What is happening now

So it has been a few months since we talked to the missionaries and things are still running smoothly. We are probably going to be helping with a reading program for the kids and possibly a vacation bible school (VBS). A lot of prayer is pretty much all we are doing right now. We all are still trying to figure out exactly what God wants us to do. Air fare is the other thing that we have figured out. Unfortunately, we are having some problems finding chaperones. We are going to need people to drive us about six hours from the airport to the destination and we do not have anyone dedicated at the moment.

The start of it all

This idea all started with a simple act. I thought it was unfair girls could not operationally go on any of the mission trips in our church. So I went up to our Pastor and told him what I was thinking. A lot of our missionaries has been coming to our church, so I was thinking about each one as they did their presentations. The missionaries that I wanted to help are a couple in Canada working with Indian tribes. After church that Sunday, a friend and I went up to the missionaries and told them we were interested in doing a mission trip there and they received us openly. They told us what we needed to do and we accomplished this task. After many e-mails, we have really started to get things rolling now. This blog will update on the events going on about the trip. These small steps of just mentioning something to our pastor has led to an amazing thing. The start of a mission in life that I promise I will complete, even if it takes a few years.
