Thank you for your prayers.

Hi everyone,

I know it has been awhile since I have written something here. March 8th the day after my birthday I woke up to get ready to go to the 7:00 morning prayer at the church and noticed I felt sick. This was the first day the fever, headache, and body aches came. I thought I probably had the flu and it would pass quickly. It was a long day as any day is when you have a fever, and I hoped that during the evening it would pass, the next day I was the same way and so my thoughts as well as those of almost everyone else turned to dengue. Dengue is a virus transmitted by mosquitos here in Brazil. So I went to the doctor to find our more. After about three different blood tests they found out that I did not have dengue, and that more than likely it was the rotavirus. Bloodwork did show a virus and I am still fighting that off. The doctor told me to not go back to church as I had gone on Sunday until this Saturday as this virus is highly contagious.

I want to thank everyone who was and is praying for me. I appreciate it very much.

Mike

Camp Photos

Some of you are probably anxious to see our camp photos. All I can say is you will need to be patient. I am hoping to get some really good ones from a couple in our church as well as, some that we took developed soon. I would guess that I should have them up by the middle of next week. Look forward to telling you more about a successful camping program too. God Bless.

New Shares Program

What is the new shares program. Well, basically it is this; one share equals $25 dollars per month. It is a new program that allows donors to give more regularly and choose a certain number of shares that they would like to committ themselves to throughout the year. 1 share a month $25 a month or $300 a year. Why is this important, because we are able to know how much support we have or lack throughout the year. Many times we are left wondering if the support will come in at the end of the year, with this new program donors, the missions office, and missionaries will have a better handle on what is happening financially. If you would like a better explanation information is available at the following link CCGGC Missions
We are currently in need of 84 more shares to be fully funded for the year 2006. If you would like to sponsor one or more of the shares please contact Dee. Please site #2750 to make sure that the funds go to Poe support.
