God Provides

Every day it seems that we are shocked even more by the rising fuel prices. We shared with our congregation (Memorial Baptist Church) about the additional costs and there are several who've taken the opportunity to give. The missions committee has voted to send more funds for our trip to alleviate the burden on individual team members. We are especially touched in hearing of one handicapped individual, who does not have a lot of income, giving sacrificially. It reminds us that this trip is not just this team's mission trip, but the entire church's.

Cost of trip up due to airline fuel prices

Due to the sharp increase of fuel prices, the cost of our trip to Kenya is several hundred dollars more than expected. Julie, our Buckner trip coordinator, sent us the final cost of the trip. The land costs remained the same, but the flight costs were significantly higher. June 15th is the deadline for our final payment. If you'd like to contribute to help offset these trip expenses, you can send a check to Memorial Baptist Church and denote "2008 Kenya trip" in the memo area. If you have any questions you can contact the church or Kevin and Naomi Scantlan.

What Now?

It took me a while, but I finally got our "What Now" video posted. Thanks to Dave Irovic at our chuch for putting it together. Most of these are Naomi & my pictures that we took on our Vision trip to Kenya in May 2006 with Buckner to see the work they were doing. We knew before we left that we had to do something with this song of Stephen Curtis Chapman. It spoke to what we would be doing.
