2nd Meeting for X-Change Trip!

Becky DeBerry (X-Change Leader) and Rick Lee (Missions Director) will be hosting our 2nd X-Change Leadership meeting this Sunday during the 9:15a.m. service. Here are some details:

When: 9:15a - Sunday, 28 Feb

Where: Journey Church; ask Becky which meeting room

Why: Confirm Deposit monies, Confirm Passports, Confirm Vaccinations, Question and Answer Period.

Doug Lane (Guatemala Team Leader) spoke to Robert on Monday. Robert and Tharsis are headed to Haiti for 2 weeks - but can't wait to get back to Guatemala to begin preparations for our team. With the last count of 30 X-change Group Leaders going on the trip...this will obviously be a LARGE group to travel with. You know what they say...."safety in numbers!"

We are really looking forward to blessing the people in the villages of El Chilar, Puente Blanco, and Pie de la Ques ta. We are sure they will want to show us their version of X-Change Leadership as well!

Haiti Relief Update

A huge thank you to everyone who has given to the relief effort in Haiti. We have currently collected $3,211 to send to the relief effort in Haiti.

If you wish to give simply indicate on the memo line of your check or on your giving envelope that the gift is for "Haiti". It is also possible to give on-line at www.thejourneyfamily.com. There is an option to designate your gift for the Haiti Relief Fund. The Journey plans to continue sending resources through established organizations who work with local churches in Haiti. The process of rebuilding and recovery will be a long-term, on-going endeavor and we want to continue giving to the effort. If you have questions please contact Rick Lee, Missions Pastor at rick@thejourneyfamily.com.
