Hi Marge, Chris, Laura, and Jason and all team members! Glad to hear you all arrived safely and with ALL luggage! Pastor Jost stopped the service yesterday for prayer at noon, a wonderful reminder of what you are doing there. First camp under belt? Hope the weather cooperated - is it as hot there as here? 85 degrees? Humid? Rainy? Hope not. Love those children! God bless your mission!

Dear Emily, The UEFA game yesterday may be old news to you now, but Spain won in PK's against Italy. I am sitting here with Max and he is wondering where you are today and what you will be doing. I told him, but you know what his attention span is.... We love you and sent lots of prayers to you and the teams.

Hello travel team members!!! How wonderful that you are in Bosnia and getting started on two AMAZING weeks! I totally wish I was there with you...but I'm in L.A. with a bunch of high school kids. That's good too though. I'm looking forward to following all that you are doing and experiencing. I pray that God is with you throughout your entire journey and that it is as transformational for you as it is for the kids with whom you work. Take care. Shannyn

I read Monday's lesson already, I know that you will give each child, God's Justice through your activities with them. As Jesus said, we have to become as innocent as the children in our trustfulness in Him, so trust and believe you will make a difference in each person's life through your creativity and generosity of Spirit. Have a great day, and hug one another, and the children. The Stuart Family!

Hey Lauren, I am happy to hear you all made it safely to Serejavo, even with your luggage (that's great). British Airlines did well. The congregation of Hope is well notified that you, Kate, Chelsey and Tara have begun your good work of spreading God's love to all you meet at the camps on your journey. You were mentioned at various parts of today's service and in today's bulletin calendar we are reminded to pray at noon-time everyday while you are having your evening prayers. Stay healthy and safe.

Hi Everyone! Glad to hear that the luggage arrived in London...Hope it got to Bosnia, too. My dear Emily, We had a really great service today...sending for Linda McDonnel...and lots of prayers for everyone in Bosnia. Max is such a puppy. He ate a leather mouse at the Ogdens and regurgitated it at 5:45am this morning. Yukky. He seems fine, but misses you. Lots of love. God's Blessings to you all. Be well.

Dear Mike and Amanda, I've been thinking and praying about you both and am glad to hear that you made the first leg of your journey safely. We'll also pray for you today at St. James. Hope you are both well. Dad went to see Chris play yesterday at Lasalle and said he did very well. I was busy with a clean-out day at church. Love you both! Have fun! Love, Mom/Grammy

Glad to hear that you made it to London. Tell the Queen "How Dooooo You Do?" for me. It is currently 7:15 AM in New Jersey (much lighter than 3:15 AM!), but we will stop worship at noon to pray for all of you. I still haven't gotten an offer to be the new manager of the Mets, so I guess I'll go to church today. Happy belated birthday, Ben! You all keep well and remind the children of Bosnia that they are loved - don't just say the words - live the reality. Be the agents of peace and reconciliatio

Hi Mom and Christian. I hope you both made it through Munich and Düsseldorf safely and the German phrases I taught Christian before you left were helpful. I miss you both. Everything is fine here. I am so glad I didn't work at Dairy Queen last night because a group of 90 kids from the Bible Conference came to get ice cream- what a hectic that night must have been for the girls working. I love you both! Have an amazing time! Take tons of pictures! Can't wait until you come home so I can hear all about it.

Hi Amanda, Michael and everyone, Glad to hear you and luggage made it to London. Chris played four games today and did much better. (32 point against a 6'10" kid and West won). I started my projects. Gene is doing well. Everyone is asking about you. Ed - Chris wants to drive the car. Hope it is OK that I let him take it into Philly. Love you all. Beth/Mom

Seems we have been here before. Has it been four years (or five) since our son, C.J., went on his first trip to Bosnia? Now, he's going for the second time and our love and prayers go with not only him, but all team members. May our God bless you and keep you safe. May He use you as his instruments of peace. Hugs to each and everyone!

Hey there! I hope you are having a wonderful, restful time preparing for Saturday! All of you are about to undertake "Your Defining Moment"! (I believe this is from Michael W. Smith's Healing Rain CD)! It's really uplifting to know that we are all sharing this journey with you through prayers. It gives us the opportunity to educate ourselves of the places and cultures that you are encountering. I know this is the second to third trips but we always meet new people whom touch our hearts. God Bless!

To all the team members, Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the experience, give the children a hug like God hugs you, and remember to just do your best. I will miss my girls and Tara(take a break this week so you are rested). Please give Keko a huge hug and of course a kiss from me, my shopping partner! Rebecca graduates MAST on Tues. We have missed working this year with everyone but you know we have thought of you often and prayed for a wonderful trip. Tell Larry HI!!!! God bless, Phyllis

Hi, Pastor Mike, Amanda, Nancy and Leatha, Keep smiling and laughing, it keeps the soul joyful! This trip is going to be filled with so many opportunities to bring to life the prayer of St. Francis. Which is also based on the Sermon of the Mount. Each of you have such courage and fortitude. Have much fun, as you bring peace to the children and each other as well. Give each other a hug daily for me. You are in our hearts. Peace and Joy, Deb Stuart

I want to say that I am proud of every single one of you. Even if youve done it before, it takes a love and commitment to this ministry to get back on the plane and go again. Im hoping to send as many of you off at Synod Assembly this Saturday, and am definetly helping you all out at the packing party. Thank you all for continuing to do God's work. Ill be praying for each and every one of you! P.U.L. (Peace, Understanding, Love)
