CELEBRATING TEAM BORACAY


Sunday was a time of sharing and celebrating what God did through our Team Boracay crew. It was awesome to see how He moved in ministry and in the lives of our teammates!

Our first night was a great start, and yet we are going to need some help with our next time. Let us know if you would be willing to do any of the following:

1) Transportation- pick up/drop off student(s)

2) Food coordinator.

3) Be a Table Talk person - conversation leader(Question asker!!!)

4) Help Setup/Clean up

5) Could you lead/play an Americana folk song? (ex: Yankee Doodle Dandy, others) Maybe give a little history with it and teach it to our group.

HOST JAPANESE STUDENTS THIS FALL

We have a golden opportunity to share the love of Christ with the Japanese in our own homes!

Compass USA has been bringing students from the Osaka, Japan area for the last 7 years.  This year 110 middle school students are visiting America through this particular program.  Their stay in the Long Beach area is from 10/31 - 11/4. The students arrive early afternoon on Thursday, go to Disneyland on Friday, spend the weekend with their host family and then depart on Monday morning.

Last year some of our church family hosted students:
"We really enjoyed hosting two girls last fall.  Nanako and Tomoyo were sweet and appreciated our time together. They were eager to try all kinds of food and to go to the mall and the beach.  It was hard to say goodbye at the end of the weekend.  We loved hosting these two girls and are signed up for this Fall!" - Shelly Deaton

Again, it's a short stay, but a great investment.  It provides a great opportunity to engage with the other side of the world in our own home as well as a simple opportunity to love them with Christ's love.  In exchange, your family has the opportunity to get a scholarship for your children to travel to another country:  Japan, France or Spain.  You can see the details here at http://aili.us .

In any case, I'd love to partner with you in the gospel. Please call me 562.879.0191 or email lachica.pipeline@gmail.com if you have any questions about hosting.
In Christ,
Amy Lachica
