Thank you!




We would like to say thank you to all of the individuals, groups, and congregations that have supported our trip so far! God has really grown the four of us this semester as we've prepared to leave, and with just a week and a half left until we leave, we're all ready to go!

This semester, we had a few group fundraisers that allowed us to grow closer to each other by completing group tasks, and to allow us to involve other people in our trip by their support.
In February, we had a fundraising spaghetti dinner, which raised almost $800 for our team.


Following the dinner, we helped out with yardwork for members
of local congregations, raising almost another $600.
This is only what our group raised to distribute; the rest of our fundraising was purely out of the generosity of those who donated directly to our individual accounts.
This week, our team is meeting to finalize party preparations for the six parties we will host as a part of LST's curriculum. We're also personalizing each of our lessons and gathering photos and souvenirs to take to our readers. Hope
fully, through these lessons and social events, we can help the people of Cordoba better connect to local churches and to share the love of Christ.

Our team leaves from Memphis International Airport on May 10 at 1:00 pm. Feel free to come pray with us and see us off as we prepare to leave! We can't wait to start reportin
g to you from Argentina about our trip.

Again, we want to express our thanks to everyone who donated to our trip, and we appreciate your prayers and support as we leave for this exciting adventure in a mere 12 days!

-Brandon, Lauren, Terrence, and Tara
