission needs. If you would like to donate, please bring items to the fundraiser on the 28th, to Soul Discovery any Sunday until Jan 11 or contact a team member.

Thank you for your prayers and support!!!
