Meeting for Team Missions Trip coming up Jan 4!

Hello all -

I have posted a note on Facebook for those of you I know to be interested in the August 2011 missions trip, but if you are interested and I don't know it, please let me know!  The meeting will be on Tues, Jan 4 at 6pm at my house (I'm not posting the address here on the web! send me a message...). We will be talking about our previous trips to Uganda, the overall Ten Eighteen mission, showing pictures, talking about the sports camp and safari, deadlines, costs, etc. We'd love to see you! (If you can't come but are interested in the trip, just let me know and I'll send you the info we discuss afterwards!)

Holly Days!

We raised $960 in donations at Holly Days, plus another $190 in "home shopping" donations on Friday and today. Very exciting!  We are looking forward to our final wire transfers of 2010, to provide the school fees for our 16 sponsored children, and wiring more money to Arise Africa for the school. We have been so blessed to be able to serve these wonderful people in 2010, and are so looking forward to all God will do in 2011!

Money to the school, and another craft fair coming up!

We wired $1600 to Arise Africa on Friday for the school. Things have started there, and we are excited that the donations are coming in, slowly but steadily. So to date we've sent $8600! That's really exciting!

We've seen some good interest in the missions trip, and I will be sending out an email/Facebook message to have an informational meeting soon. I know a lot of you are praying about going, and we will need to have some commitments probably in January to start the process and do some fundraising - August isn't that far away!

We will be at Holly Days at Sanderson High School in Raleigh on Dec 4-5. Come by and make a donation, see what's going on, and get some jewelry! The hours are 9-5 Sat and 12-5 Sunday.

Everyone have a safe Thanksgiving, and bless you all for your support!
