What a GREAT Summer!

This has been a great summer for JCC!

• Mission One-by-One had a very productive trip to Jonathan House. They spent some intentional one-on-one time with several of the kids at the home and helping some of the foster care families out with service projects for one week. For the other week, they led a Bible school with children from the Torwama area. Looking forward to hearing more about this trip! Pray as the team members continue to acclimate to being home.
• There was another team that was gone for over a month who have also just returned in the last few days. I haven't heard much about this trip yet. It was made up of several young adults who were going to be working on various projects throughout the Bo area. Pray also as they acclimate to being home and all the "reverse culture shock" stuff and for their time of debrief.
• Christie is doing well in Sierra Leone in the 2nd month of her 15 month stay!
• Joe Freeman--He's on staff at JCC in Sierra Leone--is coming to visit Iowa for a month! His visit is highly anticipated! Pray for his travel and culture shock.
• Baby Alice--I haven't heard much except that she is a 2 year old who came to JCC within the last 2 months (?) but only weighed 10 pounds!!! Pray as she gains weight and develops without complications.
• Pray for Kayla as she will leave for the Philippines next month to start midwifery school. It is a two year program. After that she is planning on serving in Sierra Leone. She just came back on the 2nd team mentioned. Busy month for Kayla!

Well, I will leave it at that for now! I will post later about new hours for the store. If you would like to share a story with us, please email me at the address located to the right of the blog. If you find an interesting and relevant article, feel free to send that to me too!

Thankyou for your support of Jonathan House!
