The Countdown is On!

We have 30 days until our team leaves for Swaziland! So much has happened in these last few weeks and we need to catch folks up. There have been major ups and downs in this process, and somedays, we have been discouraged, wondering what in the world was coming next. It really is neat to be able to look back and see already the steps we needed to take, trusting even when it didn't make sense, to see God's greater plan for us individually and as a team. We can't wait to share more and would love your prayers that some of us can make time for that amidst many other things we have to do in these next four weeks!

Currently, we are focusing on a few last things to gather before going on the trip. We are done with fundraising events for the most part, and are now just getting items to take to the children and workers at Lesibovu. If you'd like to help, here are a few ways:

- Please write simple notes, cards, photos, and draw pictures for us to take to the children. We have 82 to sponsor at Lesibovu, but anywhere from 200 or more could attend while we are visiting in August. We'd love to give them all a little encouragement from America. *The notes should be simple verses, words of greeting and encouragement, and NOT promises of visiting, or things that could only disappoint them.* Deadline to send these in is July 20 to:  
Marlena Cantrell,  317 Grande View Trail,  Maylene, AL 35114

- We are collecting school supplies for the children at Lesibovu. You can bring these items to any team member. We need: 
small boxes of crayons, pencils, & individual pencil sharpeners.

- We are selling shirts that will be a great way to give a useful gift to a Lesibovu community member, and get one for yourself too! One order = $15, so you get a shirt and give one at the same time! Options are below. You can order and pay via PayPal to jchandl3@yahoo.com. 

• The coral and gray both are available in feminine cut, Adult Small to Large. 
• The gray and blue shirts are available in regular cut in all children's and adult sizes. 
• For XXL and XXXL, add $2 to your order. 
• If you need your shirts shipped, add $3 for the first shirt, and $1 for each additional shirt.
• Deadline to order is July 20.
