Final Preparations

So we are all ready to get some sleep before heading to the airport, but the anticipation is keeping us up and last minute worries about all the luggage that needs to be huffed over to the tarmac is building up on our minds. Nothing too exciting has happened so far (other then a garrage puppet show, and lots of goofing around) but we can't wait to get on the plane and be on our way to serving the Lord in Bolivia. Please be praying for us to have a safe trip, health for those of us getting over sicknesses or just starting to get one, and that nothing happens to our luggage as we have lots of it. . . . And on a different subject, personally I can't wait to see the stars in Bolivia. We'll check back soon once we have touched down in Bolivia. God Bless.

Update: Finances

After a little anxiety about finances, God has made himself apparent once again. Our $400 deficit is longer...I would still ask for continued prayer for finances and for God to further make himself known through His provision. Thank you all for your commitments to the team in prayer and support!

Departure Information

The team will be flying out of the Portland Airport, August 21st, Thursday morning at 7am. We'll be together Wednesday night in Portland, finalizing the details of the trip. We won't be arriving in Cochabamba, Bolivia until the next morning around 9am. That'll be about 26 hours of traveling straight! Please keep us in your prayers, that flights will be timely, bags will go where they should, and for travel arrangements to go as planned. We're nearly on our way!

Prayer Request: Finances

Due to the increased costs of the entry visas, airfare home, an overnight stay in Santa Cruz, an exit fee and the declining US dollar, we're heading to Bolivia financially tight... We need another $500 for the team. If not, Dan (Our missionary) joked with the idea of fasting for a few days to make up for the difference...Please pray for that not to be necessary. Our prayer is for God's continued blessing on this team and mission.

The Team Members are:

Kaliyah Wood * Adam Rardin * Bethany Jennings

Greg Peterson * * Trimmie Loud

Emily McMahon * Colin Halstead * Darcy Gadach

(The names match-up with pictures below)

*Joe Tepe is another team member who will be meeting us down in Cochabamba

THANK YOU

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS!

BECAUSE OF YOU, WE'RE ABLE TO GO TO BOLIVIA

PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR OUR TEAM

Financial update

Things are moving along nicely, financially. We are a few thousand dollars away from our goal. Woohoo!
