Getting Ready for Nicaragua!

As soon as it was announced that Foothill Vineyard was going to be taking a mission trip, I knew it was something I was going to be involved in. I mentioned it to Greg and he thought it was great for me. We had our first meeting to go over some of the basics, and that is when Greg felt God tugging at his heart. After the meeting we decided God was calling both of us to make this trip to Nicaragua. We were worried at first about the finances and the childcare. We began planning fundraisers to earn money and sent out letters to family and friends to support our mission. Things were coming along slowly but surely. While we were in Big Bear camping with the church a wonderful family voluntered to watch the kids for us while we are gone. This was a HUGE blessing for us and we knew then that things would continue to fall into place. We continued to do fundraisers and we found how generous and supportive people can be. Here we are now 10 days before we leave and the monies have been raised, the kids have a loving place to stay, and Greg and I could not be more excited to see what God has in store for not only our team but these children who's lives are going to change forever. Please pray for our family, our health, our safe travels, and especially our kids while we are gone. 

Thanks,

Greg and Courtney
