This weekend was the Genesis visitation weekend at Simpson University, and as a part of that ther is the annual Street Fair. All of the Simpson missions teams put together a table or a booth displaying information about their trip, handing out cultural food, giving out prayer cards, and just talking to people about their trips. It is always a lot of fun and a great way to let people know what you will be doing.Our booth turned out amazing! Our wonderful team painted the beautiful signs over the table and we displayed Natalie and Hannah's paintings. We had fun fact cards and statistics about sex trafficking, as well as prayer bracelets to remind people to pray for us as they look at their bracelets. It was a great time and very enjoyable!
We have also been busy the past couple weeks preparing for our various fundraisers and raising funds. Our airfare money is due this Friday (around $7000 for the team, $1100 individually) and we are doing really well raising our funds! Each of us only has a couple hundred dollars left to raise and we trust the Lord's provision for this. After we are able to buy our plane tickets we can raise the rest of our funds for our trip. We have a few fundraisers planned for our team which we are really excited about.
On Saturday we are having a Yard Sale with the Costa Rica missions team. The yard sale will be a large collection of donated items and we will be having it on the basketball courts of Simpson University. We have large furniture items as well as clothes, shoes, home decor, electronics, and much more. Please come out to help support our team!
Other than hat we are still preparing for our trip and getting ourselves ready. Some prayer requests we have are:
- continued financial provision
- Comfort as stress builds with school, the trip, and other commitments
- continued cooperation amongst our team and unity
