Contributors

It continues to amaze me how people are contributing to Bolivia 2007. My eyes have been opened to the blessings of giving. As I see God work in so many creative ways it makes the "asking" even easier. Thank all of you!! More supplies and donations arrived today. Here are some of the dearest (to me) contributions.... the comments from the faithful. As we get closer to departure the encouragement is truly a blessing.

...'Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go ' ( Jashua 1:9 ).

Brian do now best what you can and God will do what you can't. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Everything will be O.K. with you, Alicia and Tyler.

You’re getting good at this, Brian. Have you thought about staring your own TV program? [smile]

The heart is happiest when it beats for others. " Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap''. ( Luke 6:38)...

I know the Lord will use Alicia, Tyler, you, and the rest of the team to bring hope, healing, and love to the Bolivian people in the Name of Jesus! The Lord will also bring much growth to you all as you serve Him in this way. I will be keeping you all in prayer. Praise the Lord!!

We are praying, praying, praying!!

Brian, Encourage:" Do you realize that you're a mountain climber? Each day GOD equips you with all you need to scale the heights of every mountain in your life.With every small slope of circumstance or prodigious challenge you conquer, you build Faith muscles, strengthening
you for the next climb! There may be moments when mist or fog blocks the glorious view of victory- and at times you may wonder if you can keep climbing- but God is on every rocky ledge, reaching out to guide you to greater heights of Faith".

Brian, what a great trip. I would love to help.

Alicia, Wanting you to (know) that I am thinking of you and Tyler, and am excited for all you will experience on your trip to Bolivia. Let your light shine! God Bless you greatly...

These are just a sample of the comments we've received. I even appreciate the humor from my sister. But I don't plan any TV shows.

Brian, if you do decide on a TV show you will have to do some cooking! Smile! You can make a nice presentation of cow head soup...

Brian, you're involvement is a huge blessing to our entire team. Your post reminds me of those lyrics I've quoted many times before from the rock band Tesla:

"It's not what you've got
It's what you give,
It's not the life you choose
It's the life you live".

Looking forward to touching Bolivian soil with you.
