Swazi Update Part 2!

Here is an update on our fundraising for Swazi! :

As many of you know we had a Garage Sale a few weekends back and it went phenomenally! Jesus definitely showed up and showed off! We raised about $1800!? Thank you to all who helped make this possible: Marisa Flores for face painting, donating, and helping with sales - Thanks to the Creightons for all the donations!- Thanks to Courtney Kastner for coming over the night before into the wee hours of the morning helping us to price everything!?- Thanks to Courtney Yarbrough for your donations!- Thanks to Tara Walsh for stopping by and supporting us financially, thanks to Meghan Matt for stopping by and supporting us financially!- Thanks to Kristy Allen for donating items! ( Courtney made me keep the baby books ;) ) - Thanks to Mr. Perry for helping us move some big items & Mrs. Kelley for cooking for us so we didn't have to worry about food! And your tables!- Thanks to JP for coming out to help us!- Emily & Shane for donating items!- And anyone else I forgot I'm sorry, but THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making this a huge success!

After to Garage Sale we were under $1000 shy of our goal!? BUT, since then we have had a few more donations!? Thanks to Brittany Stewart, Ali Seeling, Kristy Robert, and Heather Booth I think we are only $700 away from our goal!? This is amazing, and totally Jesus. We couldn't have done it without you guys!

So, that does leave us with $700 more to raise. If you have been considering donating to our trip to Swazi there is still time, and most of all keep praying!

Prayer Request: TEAM UNITY. Pray that God would protect us as team from any disunity! I was reading in Psalms 2 today, and the Gentile Kings hoped to ruin the Israelites by "breaking their bonds"(v3). I feel one of the easiest ways the enemy could take away our light  is by causing discord. "They will know us by our love." May all we say to others or one another always be in love. May we respect the authority given us by HPC Swazi, and never give a single person room to question us our the Message of The Gospel!

Thanks for all you do!

Love,
The Bonds
