Silent Auction Success!

Two weeks ago the Silent Auction was a success, much of that because of former player and Africa '06 coordinator, Jane Wyche, who graciously coordinated and put-on the event for us. Everything from Dodger tickets, to quilts, SeaWorld baskets, and purses were bought. There were so many great items, and almost everything sold.

It was also a sweet time for us current players to connect with past women's soccer players, alumni, Westmont supporters, and parents. Thank you to those who were able to come, spend time with us, and and support our trip.

A HUGE thank you to Jane who is the reason we are able to go on this trip. Jane, thank you for paving the way for us. Your heart for Africa and Westmont soccer is to be admired and we are so grateful for all that you have done for us.

Prayer: How we go.

Our team has been so blessed by the presence and support of Marty Love (Rox's dad) for the past 3 years. Not only has he been a faithful fan, but such a source of wisdom for us all. He challenged me the other day with this:

Now that the trip is here, it’s not what you do, or where you go, but how you go.

Please be praying that we go in humble boldness and with servant's hearts. That in every situation, we will represent Christ.

12 DAYS!!!!

Prayer: Thankfulness

As we approach the final deadline for the money, it's so amazing and encouraging to look back and see the generosity from our family, friends, peers, alumni, and organizations that have gotten us this far. God's providence has been so completely evident and I know we are all blown away by His faithfulness and blessings. We have been blessed.

We keep praying for the means to go on this sports-missions trip and for everyone to be able to go.

Prayer: Silent Auction

Please pray for the Silent Auction being held this Saturday, the 17th. Pray that people will come, items will be bought, donations will come in, and it will be a success. We pray and ask because He answers and gives, all according to His will.

Prayer: Opportunity...and thankfulness

Praise God, thank you Lord! Such an answer to prayer, everyone made the April 5th ($1900) due date! God is so good. Please pray for fundraising opportunities in this next month. Now that the $1900 deadline has passed, the total ($4000) deadline (May 1st) is quickly approaching! Pray that there will be opportunities for us to serve, help, make, and do anything to fundraise the rest of the money. Our God provides and it is SO evident!

Prayer: Thankfulness

With Easter this weekend, we have so much to be grateful for. Join us in thanking Jesus for conquering death, giving us salvation and hope, and for being such an example as to how we are to live here on earth. Let us not worry about details, finances, and paperwork, but rejoice that we believe in a God who is bigger than life and death and everything in between, including our trip to Uganda.

And we are so thankful for you. For your support, prayers, thoughts, and help. We pray God blesses you for your faithfulness to Him and us.

Prayer: Time

With a little more than one month left, please pray we will properly use this time to prepare for our trip. Pray that we will be committed to prayer, seek God, invest in each other, and fundraise with determination. Let us not worry about the little time left, but wholeheartedly commit these next 6 weeks to God.

Prayer: Financial

With less than two months to go, there are still many players who do not have the money to go on this missions trip. Please pray we will be diligent with our time and work towards this goal we have set and this trip that has been laid out before us. Pray against discouragement, as it is easy to come across with thousands of dollars still needed. Let us be joyful in this struggle and put complete faith in God, our provider.
