Mission in South Africa
Mission Trip, August 1-11, 2008

Follow the thirteen members of our South Africa team in words and pictures on their daily blog at our website, as they traveled half a world away (in more ways than one) to Molelwane village.

Their journey began months ago with planning and preparing … but their actual travel took place August 1 – 11.  They arrived home safely on August 11th.

While they are there, they will…

• Dedicate the church building that La Casa funded
• Dedicate the well that provides their own water supply, made possible by the money raised by our High School Sunday School class
• Share supplies of hats, gloves, mittens, and mufflers collected by our MOPS moms and Women’s Breakaway Weekend participants
• Share school supplies from our preschool
• Outfit 40 children with school uniforms, also with money received from La Casa members (in South Africa, you can’t go to school unless you have a uniform)

As you can see from the list above, our whole church community is involved, even those who are staying home! Please continue your involvement by keeping those traveling in your prayers: Ron Meister, Grace Gardner, Pastor Andrew Garman, Diane Garman, Melody Gartrell-Sherman, Laurie Gerlach, Mandy Meister, Noel Olmut, Carol Mathews, Debbie Sanneman, Lindsay Sanneman, Mackenzie Smith, and Leah Swanson; as well as the villagers to whom they will be ministering.
