Hello Friends                                                  1-3-09

 

            Well time is moving on. It is only 38 days till we part from
this great country. Many are waiting for Berkshire Mission to arrive. I
would hope and pray that each one of us will be praying for Gods will to be
done in Machaquila. 

            Today is the day our Bible Workers start their work in
Machaquila. I hope you all will be praying for our workers.

            We will be packing all of our equipment, medicine, and supplies
on Jan 27th at 5pm. I would like all to attend and help us get all the
things packed, weighed and ready to go. We will have pizza for dinner. 

            One call I received just a couple of days ago from a very good
friend of Berkshire Mission. It was Erica Flynn; she called to me that could
not make this trip because of sickness. She would like to ask each one of us
to pray for her full recovery. She would like to be on the next mission
trip. God Bless you Erica, we will be praying for you.

            I want to thank you all for coming to the meeting. I know that
everyone is busy; we all have things to do and place's to go, so you made
those changes in your schedule. I want to thank you. It takes a lot to put
together a pre trip meeting. Of course some of you live much too far to come
so I sent you a package of the same things we covered at the meeting. One
thing that I forgot to mention was the option of getting a flu shot. Because
of the amount of travel in planes, close to a lot of people you might want
to check with your Doctor.

            Out group is 56 strong and I feel that God is ready to bless
already, preparing the hearts of those we work with and those we touch.

            Last year we had to raise $28,000 which is money I had to raise
over and above the fees each one of us had to pay. That money was paid in
full. This year does not look good, the money for Medicine, Bibles,
Transportation and Supplies is not coming in despite a larger than normal
donation. All I can do is ask for your help. 

            May God continue to Bless each one of you according to His
Riches and Glory 

 

 

                                                Sincerely

 

                                                Bob Young 

                                                Director
