8 days away: Keeping your family friends and others updated while you are gone

Matthew 6:25-34 (New International Version)
Do Not Worry
²⁵"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life^[a]?

 ²⁸"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Keeping peeps up to date
We will be updating http://khchaititeams.blogspot.com and also my flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucastheexperience/sets/72157622569340017/ while we are gone.  We will be e-mailing this info to your prayer partners, but feel free to forward it along to anyone else.  I'd also love it if anyone else feels like they want to write a blog entry or 10 to let me know.  Otherwise, I will just be updating with pictures and a summary of the day.

Final normal team meeting tonight!  Packing meeting on Tuesday!  Just a reminder that you will be packing most of your stuff in your carry-on...  Packing list at: http://docs.google.com/ViewDoc?docid=dt72834_28kt4jf5dj


RICHARD is a sweet and energetic boy. Both Richard and his brother, Willie, are extremely helpful, always looking to assist others. Richard's passion is worship and his high, loud singing voice can be heard above all the other boys during our praise and worship times. He loves to worship, sing praises and listen to Bible stories. He also enjoys playing soccer and doing work projects around the home. He will often follow an adult around waiting for a new "project." Both Richard and his brother are well loved by the other boys and staff. Please pray that Richard would grow in his young faith to become a Godly and devoted young man.


ROBENSON, also known as Son-Son, is one of the non-residents of Maison de Lumiere. He used to live at the orphanage but now lives with and cares for his ailing mother. His younger brother, Elysee, lives at the orphanage and his older brother, Marval, is one of the staff members. He still participates in many of the orphanage events and activities and receives support for his educational and living expenses. Son-Son loves sports, especially soccer, and is an excellent student. He hopes to one day become an automotive mechanic. Please pray for Son-Son, that he would draw close to the Lord and seek God's will for his life.
