Saturday was a great finish to the retreat. God really impressed on my heart to utilize Susan and her husband, Russell, in the final hour to share some things to minister to the women regarding marriage issues.
The choir girls did their final song A Cappella and it was heavenly!!! Also, the ladies were totally overwhelmed by the last gift they received because so many of you had taken the time to be a part of it! You will never know how much their hearts were touched!!
We left Costa Rica on Sunday afternoon. Because our team members came from churches in Oklahoma, Arizona, Texas, and AR we all had to separate and head different directions in Houston after passing through customs. The team was so absolutely incredible and specifically what God wanted for this group of women. Oh, the sweet stories we could share with you. Again, thanks to each one of you who were a big part of the team through your giving and gifts!
In the next few days I am going to ask a couple of the team members to share what being on the trip meant to them. Be watching the blog!
Also, I want to encourage you to keep those prayer hats on because Lima, Peru is on the horizon. Our team is already together. It will be made up of women from North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Jonesboro, Ft. Smith, and Morrilton Arkansas. Registration for that retreat will open up in a couple of weeks. Please begin now to pray about how you can be involved in this trip. There are many ways the ladies in your home church can be involved without leaving the country!
Also, begin now to pray about donating to this trip to sponsor a missionary woman to attend. Every little bit helps because it all adds up towards sponsoring a missionary! Again, it costs $500 to sponsor one missionary to attend the conference for 4 days and 3 nights free of charge with all meals and materials taken care of! We believe that we will have 50 women sign up for the conference. Pray, Pray, Pray that God will have just who He wants to be there. Our theme for the retreat is “Take the Mask Off”.
Hope each one of you is having an incredible summer in the LORD!!
His,
Vickie
