Mission trip update

The team arrived safely to Phoenix at 8:30 AM Phoenix time after a 2 hour flight from Memphis.

The person who picked us up at the airport easily found us at the baggage pick-up. His name''s Nate and is a part of our mission team. He will be with us throughout the trip along with Susan
Bennett from the Freedom Gate church. He's a pleasant surprise-very nice and has a large heart
for the Apache Indians.

On Saturday we and a team from Freedom Gate did a children's carnival outreach at the
Swap meet in the town of San Carlos. Although it was very humid, over 300 Apache children
attended the carnival. We saw lots of happy smiles on these Apache children when they won
prizes from the carnival games. Each team member had a game booth so we got to interact
one on one with many of these children.

Today the team attended church at the Church of Calvary on the reservation.

Tonight is the start of 4 nights of vacation bible school.

PLEASE PRAY THAT MANY OF THE 300 CHILDREN FROM THE CARNIVAL OUTREACH
IN SAN CARLOS WILL COME TO VBS.

According to Susan at Freedom Gate Church, this was the largest carnival outreach they have
yet to have on an Indian reservation.

All the team members and members of Freedom Gate church enjoyed interacting with the
Apache children and their parents.

We have more to follow and lots of photographs from this outreach.

Jesus loves the little children. Last nights devotional was from Luke 18:16 how Jesus was
admonished for playing with the children by the elders. Jesus told the elders that they must
be like children to enter the gates of heaven.

Jesus loves these Indian children.
