Support Mission:UK

Mission UK is quickly approaching, July 20-30 -- it's quickly approaching because i have to set our reservations in the next month and i've not yet raised all my funds!!! i'm not doubting i will be able to go, i would just like to ask again for your help.

i of course need prayer for our group - we need prayer for preparation spiritually, relationally, politically, and financially. pray for our spiritual preparation as we get ready to learn about the challenges of ministering in western Europe--the lessons learned here will help us in preparing a strong missional partnership with our UK brothers and sisters, while also encouraging our own witness here in the states. pray for our relational preparation that we can overcome any cultural, linguistic, or preference barriers that the enemy may use to discourage us or our hosts. pray for policital preparation that those still awaiting passports to clear may see that quickly issued. pray for our financial preparation as we raise our funds, secure the best airfare and other expenses that we'll be facing.

to support financially, please send a check payable to "6th Avenue Church of God" to 716-6th Avenue S.E., Decatur, AL 35601. indicate "Mission/pastor" on the Memo line of your check. we will send you a receipt for your contribution that you can use in the preparation of your tax returns next year.

to add some motivation for your support, i will send you a gift based on certain donations. look at the list below and see how you may want to contribute. supplies are limited, so please act quickly...
