I was worried about being able to take time off of work since I had just started a new job, but as usual, God provided and time off wasn't an issue. I was worried about the finances with the trip, so I prayed for guidance. Last year I raised support money for the trip, but I felt like I should pay for this year on my own. I prayed that I would have no issues affording the trip, and I even prayed that I wouldn't have to try very hard to get the money. 2 days after praying this, I got an email saying that the church in Germany wanted to provide a donation for myself and for James. The money covered half of my plane ticket. Again, God provided. I was a ...

There will be a hurricane relief trip for Hurricane Ike on April 1-5. They will stay in Texas City and work in Galveston, similar to the trip they took to New Orleans last year. I believe this year women can come too, as the housing situation is different. The cost for that trip is likely to be $150-200. The purpose of the trip is, I believe, demolition of houses that were destroyed in the hurricane.A trip is planned this summer for Aurich, Germany, where a team went last year. They will stay in homes and do a baseball camp. It will be July 24-August 2. The cost of the trip will be just a little over transportation costs, including the flight from Dallas and a train ride. I have added a little bit of information about ...
