Next weekend Phil and I are attending the AMG annual banquet in New Holland, PA. We are excited to be able to go this year, we have not been able to attend in the past so this is going to be a new experience. Bob Hastings will be speaking, it is always a joy to hear him speak, and we are looking forward to what he has to share with us while we are there. We are also very excited to be able to spend some time with Pat and Traci Ragan while we are there. And many of the other AMG staff that will be there!
After we get home from that trip, we will be getting things ready for our trip to Guatemala in December. We are going on the Bundles of Love Mission Adventure. We are taking Megan with us. She has not yet been to Guatemala and we would like her to see where it is we will be living and not have it be a complete unknown to her. Phil took Abby and Betsy down with him a few years ago. I am so excited to see what will be happening while we are there. I know that we are going to be blessed beyond measure with the people that we will be ministering to. Humbled and amazed at how God works in lives of people all over the world, no matter what their situation, knowing that God is in control of ALL things.
Please pray for safety of everyone in our group that will be going down. The three of us will be flying from Boston and meeting the rest of the group in Atlanta then flying to Guatemala from there. We will be there from Saturday to Saturday, with a lot of work to be done.
Please pray for the health of all of us in the group going, it is not fun being sick in a different country with out the comforts of home. I know this first hand!
Please pray for unity of the group that we would all be focused on what the Lord would have us do. Be aware of what it is the Lord wants us to say, do, share.
Pray for our families that are at home. I know that we will be leaving 5 members of our family with various people, I am not sure about the rest of the people going down with us.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and see what it is that God is doing in our lives! It is an awesome adventure!!
Plans...
For Just a Cup of Coffee per Day you can Help Us!
A cup of coffee... something so many of us buy... I have to admit I do enjoy coffee, and I even splurge and go to Dunkin' Donuts on occasion for mine! Ever added up all that change rattling around in your car and thought "I can go get a cup of Joe today!"
Well, here is our challenge to you! "buy" the Wilsons a cup of coffee per day. Put the change into a special mug or set it aside somehow and then send it in to AMG for our monthly support. We are looking for 30 people to be in our 1% club, supporting us for just $60 per month. Would you prayerfully consider being one of our $60 - 1% partners?
You can follow our progress with the thermometers currently on this blog.
Our hearts are to be serving the Lord in Guatemala. Could you help us to get there by sending in the price of a cup of Joe per day???
travels!
Two posts in one month! Are you all shocked? I hope to be back on track with updating this more often, keeping you better apprised as to what is happening in our lives.
So with that...
We are visiting and speaking at several different churches in our area over the next few months. We have our missions conference at our home church Sept. 25-27. I will be speaking at the Ladies Brunch. Please pray for clarity and what I say will be used for His glory. We have another missions conference the weekend of Oct 17 and 18 at Raymond Baptist Church. We are so excited to share with them what it is that God has called us to do!
In November we are going to New Holland, PA for AMG's annual conference! We are looking forward to that weekend, and what God has in store for us while we are there. I am sure that after we get home, I will update about our time there. So, keep checking!
In December...Phil and I have decided to take Megan on the Bundles of Love trip. She has not been to Guatemala yet and we feel that it would be really good for her to see where we will be living before we pack up our family and head there. Please be in prayer for this trip. We are so excited that we are able to go and be with some of the people God has called us to serve!
