California Here We Come!

by Rachel

We leave for the States in just over 30 hours!  There’s a lot to do before we leave, as we’re leaving behind the GCC team of 26 in our house, and trying to get things organized for another team to arrive the day after the GCC team leaves – all while we’re gone.  Oh, and we have to pack for our trip too…

But we wanted to let you know that we’ll be sharing about Malawi a few times while we’re in the States.  All three events will take place at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA:

Sunday, July 10th
During the 10:30am Crossroads Fellowship Group

Sunday, July 17th
During the 8:30am Cornerstone Fellowship Group

Wednesday, July 20th
A dessert reception at 7:00pm hosted by a couple of the Bible studies from Crossroads

If you can come to any of these, please do!  We love talking about what God’s doing in Malawi, and we’ll have lots of pictures to share – lots more pictures than the internet will let us upload from here!  Come if you can!

GCC High School Team

by Rachel

We thought we had a big house until the Grace Community Church High School Team showed up!  It may have been a little ambitious to add 26 people to our house, but it seems to be working.  There are a few cold showers, LOTS of shoes in the hallways, and laughter throughout the house.  Most of them are gone all day working on construction projects with Brian Biedebach, but two of them hang out with us every day for KP duty.

 

GCC HS Cups

Feeding 28 of us three meals a day has been quite the endeavor.  We’re feeling pretty organized now though, with all the cups labeled, and everyone broken into the routine.

We’re enjoying seeing these guys in action.  From playing with village kids to singing special music at church, they’re ready to jump into anything!  You can visit their blog to see what they’re up to!
