Ultimate Workout India!

Dear Friends and Family:

We want to share with you a challenging ministry opportunity that God has presented to us. From June 15th – July 3rd, God has offered us the chance to go to India with a youth group from Maranatha – Ultimate Workout. On this 18-day missions trip, we will be reaching out and spreading gospel to the Indian people while also learning more about the people there and their culture. This includes VBS for the children, helping out at the orphanages, painting and construction, and village outreach programs.

While God has opened up a door for use to develop a greater heart of compassion for His people around the world, the exciting part is that you will be able to share in this compassion in several ways. First, you can help pray for us and our fellow students. We will need prayers that God will prepare us for our visit and bless our efforts as we minister to the people of India. We will also need prayers that our financial needs will be met. At this time we have already raised almost $4500, and still need to raise around $4000 to attend this trip – and that is quite a challenge!

Another way you can be involved is to help provide that financial support. Would you consider supporting us with a small donation? We will need to raise all funds by May 15 in order to pay for airline tickets and other items. Please make checks payable to: Mrs J A Caetano (this will come up on your bank statement as Maranatha Mission Fund). Whether you feel led to contribute financially, through prayer, or both, all of your support is appreciated.

We look forward to helping God's work in India, and letting you know about how God has worked through this team when we return in July.

God Bless,

Sara Thompson and Kate-Lynn Caetano
