This is just a quickie to ask you to pray for an upcoming trip Nikki and I have. In late August we are scheduled to fly to Uruguay for a survey trip to see about opening that field for our missionaries. We currently have no missionaries living and serving there from our mission agency. But we have contacts of ones who would like to possibly serve there if we open the field. We also have nationals from Brazil that are interested in going there to serve as missionaries if we open the field. So we need to travel there for 3 or 4 days to meet with several contacts there and study the viability for opening that field.
From there we travel directly to travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina to teach a course on evangelism and discipleship (entitled, Good Soil Training Seminar) to a group of national pastors and lay leaders. We will be there approximately 3 or 4 days. While there we will also seek to be an encouragement to our missionary colleagues serving there and national leaders.
From there we travel directly to Ecuador where we will be for one week seeking to help our missionary team in the area of team building and strategy development. Of course Nikki will be ministering the entire 3 country trip to the ladies on each of these fields.
The only snag we have run into is the cost of Nikkis airfare. I really need her with me on this trip but unless we can raise the money for her airfare, she will not be able to travel. Her airfare cost for traveling to Uruguay, Argentina, and Ecuador is $2260. We had one church that has already given $300 to help with this trip so we still only lack $1960 to be able to purchase Nikkis airline ticket. We need to purchase her ticket as soon as possible so if you can help, please let us know right away. Your gift is tax deductible. If you would like to help, you can email us or can go to this link: http://www.abwe.org/give/online You can give online and may use a credit card if you prefer. Please pray that we are able to raise these funds so that Nikki can travel with me for this missions ministry trip.
