Missions trip to Germany

This summer, Heston has the opportunity to help head up a sport-minded missions trip to Nurnberg, Germany, June 19-July 3. This trip is sponsored by Northland's Athletic Department. The trip will be coordinated by missionary Jeff Brown, who is a friend of Northland. The team going to Germany consists of 11 college men, 2 Northland Alumni, and 2 coaches, which includes Heston. Although he is helping to coordinate the trip, he is also planning on playing goalie in the games that have been set up. There will be many unique opportunites to share the love of Christ both with the German people and those who are visiting the country for the World Cup. They will also have opportunites to do service projects, work in the church, and pass out tracts. The Lord has given the group of men an awesome opportunity to share thier faith through the avenue of soccer.

Please pray for the details in preparing for the trip and for the activities while they are ministering in Germany. The cost per individual for the two week period is $2,000. This amount will cover transportation to and from the country, room and board, and expenses while in Germany. Would you be willing to prayerfully consider assisting Heston in raising the funds as he seeks to go on this once in a lifetime opportunity?

Thank you for your prayers! We are excited to see the Lord provide the money for Heston to be able to go on this trip. We will keep you posted as the funds come in! The Lord does provide! We have seen that first hand in our marriage and we thank the Lord for that!

Originally I was going to be able to go on this trip with Heston, however, the other coach's wife just recently had a baby and therefore would not be able to go. They didn't want to send just one lady, so as a compromise, I am going to go home to Colorado and visit my family for a week! I haven't been home since last April so I am really excited!

Yes, Matt and Jennifer are still here. She is the one who just had a baby. Matthew Christian was born on Valentine's day. William will be 2 in May. We've definately enjoyed getting to know them!

Do you have any pics of the Hotchkin's? I haven't seen either of their children. She was pregnant with William when we moved.
