Mission Trips

This has been a very busy week and I am feeling

very behind in visiting all my friends

in blogland.

This year God has opened some wonderful

 missions opportunities for our family.

Wayne and Zac will be going to Monterrey,  Mexico

this summer to serve in orphanages with a 

ministry called Back to Back.

Madison has been selected to serve at

The Happy Church, in Jackson KY.

This is a youth group project that is focused

on building relationships with the youth from the Happy Church.

Our youth kids will be traveling this weekend

to Jackson to learn about the area, youth and local culture.

They will be going back down for a week this summer

to host a VBS and another day to do service projects.

The kids from The Happy Church will also be bused up here

to spend a day out and about here in  Cincinnati!

As it turned out....

I will also be experiencing a mission trip

to the Happy Church.

Instead of the youth, I will be working with

women from my church to host an event

for the women of the Happy Church!

I will go down, along with a dear friend,

to Jackson this weekend.

We will fill a need for the youth trip by doing

the kitchen duty for them.

When we are not knee deep in pancakes

and tacos, we will be working with the 

 women's leadership at the Happy Church

to better understand the needs of the women in the area.

We will then spend the next two months planning

a Women's Event for this summer!

We would love to be lifted up this weekend in prayer...

first- for safe travels for the youth and leadership...

second- that God would open our eyes to the needs

of these sweet women!

I will be back this Sunday

and hope to catch up with all of you... ASAP!

Isn't this the most beautiful flower?

It was a gift from my neighbor!
