The Thailand Team has been confirmed & we had our fist meeting on Sunday 16th Sept. Very exciting!
There are 10 of us - we'll be introduced to the church next week on 23rd Sept.
Team Members are:
Brendon Harkness
Craig Mountfort
Emily Fountain
Fen Moy
Gabby Iseli
Isaac Lovatt
Jennifer Koelet
Mark Turnbull
Sam Johnson-Chung
Zara Brown
The dates are down for 3rd - 17th February 2013.The trip will be to instal a water supply system and sanitation into a village close to where Jonathan, David & Michael had visited last year. A children's programme will also be run, and a basic medical clinic.
We would love our church family to start praying with us as we prepare for the trip. For some of us, it's a first trip overseas! Please pray that the logistical preparations will go smoothly, such as passport applications, health checks, information gathering, and, the big one - fund-raising. Our target amount is $15,000 - this is for the supplies of installing the water & sanitation systems. Each team member will have to fund their flights and personal expenses.
We reflected on what Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well - "whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14. Please pray that God will start working in the hearts of the villagers, so that they will be receptive to the Gospel and be open to receiving Jesus's life-giving water.
