Support Needed for Mission Trip to Jordan
Request
from Pastor Marc Schwichtenberg, Saint Paul Lutheran Church &
School, Mount Prospect
A member of our congregation will be participating in a
mission trip to Jordan this summer. His name is Paul Berauer. Paul
will be working through Crescent Project. (www.crescentproject.org
) This is an organization founded for the purpose of helping
Christians reach out to their Muslim neighbors around their own
communities and around the world. As part of this, Paul will be
traveling to the nation of Jordan from June 14 - June 29th, after a
week of intensive training on
evangelism
to Muslims. This trip will focus on approaching Muslims where they
are, from coffee shops to college campuses and restaurants. We ask
that you pray for Paul and the other 9 members of his team; that
they act as tools of God to reach out to Muslims and show them his
love. Team members are responsible for raising the cost of the trip,
which is approximately $4,000.00.

Missionary Family Sets Sights on Kenya
Request from Trent Davis, Trinity
Lutheran Church in Bloomington Illinois
Greetings!
Recently, our family received word of an invitation from Kids Alive to serve in Kenya as partners in their ministry. This trip will take place in November 2007 and last for four weeks. We have eagerly accepted this challenge and wanted to share in this experience with you. If you are unfamiliar with Kids Alive it is a Christian organization that rescues orphans from the streets of third world countries. They house, feed, educate, and prepare them to be productive Christian members of society. I would encourage you to check out their website at www.kidsalive.org
This
opportunity to serve in Kenya comes after a six-month examination process by
Kids Alive to determine if we are qualified to serve as long-term
missionaries. Kids Alive has asked us to join their organization on a
long-term basis, but they first want us to "test the waters" as a family for
an extended period. This four-week stint in November is the "test."
The volunteer positions are "self-funded" which means that we must raise our
own financial support. Our total financial need for the November trip is $
8,454, with the biggest portion coming from airfare. This is a big number,
but we believe our God is bigger than that hurdle. Any support would be
appreciated. We would love the opportunity to partner with you in this
endeavor.
