Roatan Mission Trip Meeting Friday Night

Hello Friends,
Things are really coming together wonderfully as we prepare for the Roatan Honduras Mission Trip scheduled for March 22-29, 2009. We have been in contact with various people and our teams with core leaders are all in place. We would like to call a time for prayer and discussion about our mission trip on Friday evening November 14, 2008 at 7pm in the church Garden Chapel. We apologize for any challenges on a Friday night but we feel that we must continue to move forward blanketed in prayer. We recognize that this message has taken a little longer than we would have liked but please accept our apologies. We feel as though we cannot in good faith ask for a deposit and a financial commitment until we get some clarification from the group. Pastor Saul, Scott Jones, and Pastor Isaac have been working on airfare and we have generated more questions than we have answers. We would like to meet for just 1 hour. The first half hour will be a season of prayer. The second half hour will be a conversation about our trip. The two main issues are:
1. The interest by several people to stay and tour longer after the mission trip.
2. Cost of airline ticket compared to the airport we depart and return from.
Thanks again everyone for your interest in this mission.If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to let us know.
