LARGEST TEAM EVER!
We just had our largest team ever this past week. They were from the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin and we had a wonderful time with them. What a great group of kids and their leaders rocked!
This week we are hosting a group run by Amber Russellburg, who is the team coordinator for MVI in Orlando. This is a real mixed group of people who mostly didn't know each other when they arrived....already, our house is a noisy, laughter-filled place. Come on down and try a short term mission trip yourself. Contact us at oakining@hotmail.com or contact Amber at MVI, PO Box 593550, Orlando, Fl 32859-3550 for details.

Another Building Miracle
This Olanchito family was left homeless after the husband/father was killed in an auto accident along with the eldest son. The father was a pastor who was riding over for a service where we were giving away some motorcycles for Christian Motorcycle Association. The family lived in the church house and had to move out after the deaths occurred. A local pastor donated the land and Scott rounded up several blessed amigos who were willing to perform a labor of love to help this family receive a new home. The pilings went in a couple of weeks ago and the house will be built by Anne-Marie Vosburgh's summer team in July. We want to say a special thank-you to Robbie Tipton, Gary Williams, Mario, Matute, and Will for their help. We couldn't have done it without you guys.
Also shown are photos of the mother with some of the children. Pray for this family as they go through grieving the loss of their loved ones and moving forward in the Lord.
