Fun-Raisers!!
As many of you know, we (Eddie & I) need to raise $3,000 by June 1st. We have sent out our support letters and have several fun-raisers planned for the next couple weeks.
1st fundraiser-Church Yard Sale on May 10th-Eddie and I are participating in another yard sale that is taking place at Crossroads Church. Alot of our friends & family have donated items for us to sell. We had even thought about trying to sell biscuits and baked items again, but not sure if that will work out. Anyway, at least we'll have tons of items & clothes for people to purchase.
2nd fundraiser-The missions team will be selling boxed lunches after church services on May 18th and again on June 1st. I think it will be hot dogs, but not sure. Craig is still working on our food choices for this event.
3rd fundraiser-Kimberley is working on a deal with a local car wash to sell car wash tickets and we can get 50% return, but again, not sure if this will work out.
So, as you can see, the missions team is trying hard to raise our total amt of about $22,000. Please be in prayer for us as we continue to raise our money for the mission trip.

The Sweet Sixteen
Just wanted to let everyone know who is on the missions team. Our team of 16 consist of Lowell (senior pastor) McNaney and his daughter Cassie, Craig (executive pastor) Luper, Dr. Richard Ozment and his 2 children Ashlyn & Grant, J.R. & Kimberly Cousineau and their daughter Carlee, Billy McClendon, Brad Cox, Dawn Fisher, Tamara Johnson, Jerry Satterfield, and us (Tina & Eddie).
As you can see, the sweet sixteen members are diverse in age and gifts, but God has called each one of us to the task of sharing His word. We are all excited about the journey and are looking forward to coming back and sharing all of our stories with you.

Our journey begins...
At the beginning of this year, God began to show Tina and I the need to 'expand our borders' and reach out to areas in need in the world.
After much prayer, and a leap of faith, we are continuing to follow God's direction and go with a missions team to South Africa for a little over two weeks.
We are leaving our two boys, Greyson and Parker in the capable hands of our parents and siblings.
Leaving the boys for over two weeks will be very difficult, so this situation alone we will need much prayer about it.
We are going to South Africa to minister to and work with the people and tribes there under the direction of Umbono and a local missionary there Nick Vaughan-Jones.
We will be visiting a hospital there ministering and prayering with the many children who are affected with HIV/AIDS. We will be showing the Jesus film in villages and sharing our testimony with tribes there.
We will be doing some light construction work, painting, and repair work on some of the homes and churches there.
We will be following up with our schedule, fund-raisers and various other interest to share with you. We look forward sharing this adventure with you!
Our first 'fund-raiser' was in the form of a yard-sale that we had set up our house sometime back and decided this was a good opportunity to raise money.
Tina's parents donated items to sale, as did my brother and mom. My mom was also gracious enough to donate her cooking talents to allow us to sale biscuits, cookies and muffins.
