Here We Go

February 3-12, 2010, Sal and Elena will lead a team to serve at Quiet Corner in India once again. Since our last visit there, we have longed for a time we could return. The Lord has given an open door and four others will travel with us to the jungles of southern India. It is there that our dear friends, Thomas and Marykutty Samuel, have served the Lord faithfully for the past 35 years. And now their son, Paul, is assuming more and more of the responsibilities at the compound.

The team is made up of some really gifted and talented people.

• Peter is a master woodworker and hopes to assist with the building project, Mercy Corner.
• His wife, Renee, was with us last time. She has a wonderful passion for the ladies and children. Her heart is open to them and she shows the love of Jesus in wonderful ways.
• Bev is a retired nurse and will be valuable to educate village people about hygiene and health. She will be a blessing to Joyce who runs the medical outreach and is the only source of medical care in the area.
• Bev' s husband, Tom, is an elder at our church and a gifted bible teacher.
• Sal will once again be able to teach and encourage the local pastors.
• Elena looks forward to speaking to the village women and sharing the gospel with the young girls at the sewing school.

There is so much more that we will experience while with these precious people. But we will be the ones who are most blessed and encouraged. Each of us is certain we have been called to go to Quiet Corner. We all would appreciate and covet your prayer for us as we prepare for the trip. Pray especially for our families to be healthy and protected in the months to come.

One of the most difficult things for us is to ask for financial help. It is much easier to give then to receive. There is a humbling that comes with asking for financial support that stirs the prideful heart. The last trip was blessed because of the generous giving from our church family, our friends and loved ones. The giving was over the top and not only paid for our travel expenses, but we were able to buy sewing machines for each girl at the school, buy a new jeep for the Bible Mobilization Program, purchase bibles to be given to village people and feed many children in the feeding program.

So we humbly ask for your financial support. If you feel led to give, you can send a tax deductible donation made out to Lake Country Bible Church to:

Lake Country Bible Church

Please write Mission India 2010 on the lower left side of the mailing envelope. We sure appreciate your prayers and support.
