Volunteers Working Together

Summer 2013 is in full swing, and multiple events in every corner of our country are planned to reach the millions who have never heard or accepted HIStory!

Two volunteers from TN are here for 5 weeks to help with C2C Holiday English Camps, Vacation B Schools, Southern Cross BOOK distribution, pryer walking, etc.
They are also making individual contacts and setting up appointments
to chat over meals, coffee, day trips, etc.

Three volunteers from WV came to help us for one week with our annual C2C Holiday English Camp at WanLi Elementary School.  It's the 5th year our WV family has sent volunteers for this camp.
And, every year, the door swings wider and wider to share HIStory with the teachers, students, and parents in this area.

During C2C Holiday English Camps, we use 5 American Holidays to share HIS complete story:  Thanksgiving (Creation/Fall), Mother's Day/Father's Day (Commandments/Sacrifice system), Christmas (HIS birth), Easter (HIS death and resurrection), and Valentine's (HIS teachings--the prodigal son).

The students are all given a B story coloring book, a dvd of HIS life, a booklet explaining how to know HIM personally, and their own copy of the BOOK.

So many students...so many schools....so many still to hear.  The harvest is plentiful.  Would you come and labor in this field?

Spring in the Big Country

Feels like home to us.....

Recently, we had the opportunity to spend 10 days in the Big Country.  We were very happy that our trip coincided with some of our long-term partners' trip.  Esther was on the team of 5 from WV, so we got to visit with her for a few days while other members of the trip took in some of the local sites.

Most of the WV team's trip took place in the SW area
of the Big Country.

They spent a lot of time working with local children and teachers, hosting English events.

But, father and sons together also got many opportunities
to share HIStory.

After, Jack and I sent the WV team and Esther back to the USA,
we headed to the Northeast part of the Big Country
(near our old stomping grounds).

And spent the rest of the week hanging out with old friends, 

sharing meals, and doing some training in the rural areas.  

ONE SPECIAL NOTE:  Some of you remember hearing stories of our first local partner when we moved to East Asia, Winter Flower....the one who helped us do EVERYTHING when we knew no language, no culture, no people, nothing....well, she's getting married soon, and we were able to spend two days with her and her new husband-to-be!!  It was great to hear about their continued faithfulness to HIM and to share laughter, tears, and memories together!!!!!!
