Mission points

1.We had a terrific time in Stafford, Kansas this past week! Our crew consisted of just over 40 people including children. We participated in several projects that I will be sharing with the congregation in the very near future. All of us who participated were blessed by the brethren there through their hospitality, kind words, and hard work to make the team effort a success. It was so encouraging to watch our members use their individual talents for the glory of God. Thank you to all the members that worked to make our trip successful, thanks to the parents who allowed their teens to go with us, and thank you to our elders for supporting this effort!

2. Our elders recently made the decision to send some financial assistance to 3 different congregations in Monrovia, Liberia. Each congregation is receiving a one-time contribution of $750 to assist them in the construction of their buildings. Our team that travelled to Liberia last year had the opportunity to work with all 3 of these congregations and to witness firsthand their need for assistance. They were the Brewerville, West Point and New Georgia congregations.

2. Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 10th because that is the night that Erik and Jenny Reyes will be here in Fayetteville to report on the work in Sucre, Bolivia. Erik will be doing his presentation on Sunday night during the evening services and then we will have a finger food fellowship following his presentation. This should be a good opportunity to visit with Erik and Jenny to learn more about the work that they are involved in, as well as a time to give them encouragement to continue their efforts for the Kingdom. They will only be in Fayetteville for a couple of days, so you will definitely want to be present Sunday night to talk with them. They will staying at the home of Keith and Ana Caselman.

3. Isaac Daye will also be here on that same Sunday evening to worship with us and to fellowship with us. He will be speaking the following Sunday evening, August 17th and giving us a report on the work in West Africa. He is supposed to be arriving in Fayetteville around August 4 and will be here until around August 18.
