missions update

Last night we went to the youth group of Atlantic, Iowa. First off we visited this church on a Sunday morning last summer and it was awesome. The church had many people who had gone on Missions trips to Mexico and loved it. It made it so easy for us to talk about Mexico. Also my great grandma lived in Atlantic and she is also buried their. So we went and found her old house and her burial plot after we left.. It brought back lots of memories for me... So Andy had called and offered to speak at the Youth group and they said of course. So last night we went and it is just a church that you fall in love with. The people are truly loving and kind. The youth group has a male leader who has sort of taken over the Youth Pastor role and one women leader. That is it!!!!!!!

They had about 12-15 kids there, but we had a wonderful time.. It is just hard, i know at Berean we were so grateful for all the help we had. It was awesome, it just breaks your heart to go other places and see all the needs.. I must always remember though, that God sees those needs and i believe and pray that the right leaders would be rising up now, to go to that church and give of themselves.. If i could i would go to that church every Wednesday.. It was a good group....

Anyway i thought i would also write an update on how we are doing with raising funds......

On our Monthly Budget we are at about 60%, and on cash offering we are at 95%..

Praise God, this whole process, i have said that i am not going to worry, because God will make a way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe that 100%

Our goal is to leave at the end of August...... to go to Costa Rica..
