Howdy,
We are excited to announce that at our first big fundraiser of the year we raised
$1,176.05! All of this will go straight into our team fund to help each person get to the individual goal for the trip of $1,050.
This fundraiser was our annual Chili-Cook-Off where about 150 people showed up and had their fill of 26 different Chili's. Families and even students made and entered their own Chili recipe into a contest. Congratulations to Samantha Gann, David Stephens and Kathy Baker for winning their categories! Thank you to all who helped, entered Chili, and to our judges!
Well, on to our next big fundraiser... our annual Yard Sale! It will be held at the Welsh home on April 10 and 11 from 8am-3pm both days. WE NEED STUFF TO SELL! If you can rummage around the house and garage and gather up items to donate give us a call. It's easier to raise money when we have lots of good stuff to sell. :)
You can bring it to church or straight to the Welsh's home from now until April 8. Call me or Joanna Welsh before you bring it in though.
Then, tell everybody to come and shop on the Yard Sale days! And, be praying that God will wow us once again with amazing financial provision through our efforts.
Thanks,
Josh Harris

Violence in Mexico
Hello,
As some of you may know there has been a rise in the violence in Mexico lately. We are concerned not just for our trip but for the people and missionaries that live there.
-Please be praying for the safety of the missioaries.
-Please pray for the salvation and transformed lives of those causing this violence.
-Please pray that God will keep a window open for us this summer to go and further his truth, love, and gospel!
Each year our trip works under New Tribes Mission. We travel with them, work for them, and follow their guidance during our trip. Thus, I have confidence and peace in the experience and leadership of NTM to make decisious for us on safety. They will tell us if it is too dangerous to go down there and work with them this summer. As long as they believe it is safe for us to come work with them I trust we will be fine.
So we continue to prepare and plan for this trip. There is still 5 months of time for God to work and the violence to decrease. We plan on going unless we hear a no from our leadership at NTM.
Please keep praying,
-Josh for the Team

Mexico Team is coming together!
Hello,
Introducing the team! :)
Our Team is almost put together, we are just waiting on a female college leader. Our H.S. students going, for now, this year are: Zach R., Brett W., Stephen G., Jake B., Daniel M., Caleb G., Aleah S., Kelly W., Cari W., Kate W., Kaley Y., Ann R., and Kelso S.. Myself, Mrs, Rigel and Josh B. will be going as well as leaders.
We are excited about what God wants to do in each of our lives through this experience!
Please be praying for these students and for all of us to have wisdom and energy to fulfill our roles in the team. Each student will be working to earn $330 of the trip cost on their own apart from our group fundraisers. They will also be sending out letters to families and friends to let them know of the trip soon.
