The Countdown Begins!

This time next week 15 members of New Hope Community Church will be running around their homes, finishing up their packing, saying goodnight and goodbye to their families for 10 days. This time next week most of us will not be able to fall asleep from excitement, anxiousness, or just the fact that they have to meet to leave at 3:15am! This time next week will be dropping of our pets for care, signing off Facebook and praying that God uses us over the next ten days!

This time next week in Thailand, Jeff and Jessica will be preparing for the English camp where we will be working. This time next week, they will be putting the final touches on our trip details and plans. This time next week they will probably have one more push for signing people up for the camp.

This time next week, some Thai students will be talking about what to expect at the camp. This time next week they will be getting ready to try some of their English out on some real life Americans. This time next week, some will be studying for test, going out with friends, and probably not giving much thought to the English camp.

What will you be doing this time next week? We hope that you will be praying on our behalf that night and every night for 10 days.

Come back often over the next few days and weeks to find out what's going on half way around the world!
