Carey and I are so thankful that his Costa Rica trip will be paid for within the next month! God has blessed us far beyond what we deserve. However, there are quite a few trip members who still need significant financial help.
Our first church fundraiser for the trip is a Garage Sale on Friday, April 19 and Saturday, April 20. There will be TONS of items! Come check them out, all the while knowing that the profits go directly towards the trip. (Church address: 526 Hercules Lane, Denton)
The price of the trip is approximately $1,200 per person. While that may not seem like much (especially for a mission trip), it is a lot when you don't have it! And it's a lot when your family, like a lot of our trip participants, is already stretched as much as possible when it comes to finances. These are hardworking, loving, godly people who have the heart to serve. Shouldn't we do all we can to help them?
We are going to help the rest of the team as much as we can. Will you join our efforts? Will you consider giving money or attending the garage sale? Imagine what it's like to have the confidence that you need to go, but you don't have the finances. And then imagine how you would feel if someone paid that debt for you! It would be a direct representation of how Christ paid the debt for our sins. If we can't share that love with fellow believers, then we certainly won't be able to share it with non-believers.
