Mary Kay Fund Raising for Guatemala Mission Trip

Hello,

I am Jamie Lanier's mom and a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant.  I'd love to help in fund raising for the Guatemala trip! I will donate all profits from any orders made by friends and family.

Mary Kay purchases can be made by going online to www.MaryKay.com/Corinne.  They can be put on credit card or click to send personal check. I will handle mailing each order to the individual via USPS. Normally I offer free shipping with my website orders. When purchases are finalized, the tax will be added. With the orders from friends and family, after I deduct the shipping costs, I will donate the rest to the mission fund. I'll be happy to keep up with the orders and give a weekly report.

Just be sure to add a note to the order, and/or send me an email with a note to attach the order to the 'Missions Trip Fund'! Feel free to also have anyone simply call and order from me over the phone and I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Blessings,

Corinne Lee

Team Preparation Meeting 2

Dear friends and family,

The team met again on May 15th to pray, worship, and continue our trip preparation.


We started off the meeting on Sunday with some prayer and sharing of good news. Some of us have been experiencing mountains and others, valleys in the past couple of weeks. We greatly appreciate all your prayers and support.


God has been great to us and we are over 1/2 of the way to reaching our team goal on the amount of money [$41,000] to be raised to support our project. We have some great momentum. Several us also participated in a Yard Sale the weekend of May 6 and 7 and the yard sale was a great success!


We are encouraging all to participate in an additional fundraising opportunity with Pampered Chef. You can shop from home AND help support our team in reaching our financial goal for our trip: 1) Our team will get donation of up 25% of the fundraiser's total sales. 2) The Pampered Chef will make an additional $3 contribution for each Show booked from the fundraiser. Don't forget to check out ALL new Spring/Summer products! And, if you need Father's Day gift ideas...How about: Hot Grillin' Gear For Father's Day! You can access the fundraiser at: http://www.pamperedchef.biz/iheartcooking?page=products-main&showId=3115660


After the prayer and fundraising updates, we continued with our evangelism training and watched a couple of videos that showed us more of what to expect once we arrive in Guatemala. We also worked with our EvangeCubes, a tool we will be using in Guatemala to help share the gospel.


We went over some more details about the kids' program. Until we meet again, we are scavenging for materials that we will use to decorate flip flops with the kids, one of several acitvities we have planned. We are continuing to pursue donations from retailers like Target and Walmart and have added an additional request for paper bags from WholeFoods. We need a particular size and we need a couple of hundred of them. If you shop at WholeFoods and can help us collect paper bags, we need the short square bags.


The last piece of business as usual was to pray together for our ongoing needs. Please continue to join us in praying for: *Team Unity*Team Preparation*Spiritual Warfare*Our Support Teams & Trip Funding*The Missionaries who went before us*The Missionaries who will go after us AND *The People of Guatemala.


Have a blessed day!

Training & Preparation

May is off to a great start! The team met on May 1 to pray, worship, and continue our trip preparation.

We started off with some scripture about fasting. We are planning to fast the month of June and will each be praying about how God may want us to fast in order to further prepare mentally, spiritually and physically for the trip. Fasting does not necessarily need to be food-related. It may mean taking time away from TV, the internet, or social activities in order to devote more time and focus to God and what he wants to do in our hearts to prepare us for our time in Guatemala. Just as we each encounter God in our own special way, each of us will have our own unique way of participating in the spiritual discipline of fasting. We look forward to how God will use this time to grow us and draw us near.

After scripture reading and discussion, we went over the kids' program that some members of our team have been organizing. They are doing such a great job! We are going to have lots of fun crafts, worship music (with choreography!), and games for the kids to play while we are visiting the orphanage and while we are providing medical care and counseling to adults. We have been collecting gift card donations from local retailers to help us purchase some of our needed supplies for the kids' program. We are praying to raise enough support to be able to purchase all of our needed supplies and we are so grateful for the support of retailers such as Target & Wal-mart through their local charity giving programs.

In addition, we did some additional evangelism training, focusing on the way we will relate to the people of guatemala during our counseling sessions and how we will work in partnership with the translators in order to connect with each person God brings to us and to share the gospel effectively.

The last piece of business was to pray together for our ongoing needs. Please join us in continuing these prayers as we get closer to our trip and thanks for your ongoing support!
*Team Unity
*Team Preparation
*Spiritual Warfare
*Our Support Teams & Trip Funding
*The Missionaries who went before us
*The Missionaries who will go after us
*The People of Guatemala we will be meeting

Have a blessed day!

Team Building

We held our first team building meeting on April 16th. It was a gorgeous & windy day at the park in Roswell, Ga., but the brisk temperature served to bring us even closer as we bundled up and shared coats and blankets while going about the day's agenda for team building and trip preparation.


During the day, we joined in prayer and worship, shared a wonderful pot luck lunch and participated in team building activities. We have some amazing cooks on our team! We also read from our (globalX mission trip) preparation field guides and received our first lessons in evangelism.


After a full day, we closed the meeting in prayer. Our next meeting was scheduled for May 1st. Overall, the day was a success! God showed up to encourage us through each other and strengthen us further as a team.


Thanks for supporting our team! Please continue to also pray for these six things:



  • The people of Guatemala

  • Our team unity

  • Our current support teams and God's provision to continue to lift up people who will support us through prayers and financial support

  • Those that have gone to Guatemala before us

  • Those that will go to Guatemala after us

  • Spiritual warfare
