In less than 4 weeks, we are leaving for Thailand!!!
SO much has happened since the last post...we have been incredibly amazed & blessed by how God provides for us & for this trip! In addition to the garage sale, we had several other fundraisers...
A car wash & bake sale, where we raised $1000!
A pancakge & sausage breakfast, where we raised $767!
A soup dinner with a basket auction & silent auction, where we raised $3200!
Sold sausage from donated pigs & raised $1934!
Received a matched funds grant from IDES for $6000 for medicine!
God has richly blessed this trip & because of that, we are able to do much more for the Thai people on this trip. In addition to the medical clinics, we will be doing a construction project at the Christian Training Center where Stephen & Mary Wongratanamajcha live & where Alicia will be living. We were also able to purchase typhoid & H1N1 vaccines to be shipped to Thailand for use in the clinics we put on. We also purchased fluoride treatments to give to the children & others who need them. We will also be having Bible lessons for the children during the clinics everyday.
We will be leaving for Thailand on February 3rd. Everyone, except Alicia, will be returning on February 14th. Alicia will be staying in Thailand until March 5th. She was originally planning to stay full-time after this trip, but plans have since changed. (For more on that, go here: http://www.ajcrabtree.blogspot.com/) She is planning on returning to Thailand full-time later this summer or early fall.
As we prepare in these last few weeks, please be praying with us for the following:
*Our final preparations for the trip & safety while we are traveling
*For Stephen & Mary and the Thai people as they prepare for our arrival & stay
*For safety & reassurance of our famlies while we are gone
*That God would prepare the hearts & minds of the Thai people to receive His love & His word
Keep checking back for more updates as we get closer to leaving & during our trip!
Thank you all for supporting us!
