33 DAYS!!

 

It is hard to believe that in just 33 days, we will be leaving Stevens Point and heading down to Milwaukee to get ready to leave for Guatemala.

Prayers for travel are encouraged. We have all of our medicine that we need for our trip in and accounted for. Please pray that we make it thru customs with no issues. We have permission from the Government to bring the medicine however traveling into another country can always raise questions.

 

Please join us at one of our 2 sending off blessings from our churches.

Immanuel Lutheran in Wisconsin Rapids Dec 29 @ 845 service.

St Paul Lutheran Dec 29 @ 1045am service.

During these times we will get a blessing send off and will be wearing our shirts. We thank you so much for your support and prayers as we prepare for out trip.

 

 

Meet Jack. Jack is in his second year at WashU and is majoring in international studies; he will be serving as an interpreter on this trip to Guatemala. Thanks for your prayers and support. 

 

It is hard to believe that in just 49 days, we will be on our way to Guatemala. I now I am quite excited for this journey. I cannot wait to not only travel somewhere new but meet some great people and share the love of Christ with them and any one I meet.

We do have some prayers we would ask of you.

One of the rules for bringing medicine into the country is it must expire at least 1 year from the date we bring it in. Please pray that all the meds we have fit this criteria.

We are traveling done to Milwaukee on Friday night as our flight leaves very early on Saturday morning. Please pray for good driving conditions for getting to Milwaukee as well as our flights.

Please also keep in your prayers that we have no issues going thru customs. And also keep each and every one of us in your prayers as we prepare for this. We all come from different aspects and each have our own strengths. God has chosen each and every one of us for this trip. Please let us open our eyes and our hearts to what He has planned.

Proverbs 3:23-27
You'll travel safely, you'll neither tire nor trip. You'll take afternoon naps without a worry, you'll enjoy a good night's sleep. No need to panic over alarms or surprises, or predictions that doomsday's just around the corner, Because God will be right there with you; he'll keep you safe and sound. Never walk away from someone who deserves help; your hand is God's hand for that person.   

Oops, I forgot 2 people! One being me. :)

 

This is Anne Jensen and she is a dental hygienist. We are very excited to have a dental clinic this time!

This is me, Christina Montgomery. As a mother, I have a hard time finding a picture of myself so

I thought this picture of the kids & me would work.



Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

 

I wanted to take a moment to introduce some of the members of our team.

2 Corinthians 9:7  Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Good Morning all, Can you believe in 90 days we will be heading to Guatemala? Me neither but it's true! I cannot wait to start everything. We will have the Medical Clinic that, have VBS to share the love of Our Savior, Jesus Christ to the children and help build the stoves.
Aside from the $1,500 per person we need for our individual travel expenses, we also need to raise roughly $5,000 to fund our efforts while we are there. That is where our friends and family can help us. Not only do we need you to pray for us prior to our travels and while we are there, but we could also use your financial support. I ask that you prayfully consider making a donation towards our trip. Any amount will help.

A Tax Deductible donation can be made to: St Paul Lutheran Church, c/o Guatemala Mission Trip, 1919 Wyatt Ave, Stevens Point, WI 54481. Please put Guatemala Mission in the subject line as well. Thank you for your prayers and financial support from us all.

Good Morning all! As I type this, I think how in 100 days we will be leaving around this time from Milwaukee to Guatemala. How exciting yet nervous I am!
We met this past Sunday as a group and one thing we learned is our original plan on taking a direct flight out of Chicago is no longer available as TACA Airlines no longer provides that flight. We will now be leaving out of a Milwaukee though we have a connecting flight in Dallas.

 

Please keep us in your prayers for travel as this does change a few things. We know God has a plan, a reason for this change. Thank you & God's Blessings to you all.

 

Greetings, this is part of our group that is going. We have our next meeting on

 Sunday, September 21 so watch for more information to come! God's Blessings.
