Update April 6, 2008

Charles Mbugua's wife Grace has been offered a scholarship to do graduate work at Biola University in California this summer. In order to make the trip, she must be able to give a guarantee that she will return once she gets there. This is called an "affidavit of support" and it needs to give the assurance of $3,000 available to provide round-trip transportation. With the economy of Kenya in very bad condition, the Mbugua family does not have the funds nor do they anticipate earning that amount of money in the allotted time. Please pray for them that God will provide a guarantor of Grace's travel funding.

Rachel's Update

Our Relay for Life fundraiser is going to be on Sunday night, April 20th. We'll be doing beans, cornbread and brownies. We need at least 10 crockpots of your bestest beans and lots and lots of cornbread. If you want to make a batch of brownies, please cut them into approx. 2" x 2" squares and individually wrap them. We will need some pickles, peppers and sliced onions as well. Volunteers to help with kitchen duty and clean-up would also be greatly appreciated.


I'll have a sign-up sheet for you on Sunday morning. Or, you can email me at spookyrach@gmail.com and let me know what you can do.

Thanks in advance for all your assistance! I'm always amazed by how well everyone pitches in when we do this and how smoothly it goes.
