I've always hated selling stuff.  I cringed when we had school fund raisers.  Well over the last few months I've been "hawking" Becky's book, (Because I love her and believe in her.) and now I'm asking for donations for our Guatemala trip.  Sometimes it seems that God puts us right in the situations we're least comfortable with.  Really, it's God that provides all our needs.  He may use one person or 300 or some other avenue entirely.  Becky once said that maybe God will let us win the Lottery!  I said," But honey, we don't buy lottery tickets.  You have to buy a ticket."  My wife of great faith said," If God wants you to win the lottery, a winning ticket will blow up off the sidewalk into your hand!"  Oh me of little faith.  Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV  "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;  (6)  in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."  I pray the King of Kings blesses you today.  Remember that He loves you and all He wants is for you to Love Him and Trust Him.

Since the 1st "Guatemala Alert" a few days ago, 11 of you have generously donated $490.00 toward medicines, equipment, and other expenses.  Praise God and Thank You!

We have a budget of about $4900.00 for the medical team:

Medicine, Supplies, Equipment - about $2500.00
Travel, Lodging, Food                   about $2400.00
We have so far received in donations - $1430.00

So we still need to raise about $3210.00 preferably before the 8th of August?!

Over 300 people get this e-mail.  If each of you gave $10 we'd be all set!

Please take a moment to pray about whether God is calling you to help.  If, ( AND ONLY IF! ) He is, you can either send a check or hit the paypal button below and use a credit or debit card.  Even $5 would help. 

Most importantly please pray that we would show the love of Jesus to these desperately poor people.

Anyone who would like to donate money for our Guatemala missions trip please send your check payable to Lighthouse Wesleyan Church and write Guatemala in the message line.  Send to : Lighthouse Wesleyan Church
