Team Updates.......



Time is winding down, excitement is building, and preparations for camp are under way!


Of course a lot has taken place since our last blog post including some very obvious and significant events presently surrounding the Middle East. The violence continues in Syria, Libya, etc.  The death of Osama Bin Laden brings additional cautions for Americans.  While the travel warnings are high, we are excited and confident because God is in absolute control! 


Although only two team members have raised their full support, all glory to God that we were still able to move forward with purchasing airline tickets for the entire team. However, we are still in need of funds for room and board, camp supplies, etc.  We are praying to not just reach but exceed our 100% of our support by June 15th.


We just placed our order for the arts & crafts that we will be making with the children.  We have tote bags to decorate, glow in the dark glasses, T-shirts to tie dye, and much more.  We're asking our church family to donate some items such as glitter glue, craft jewels, acrylic paint, frisbees, balloons, Aleve, and ice packs.  We've been working on songs and the team is putting together a Bible story skit which involves puppets and there's a comedy act too!  There will be rock climbing, wiffle ball, and water balloon games. There is no doubt that the kids will have an awesome time at camp this year. We can't wait to see the smiles on their faces as they participate in all of these activities!


We can't carry out this camp without you. The smiles and laughter that the each child shares with us during our time with them, is made possible by your heart for God, your prayers, and your giving.

The Lebanon 2011 Mission team needs your donations to complete the trips' medical & sports inventory. We need: 1 box of exam gloves, 1 box - 25 gauze pads, 2 ace wraps, 4 ice packs, balloons, 3 frisbees, any kind of inflatable sports ball including nerf, volleyball, soccer, & kick balls as well as 8 blue, 8 red, 8 yellow, and 8 green bandanas. If you can help, please label these items for Lebanon & bring to Missions Mall or send an email to Chantelle Cudger at spiritual-qt@hotmail.com to make arrangements to send your donations.  We are also still accepting arts & craft donations as well.

If you would like to donate online you are more than welcome to do so using the following link: https://my.fba.org/portal/mission_trip_giving.aspx . You may select "Unassigned Contact" and leave a note that your giving is specifically for donations if you would like for your financial contribution to be designated towards the items listed above or if you would like to support the team so that we can reach our goal by June 15th.




Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support.
