" And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" - Pilippians 4:19

I am so happily excited to share with you all what God has done. God provided to the penny the money $600 I needed to raise by June 17!!! Praise Jesus! Thank you all who are partnering with me and Stanwood Foursquare in this first missions trip to the Dominican Republic in August! Cant wait to see the fruit of what God does there, and share with you everything!

July 17 is my last deadline for fundraising! I am in need of raising $600 more dollars!!!! 

Be a part of something amazing, even if you are not physically able to be there!

Any amount, $5 - $10 or even $1 will help!!!

It is a sunny week here in Lakeside, and we are getting lots done outside. We have several families now, in the process of finding the perfect placement to serve this year, approximately 12 weeks. Its awesome to come into the office in the morning and see how many NEW applications are waiting. Thank you for all your prayers!!!

On Sunday I fly out to Colorado Springs, Colorado to spend a week with my family and celebrate my mom & aunts & my dads "50th" birthdays!!!! It will be a special time! I will also be taking time to visit three different YWAM bases - Denver, Colorado Springs and Cimarron to see what thier needs are, to work with them to see how we can help serve them better and to make the mission builder program more effective. I look forward to visiting these locations where I have sent volunteers to already. 

Thank you for all your prayers!!!!!!!

I will update more upon my return on July 2nd!

Love you all!

Will you Join My Team??!!!

Working at Mission Builders International, we are required to go on some sort of outreach once a year. I have been praying about what that might look like for this year. God opened up an incredible opportunity to not only go on an outreach, but to be a part of a Missions trip with my home church Stanwood Foursquare from Stanwood, Washington. In August I will be headed to the Dominican Republic with Stanwood Foursquare with the ministry “Food for the Hungary” - with a team of about 20 people. We will be camping in the Batey Antonci village, where Stanwood Foursquare has partnered with Food for the Hungary for the next 5-10 years, a new village that nobody has been to. Our vision is to not just build homes but build dignity, walking alongside them with good deeds. Our goal is to not have them become dependent on us but to build self-sufficiency, Teaching and giving them leadership skills, agriculture and skills training, general education, health nutrition and water sanitization, construction and working with kids, amongst many other things. I am so excited and it is even more special to be able to still be a part of what my home church is doing.

On August 24th I will then part ways with my wonderful home church family, and travel about half an hour south to Santo Domingo where I will visit the YWAM base there and the Dominican National YWAM office and do some work there, and see where we have sent some mission builders and to see what their current needs are to have a better knowledge when sending mission builders that way!

I need to raise $900 by June 19 and another $600 by July 17^! Would you consider being a part of my team?

 If you feel called to give, you can write a tax deductible check to Stanwood Foursquare Church. Please do not write my name anywhere on the check, instead place a sticky note on the check with my name so they know which account to put it towards. All checks can be dropped off at Stanwood Foursquare Church or mailed to either of the addresses below. Thank you for all your prayers and partnership! I am looking forward to preparing and making this trip special and to change lives of the Batey Antonci Village people.

Blessings, Rachel

A little update from Montana!!!

I was very blessed to be able to go home and SURPRISE my mom for mothers day! It was so great to see the look on her face when I walked through the door! It was so special. I spent a week at home, visiting with people, doctors appointments and spending time with my family. I got baptized also, which was very special. I continue to be amazed by Gods goodness every day in my job with volunteer development here at Mission Builders International. 

Its starting to get bright, sunny and warm here in Flathead Valley! I am looking forward to My Nana and Pappa coming to visit in a week & at the end of this month, I will be flying to Colorado to spend time with my family as my aunt, my mom and dad celebrate their BIG 50th birthdays! So excited! 

Now is the time to come and visit me! Glacier National Park should be fully open by the end of June and so much to do! 

Love always,
Rachel
