.preperations.


Getting ready to leave has taken a lot of time! Luckily I have had some great help!!! (click on help for pictures) Seriously thanks to everyone who has helped out! I don't know what I would have done with out all of the help.

So far my first letter and a brochure has gone out in mailings. I am at 100% in my start up costs which is amazing! Here is the deal...I need more monthly supporters, right now I have about five committed and I need about 50 more!!!!! If you are interested contact me at a_marbes@hotmail.com or you can click on the link on the right side of this blog!

One of the most cherished parts of getting ready is having people in Mansfield be a part of the process. Mansfield, as many of you know, is like my home. It is such a place of community for me. People there love me and all my quirks. I know if I needed anything they would be there right away. I have invested so much of my time there as well as people have invested in me. It has been so fun working with some of my girls to get ready for Switzerland! Thanks so much everyone!!!!

Also, before I left, my wonderful host family (the Pizzini's), had a going away party. Here are some pictures of that! (click on pictures to see them!)

I will be giving apresentation of my ministry at the end of this week in Grand Island. I will also be interviewed in chruch on Sunday. Next week I will travel to Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Dallas and Mansfield to do the same. I am excited to share my vision with others.

Prayer Requests:

• My Fundraising: I need more monthly supporters!!!! I also need to reach 100% by September 15th!
• YFC Geneva: For unity and community as our team unites!
• The Youth I will be working with: For favor to go with me as well as the Holy Spirit to be at work in their hearts so they will be prepared for the work Christ will do through us missionaries!
