Preparations

Hello everyone

Thanks for checking in on our Bolivia 2007 Blog! We are preparing for our time in Trinidad-Beni, Bolivia. We are preparing physically by making sure we're immunized and ready to go; we are preparing emotionally by going to Team meetings and staying connected to one another so that we can bond as a team; and we are preparing spiritually by praying - together at Team Meetings, individually in our quiet times with the Lord, and asking others to pray for us; we are focusing on specific Scriptures as well as searching God's Word and discovering His Holy Spirit speaking to us individually through all different Scripture passages.

We are also beginning to gather supplies to bring down to La Palmera. This year we are asked to bring a bunch of medical supplies and medications for the brand new health centre. We are also bringing some children's clothing as well as craft and school supplies. Of course, we are also praying for financial gifts to bring along to purchase construction materials, school materials and the myriad of things it takes to sustain a church, school, health center and a camp that is currently in development.

Thanks for visiting our blog. Please pray that we'll all be prepared - physically, emotionally and spiritually. We want to bear much fruit as we come in Jesus' great Name.

Getting excited! Shelly

I’m getting excited too Shelly! Last year was such fun hearing how you were doing and seeing your pics. I hope and pray that you will see abundant blessings and answers to prayers this year. Keep us posted when you can.

Well, It is hard to believe a whole year has gone by since my our last trip to Trinidad. I am getting so excited and can't wait to meet up with all the friends I made. I want to be ready - please pray for me I would be used of God in a significant way. By myself, I feel like there is little I can contribute, but "with God, all things are possible" Pray that we would see His wonderful works and that we might enter into those works that He has prepared beforehand as He promises in Ephesians 2:10. I am so looking forward to making many new friends this year. Praise the Lord for this opportunity to serve him. May he be glorified in all that we do. Mark Rusnak
