Have you offered to lead a presentation at a local church? My promotional power point from the January 2014 trip is now shared with you and easy to download. Find it at: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1v-jNgCgdEDQIF4Ox28UQKcqs7_a6UJYwvVReUIP_Fxk/edit?usp=sharing        

The more churches we have on board supporting us with prayer, finances, helpers, and missionaries ... the better! Also, please share this promotional presentation with church who have helped us in the past. Let's follow up with our thanks!
