Chili Dinner

Success! The chili dinner was a huge hit! We raised a lot of money and now we are finished. We have met our goal. God is good! I had no idea that sooo many people would show up. I was serving chili and my hand got cramped up from holding the ladle so long haha but it was all worth it.

Thanks to my supporters! There is no way we could be done fund raising this early without each one of you.

On a different note I got very sick after the chili dinner and missed a lot of school. I am still trying to catch up in my classes and regain my strength. If this would have been a month later the possibility of me going on the trip would be very slim. So if i had to get sick at all now was the time. Everyday I am feeling better and better. However, it has made the trip come even faster! Its going to be here before I know it!

Things to pray for:

• That i continue to get caught up in my school work
• That i can regain my strength
  
• To prepare my heart and mind for the trip and what God is going to show me
• To prepare the team in general
• Safety and health
  

Half way!

I am very excited to announce that I am approximately half way to my fund raising goal! I am truly blessed with all this generosity! Every time I open an envelope my jaw drops! Thank you for your continued prayers and support as we keep getting ready for our trip.

Time to Get Serious

As many of you probably already know during spring break of 09 I am going with a team from FVCC to the DR. I am creating this blog, a lot like my Kenya blog, to update my supporters and to give specifics on prayer requests.


Today we had another team meeting before our trip to the Dominican Republic. We talked about our Chili dinner that we are hosting on the 23rd of January at the church. 100% of the donation money is going to fund raising for our trip. Its going to be an awesome night for families or anyone who wants wonderful home cooked chili and likes to socialize and play games. There is also going to be a student auction where one can bid on a student to do a certain service for them (babysit, clean, organize, shovel, etc).

Things to Pray for:

• The money aspect of the trip that all our funds are met
• Safety
• Preparation of our hearts and to be ready to be Gods hands and feet.
• Organization
