Three months until take-off!

I have great news to report! There are four new Christians in India as a result of a team from Tennessee that went in June and did what we will be doing in October! For all of you that have been praying for the Indians...thank you! You played an important role in the harvest! Also, hundreds of homes have access to the Gospel as a result of the cassettes that were distributed. Due to increased gov't restrictions, distribution of Bibles is not currently allowed, so please pray that this restriction will be lifted before October. But God proved He is bigger than restrictions during that team's stay, and we praise Him for that!

At this Sunday's training, we will be hitting the steps at the local university's football stadium. Hopefully my time in the gym with the weights, stair master, and treadmill will pay off. I've had the opportunity to share about my trip more as a result of questions regarding why I'm on the treadmill with boots and my weighted backpack on the highest setting of incline that is available! That will not prepare me for Kentucky heat & humidity in the middle of the day in July though!

For those that live in the area...here are a few ways you can support the team if you're interested:

* On Saturday, Aug. 5, we will be having a yard sale in Auburn (off 68/80). You could either donate unwanted "treasures" from your home or come shop! We have a place to store items, so let me or another team member know if you have anything you'd like picked up!

* On Sundays: Aug. 12, 19, and 26 we will be working the 10/40 Cafe at Living Hope and proceeds will support our trip.

* On Wednesdays: Aug. 15 and Sept. 5, we will be responsible for the Mission Meals at Living Hope and proceeds will support our team.

For people living everywhere...we treasure your prayer support!

Here is a picture from last year's team:

Other prayer requests:

* Jeff is part of a team heading to Africa soon to serve.

* My sister's family is currently in route to America from Guatemala with their adopted son, Micah.
