The above pics are of Africa T-shirts we've designed and are selling in the U.S.  There are several dozen already in Atlanta, GA right now that we are selling at $15  a shirt.  If you are interested, send us an e-mail or write us a note on the blog & we will coordinate how to get you one.

BIG NEWS

We just received word today from our church, that they are sending us a sizeable donation towards the Bolivia to East Africa missions trip! 

We now have $28,921 raised towards the trip which gives us enough to finalize the purchase of our airfare (provided we are granted US transit visas to be able to go through the States)! HOOORAY! We praise God for His continued faithfulness!

WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS

Monday a.m., September 29th is the teams visa interview date w/ the U.S. Embassy in La Paz. Again, we are trying to get transit permission to go through the States and onto Kenya - in order to save $500 a ticket per person.  Please pray for the Lord's favor as the team requests permission to touch down on U.S. soil on our way to Kenya!

2 Months And Counting!

Hey all!  Hope you are all doing well.  Just wanted to give another quick update on preparations for the trip to East Africa. The team has been taking English classes from a Canadian couple here in Santa Cruz, & are getting a lot more comfortable w/ the language. We've been meeting at least once a week to pray & seek the Lord. These times have challenged us to experience God's faithfulness together; and have also really helped to grow our faith, our dependency on Him, and increase our sense of expectancy.

After much prayerful consideration, the team has decided we will try to get a U.S. visa to be able to transit through the States, although the visas cost $131 US, require a trip & personal interview at the U.S. embassy in La Paz (a 20 hour bus ride from Sta. Cruz), and are by no means guaranteed.  If we are granted visas it will save us $500 per person, even after having paid the $131. The whole team has their interviews on the 29th of September, so please pray for the Lord's favor for the team. 

Here the team has been putting in a lot of overtime in getting ready and raising funds for the trip:

• Every Sunday after church now we are preparing & selling food after service

• We have set up a Kiosk at the church to sell snacks & school supplies during the week to kids at the Compassion school

• We have printed up new T-shirts to sell, promoting Bolivian missions to bless Africa (if you're interested please let me know, there are some we sent back to the States). 

• We've also held held soccer tournaments, movie nights, sold holiday cards, sold keychains & organized a benefit concert to raise add'l funds.

The good news is we are almost half way there!  The challenging part, that's still a long way off. Please pray for our fundraising & for the interview later this month in La Paz, for the U.S. visa. If you'd like to donate to our trip, please see details below on how to do that or write to us:
