neat story
i have a friend who is a missionary. 2 months before he left for africa his car broke down. he didnt want to buy one right before he left so he just made due with borrowing and getting rides with people. a few days before he left one of his supporter's grandfather died. the grandmother wanted to donate his lexis. so he got a very well kept lexis as a donation! what?! God is definitely in the business of providing for us!

Wow!
On Sunday, it hit me - I am going to Guatemala! I am going to build houses! I am going to feed children! I am going to build relationships and show God's love! God chose and appointed me to do this incredible thing! It is both humbling and empowering.
Through my friends' and family members' support and giving, I have already seen God's hand at work. I have almost reached my fund raising goal, and others keep telling me they want to support the trip as well. Perhaps the most incredible thing so far has been the change God is making in my Dad's heart. I went on a mission trip to China while I was in college; let's just say my dad was not a fan. . . . When he received my support letter for this trip, he called to say that he knew that I am in God's hands and that he respects my decisions and knows that I live my life to honor God. (Well, I try to, anyway!) That response alone was reason enough for this trip to take place. . . . All that to say that I am amazed and encouraged by the wonderous things God has already done and will continue to do through plain old sinful people that He loves and wants to use to spread His love!

Family Photo/Eternal Directory Fundraiser
Hello everyone out there in e-land.
I am very excited to be a part of Eternal's first mission trip. Coming very soon we are having a huge event to raise funds to build houses in Guatemala. Families and individuals who attend Eternal (you don't have to be a member) will be able to get portraits taken. These portraits will be available for purchase in digital form(CD), and in addition everyone's portraits will be combined to creat Eternal's very first Member Directory. I repeat "you do not have to be a member."
The only requirement is that you believe in what God can do for people through people. And we as regular people can come together to do unimaginable things for other people here in Fort Mill as well as around the world.
The Directory for Eternal will serve as an excellent tool for members and future members to be better served by Eternal and to better serve the commmunity through Eternal. You will be able to include some info about you and your family, and there will be pages devoted to introducing the leadership here at Eternal.
Please come and sign up to be included (no cost for the pictures) this sunday. Picture days are May 19, 20, 26, and 27. Those are Saturdays and Sundays.
And remember to pray for the team starting today until we safely return. We will need those prayers. We have a great mission before us.
God Bless, Have a Great Day,
Kim

Children
If you are a supporter who doesn't attend Eternal, I'd like to share the blessing we witnessed yesterday. Eternal's kids have collected money throughout the entire month of April to help support our mission to Guatemala. They called this the "Month of Change". Some kids emptied their piggy banks, others set up lemonade stands to raise money (see pictures below). Our kids found some creative ways to help raise money!
Yesterday during our Sunday morning service, the children came forward and put the change they had collected all together in a big bucket. I'm encouraged to see our kids learning how to give at such a young age. It's an encouragement to us that they are participating in this mission trip with us!
We can't wait to see how much they've raised. This week, the Levetts will be counting and rolling the change for us. Jack & Holly are really excited to help. Thank you to all the kids who contributed and to Jack & Holly for helping count the money. Thank you parents for encouraging your children to participate and give selflessly. What a blessing!

Pictures from last year's trip to Guatemala
Check out these pictures Marsha Pruitt took from her mission trip to Guatemala with Pray America last year. These are the same type of homes we will be building this year. We now have enough funds to build seven homes. Thanks to all who have contributed. We are so excited!
