Thanks for the Great Support!


HOPE TO SEE YOU!
Please pray for the success of this sale!

Did you know that rummage sales can be an expression of the Body of Christ? Well ours was! We had people giving us items to sell with great determination to raise money for Mission:Kenya. I am always amazed at how much "stuff" comes through the doors and ends up on our display tables, ... under the tables, ... against the walls, ... hanging from a cable suspended between the volleyball poles.

But suppport of our Family of believers was also experienced in the getting items from the original bags and boxes onto the display tables. I so deeply appreciate those many hands that made the work lighter.
I was very proud of the organization and presentation of our "marketing department". It was simply gorgeous.

And then there was the deluge of buyers on Saturday morning. Mission:Kenyan teammates had to enter a secret door in order to get in without being stampeeded. Outfitted in our bright orange team shirts we greeted folks; made up prices; took their money; assisted people in getting their purchases to their cars; cleaned up afterwards!

All in all I think Jesus was proud of His Family serving Him through serving others.

Many thanks to all of you who helped pray and play a strategic part in a successful sale. Praise the Lord for the generous outpouring of love and financial gifts.
