We have had several fundraisers - Bouthahn's and Hacienda - so far - and support letters are going out. So far we have raised about $5200 of the $30,000 we need for the 20 of us to go and minister in El Salvador. By June 8th, we must make a big payment for our airline tickets. We have been able to make every payment so far, just when it was needed.
I have had the amazing privilege of traveling in Latin America many times during my adult years (DR 2x, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil x4, and Guatemala). I love the people of Central and SA and have learned so much through their generosity and the priority they place on relationships. I appreciate their laid back attitudes and flexibility.....except when I am waiting for answers and am on a deadline! Ugh! I am sure in the end we will be a great experience with Christ for the City International and I am learning to be patient and trust. (waiting for our itinerary and several other important answers to my zillion questions)
Looking forward to another team meeting this Thurs. at 7. I look forward to when the HS students are out of school and maybe we can have a meeting with the FULL team!
Going to make bidding sheets for the auction now.
THIS SATURDAY is our Italian Dinner and Silent Auction at 6 pm at Community Gospel Church. Pray for a great time and successful fundraiser!
Because I am weak,
Julie
