Answers to Prayer6/3 5/27 5/24 5/23 Roger Reeck (our missoinary host) has had significant recovery from the blood clots in his legs. Despite having been delayed due to lost baggage, Roger was able to meet with some people he wouldn't have otherwise been able to. An prayer answered before it was even asked!
5/21 5/7 Praise Him! Julie and Helen Marie have reached their financial goals. Alternate options for the pre-field training seem to be on the horizon. Praise God for providing ways we did not even know existed.
4/30 4/29 Great turn out at the Spud Supper with about 175 in attendance. Students did a great job presenting. Many new prayer partners came on board and about $1150 was raised! We were able to purchase great tickets for $2080! A major praise considering how much airfare has jumped this past week.
4/25 4/22 4/18 Bret has now reach his financial and prayer goals Blessing of JAARS accounting handeling our finances and helping us save money Generous donations of food towards the Spud Supper Fund-raiser For Bob Thompson introducing us to the local nursery who is donating about $2000 in plants for our sale
3/27 An opportunity to raise some money for the trip through selling flowers was presented to us that seems to be a perfect opportunity and an answer to prayer for some of the team's financial needs. Great communication continues to happen between the field and Bret. Trip seems to be coming together nicely.
3/19 3/10
