July 27-August 6 Our missions trip to the Dominican Republic starts Saturday. The team will head to Austin airport early and their flight leaves at 11 am. They will fly to Ft. Lauderdale and have a 7 hour layover. At 11 pm Eastern, they will fly to Santo Domingo and then have a 4-1/2 hour bus trip to their final destination in Ocoa.

Please keep them in your prayers DAILY. They need prayers for safety, for reception to the gospel by the people to which they will be spreading God's word, for unity of our group, for overcoming language barriers and for good health for all participants.  The trip home will begin at 6 am and they will arrive in Austin at 7 pm.

Because of extremely high international calling rates, please do not call or text any of the team members unless it is an emergency. Most will have their phones turned off after leaving the States until they return.

This years VBS was a wonderful success and a good time was had by all. We averaged 50 people every night and collected almost 400 dollars to donate to the victims of the explosion in West, Tx. The children had a wonderful time learning about Daniel and Babylon, making crafts and singing praises to our one true God. We tried something new this year having a family VBS and I think it was a big success. Many of the adults spoke of how much they loved the opportunity to stay and learn. I would like to thank all of the participants for helping everything run so smoothly and to Nelda for everything that she did, which was ALOT, because without all of you it wouldn't be possible. Looking forward to next year!

God bless,
Michelle
