Hello Everyone!

The missions planning for our trip to Manitoba, Canada is well under way at this point. Everyone has sent out their support letters and we are beginning to hear back, which is awesome!

This past weekend, Timber-lee held its annual Pumpkin Walk, where children come with their families to see pumpkins that they carved at school. The pumpkins are set up along a pathway that leads to the science center and are lit up, so it’s fun to look at the lit-up pumpkins at night. The science center was open so that families could explore, meet the animals, and enjoy a free treat. The LCM team helped put on this event and also ran the refreshment table, where they welcomed donations for the trip to Manitoba. It allowed them to fund raise, while at the same time, telling people in the community about their missions trip. The pumpkin Walk was a success and also a lot of fun for the community!

We have also been working on selling Elegant Farmer pies to the community. We go around the community, selling pies door-to-door, and will deliver the pies to the houses a week later. For every pie that we sell, we receive five dollars, so it is a great deal. This fundraiser has proved very effective for the LCMs in past years, so we are glad to continue doing it this year! Different LCMs are going out weekly to sell pies to the community. Please keep this fundraiser in your prayers!

Another fundraiser that we are working on getting going is a fundraiser through Culver's. We will hand out Culver's Coupons to people in churches and also to the Timber-lee staff, so that they can use the coupons at Culver's on a designated day and a portion of the profits made will be given to the LCMs. We are currently still working with Culver's to determine a date that will work best, but we are hoping for a Sunday afternoon in November. We are also contacting local churches to ask if they are willing to put coupons in their church bulletins. This Culver's fundraiser is still a work in process, so prayer for this would be awesome!

On a different note, the LCMs have been working on planning the actual trip to Manitoba and what they want to do there. We have been divided into two groups: Preaching and Counseling & Games and Activities. The Preaching and Counseling group is planning what they want preached during the weekends and what they want the kids to go away with. The Games and Activities group is working on deciding which games and activities they want to play with the kids and which games will be best to do with the kids. There is still a lot of planning to be done, but the LCMs are working hard planning and preparing for their upcoming trip to Manitoba!

We appreciate all prayers and support that we receive! Thank you for helping us spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ through our trip to Manitoba! We’re excited to see how the Lord will show himself through this experience.

Stay posted for more news!

In Christ,
Kavin for The LCM Team.
