Mission Trip to Montana '08

Andrew & I (Kim) will be leaving this Friday early AM along with about 103 other people (high school youth and leaders) to three small towns of Montana. The name of the three towns, so that you can be praying for them by name, are Plains, Superior and Deer Lodge. Our teams will be putting on VBS in all three towns, doing community development (fixing things, painting, maintainance, chopping wood, delivery of wood and food etc), community outreach events and prison ministry in Deer Lodge.

Please be praying for
* safety for travel
* safety in the towns as we all work on sites and interact with the town people
* open hearts of the children and adults we encounter in each town
* opportunities for each of us to share our faith and testimonies
* against the enemy who would not want us there reaching these towns for Christ
* follow-up: that the churches are able to welcome and disciple the people who accept Jesus and need a church home to learn and grow

Also, please be praying for Paul, Joshua and Matthew who will be home. Joshua and Matthew will be spending the weekdays we are gone at family friends homes and Paul will be working. Pray for their well-being!

I am so excited to get to go out with the youth on this mission trip. It is always such a blessing to work with kids who are eager to share their faith and aren't held back by the "status quo" of the world yet. I learn so much about myself and my own fear to stretch myself and go outside my comfort zone in order to win people to Christ. And it is fun too! =D

We leave on Friday, July 25th and return Saturday, August 2nd in the afternoon. We would appreciate everyone being on their knees to help prepare the way and sustain us while we are there.

Thank you!
Kim
