We would like to continue sending reminders to the 3 VanWart children to let them know we have not “forgotten” them and are praying. 

We have a sign-up list at the Hub for anyone who would like to help with sending baked goods to the twins or milk free items to Nate. 

The girls at the two camps were quite popular on the day of delivery! Thank you for your help as we minister to these missionary kids!  

If you are not a baker and would like to help, let Dave Bates know, and we will chat about how we can use Amazon Prime to deliver items to them.

There is another a sign-up sheet at the Hub for folks that would like to receive either of two things. First, if you would like us to forward Missionary Prayer request newsletters received by the missions committee, we can forward them to you in your email. That way you can see all the details and stories shared by missionaries in real time.

Second, there is a column that you can check if you would like to receive the monthly summary of Missionary Prayer Requests in your email. That way you have an easy-to-follow outline of prayer requests from missionaries, updated each month.  Feel free to check either column or both. It will help you pray for specific needs.

Thanks for praying for our missionaries!!
