We cannot
believe it is only another short four weeks till our team gathers at our church
hall with our well and full packed bags early in the morning to travel down to
Dublin Airport to board a flight to Prague, CZ and begin this exciting
adventure of a mission to see what God is up to in the lives of Czech students
and join His ministry in the beautiful country. We are well aware of not being
able to do any of this without your continuous support, in both prayer and
finances. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you again, for your
love, care and support, and also to tell you a little bit of the work our team
has put into fundraising so far.
We have two
fundraisers done, and another two to go. Our first fundraiser was two weeks
ago, it was a Ladies’Movie Night and we thank all the ladies for all their
individual support – in helping to cater, in coming along to show support, in
praying from their homes on the night, in the rich donations they brought. It
was a great night spent in the sense of fellowship and fun. I heard from more
than one of them it was good to leave the kids home with their husbands and
just take a break and not think about what the house was going to look like
when they came back – we are glad to have provided such a night for you all.
You were a blessing to serve!
Our second
one was just this past weekend, Rachel and her Mum Gwen Jackson were so kind as
to open their home to host a Coffee Afternoon.
It was a beautiful day and therefore everyone was able to enjoy their coffee,
tea and beautiful buns & cakes outside on the sunshine, people chatted and
laughed and relaxed and we were blessed to serve in such a practical way to
people who smiled and shone joy in financially supporting the team. Thank you
so much if you were in any way a part of this afternoon, and a special thanks
to Rachel and Gwen Jackson for not only providing their home, but also for the
days leading to this event and all the planning involved. We appreciate it so
much!
Our next
fundraiser is a Table Quiz written by one of the team members, it will take
place at Saintfield High School this Saturday June 15th at 7 PM.
Everyone is very welcome, it will be a night full of laughter and fun, children
welcome as well. Teams are to be 4-10 members and suggested donation per person
is £5.
Our last fundraiser will be a Soup Lunch on the 23rd June, after the church service in Saintfield, which will also be our team’s commissioning service, please come along as the church sends us and the team will serve you in a practical way while you ask each team member about their experience and reasons to go on this trip.
Thank you
for being there, praying, supporting, loving and encouraging. You are a vital
part of this trip and we are eternally thankful for all you are to the team, as
individuals as well as a group of supporters. I couldn’t sum it up any better
than the following picture does. God bless you.
