On Saturday, October 24th, a group of over 50 volunteers gathered at EHBC to make craft packages for the Ghana Mission Trip and sew 250 kids bags for the Guatemala Mission Trip.  One teenager said “the work was tiring yet fun”.  Thank you Sandy for all your planning and work to make this happen!  Below are picture of this fun filled day. 

On Sunday, November 15th, our team gathered to begin packing.  Several months ago, we determined that we would plan on 18 suitcases to carry all our donations and supplies.  Each week, we received more donations and the pile grew.  Family and friends from church donated hacky sacks, diapers, crayons, soccerballs, clothing and shoes.  On Sunday, our team (and families) spent the afternoon packing.  We began by filling all 250 kids bags with toothbrushes and toothpaste, a wooden toy car, a punching ballon, and a hacky sack.   We then began packing and weighting the suitcases (since each bag can not weight over 50 pounds).  Two hours later, we loaded that last portion of shoes and school supplies.  After throwing this last bag on the pile, we counted the number of bags.  Any guesses how many?  18 exactly.  Who says that God is not in the details!  We continue to be amazing at his hand in this journey.  We are all very excited and are ready to get on the ground.
