Thanksgiving

This time of year, my heart and mind travel back to Africa ... 2008. After we finished our 30 day missionary orientation, we arrived in Swaziland just in time for Thanksgiving where we were welcomed into our Swazi Mission Family and our journey in Africa began. We are so grateful for the privilege of serving the Lord in Swaziland, and to see His mighty hand at work in the heart of the Swazi people.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we want to say how extremely thankful we are for each of you and your prayers and support throughout these past two years.

May you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Pampered Chef and Missions!


Good afternoon everyone!!! I'd like to share an exciting way for you to support missions! As some of you may already know, my family and I will be returning to Swaziland, Africa next year (August 8-18, 2011) to lead a short-term volunteer team from Euto Baptist Church. We have already begun fundraising as a team, and as an effort to help raise support for our family to go, I have just begun selling Pampered Chef.

If you, your church, WMU group, bible study group or friends are interested in HOSTING a party or doing a CATALOG party, please let me know. If you would like, I can share about ministry in Swaziland during your party, in addition to sharing Pampered Chef products, food and recipes! All of my consultant proceeds from these parties will go directly to this mission trip, and ministry in Africa. (There will still be rewards and benefits for you as the host/hostess.)

Lastly, we would deeply appreciate your prayers for our family and this mission team as we prepare and plan to serve the Lord and share the love of Christ to the Swazi people.

Have a blessed day!
