RE: Mission Trip to Ecuador

Once again the Lord has opened the door for a mission trip to Ecuador. This is a very exciting time as this team will specifically be going to teach the Deaf Women of Quito various trades. These trades learned will enable the ladies to be able to make products to sell thus making some money to live on. Some of the things we will be teaching are: crochet purses, crochet dish rags, candy bouquets, calligraphy, hair scrunchies. The missionaries feel that the deaf need to be comfortable in coming to church and knowing that the door is always open. We are planning to work with 30-40 women in Quito.

The team will be in Ecuador July 12-19th. The two ladies, Jane Walters, and Donna Lawlor, will depart home to Louisville, and I will be continuing on to further the work. I will be doing traveling and will spend time in Cuenca once again. I am anxious to see how much growth Fabiola has made since my last stay in Cuenca. So much work to do.

We ask that you faithfully pray for us. We are in God's perfect will and He has worked out everything so quickly and smoothly. We are thankful for the support from KBCD. I am especially thankful that the Lord is in control of everything and that He has a plan and purpose for this team. We go with God's support.

Thank you,

Lorie Creg

DeaFestival 2008 (http://www.kcdhh.ky.gov/deafestival/) will be on August 30th in Louisville, KY on the riverfront and K.B.C.D. wants to have a booth. The plan is to provide water, have information about the various Deaf churches and ministries in Kentuckiana, and to have Evangecubes there to share the gospel.

Would you like to help us reach Deaf for Jesus? You may wonder how you can help us. We have a need for 2 or 3 large igloo beverage coolers. These are the same kind as used by sports teams and construction workers. We will put in ice that will melt and keep cold in the hot weather.

Perhaps you are willing to help watch the booth. If you or someone you know is willing to help please contact me at spfd@iglou.com with the hours you want to work at the booth or a water cooler for us to borrow.

A special thanks to Richie and Keva Noble, and Dwight and Judy Swim who will be with us at the booth for DeaFestival.

Your servants for Him,

EDIT: I catch myself that deaf revival will be in October 2009 but not 2009,
I mean 2008. Oh Sorry and I will proclaim later.

The North American Mission Board (NAMB) and the ITP will offer three courses for all interested interpreters and deaf leaders at First Baptist Church of Arnold, Missouri, on Saturday, July 12, and Sunday, July 13, 2008. The courses will begin early Saturday morning. All persons taking the ITP course are asked to arrive on Friday evening to ensure you will not encounter problems due to late arrival or delayed flights. Then, you will receive 1 CEU for the full ten hours.
