• This week's Mission Box is for Living Water International to fund a well in El Salvador.   A team from Trinity went to El Salvador in January and put in a well in a remote community.  While we were there they shared a need for a second well in that same community because of the distance people had to walk to get clean water.  Most of the people would end up still getting there water from the river because of the distance.  We need to raise $5500 for this well.  A team from Trinity will go down April 24-30 to drill this second well.  
• Did you know that there is a Trinity mission team in Matagalpa, Nicaragua this week?  The team of high school youth and adults will set up and provide medical clinics all week in the mountains of Nicaragua.  This is an awesome trip for our youth to experience firsthand the medical field and impact so many lives in the villages where we host clinics.  Please remember to lift them up in your prayers.
• WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! A community needs your help! April 24-30, Trinity will be taking a team back to El Salvador to drill a well with Living Water.  If you are interested in being a part of this great opportunity please contact Ted. There are limited spots available so act fast.  There are scholarships available so don't let money stop you from taking advantage of God using you in the world.
• The Adult Spring Appalachia Service Project team, leaving April 30 and returning May 7, is going to Greenville, TN to participate in a New Build (building a new house). There are currently 5 open positions on the team if you are interested in building construction for a needy family. Contact: William Buhi
• The Family Promise 2nd Annual Bed Race will be on April 2 at the Santa Fe College track. Show your support for the Trinity team as they compete to be the fastest bed and to raise the most funds of any team.

Support can be given by cash or check at the reception desk (checks payable to Family Promise Gainesville with Trinity Race Team in the memo) or online. The four bed pushers and their passenger Princess Leia (aka Lenora Rousseau), need you to come out on April 2 at 10am to cheer them on.
