LET’S TRUST THE LORD TO KEEP COSTS DOWN. THESE ARE HIS RESOURCES! AND REMEMBER…
“COUNT ON IT! GOD’S WILL, DONE GOD’S WAY, NEVER LACKS FOR HIS SUPPLY.” (J. HUDSON TAYLOR)
Becky I think that our team (unknown the amount of people going as of yet) should be over there from May 2 -14 as well. Is your team going to be a full one and are they going with Mission Direct or are they going with the Project Restore Hope? Can't wait to get back over there going to be fun and I believe that we are going to be working at the CIty of Rest again. Do you know if Mark is going again when we are there as I would love to see him again. Pass along my prayers to Tom. Stay safe
