We had our first Thailand team meeting last night and what a great group of people Iwe will be going with. We are going into the red light districts in Bangkok and Pattaya City in April! We will be bringing the unconditional love of Jesus to s*x workers and trafficked victims. We will see gold in these women, and men, and we will call it forth. We will love them and pray for them. Miracles and healings and deliverance will take place and the Kindgom of Heaven will touch earth!

It takes money for the “Go” of the Gospel and I am inviting you to partner with me on this trip! You can still apply to go (which would be awesome!) but if you can’t go, you can help send me and then you go with me in spirit and you will reap the reward with me!! I am hoping to raise another $1000 and I am so close! Thank you from the depths of my soul to those of you who have already given!! What a blessing!

This year 1st Gear Driving has teamed up with DW Diner to fundraise for Merrimack NH families. We donated a very large grill with all the fixings! The DW Diner is raffling this grill off and proceeds are going to purchase necessities for 9 homeless families right here in our little town. A portion of the proceeds will also be going to the Merrimack Hospice House towards a new ice-maker as theirs recently broke. Please come to the diner to get your raffle tickets!! The raffle is going until Dec 1st!!

DW Diner is so involved in this community and we are blessed to be able to be a part of giving this Christmas season!!
