Three teams - One purpose

The SC Baptist Convention is sending three teams to Vancouver. I am leading one of those teams to Vancouver in February 2010. It will be my second visit, though my first for Olympic ministry. I have sent out packets to a number of people who expressed interest and some that I invited to go with us. I am very interested in the chaplaincy part. Hopefully we can get the training they require-if not, then whatever ministry is needed! I live in Lexington, SC and go to Willow Ridge church. There may be a few team members from WR. Praying about who God will lead to join our teams!

Registration has started

A lot has taken place since the last post, including NBC running the first commercial for the 2010 Olympics. Talk about a head start! Information packets have been prepared and you can download the file by going to the SCBC Website.

Your information will be sent to the appropriate team leader once the packet is returned.

Meanwhile, here are some prayer requests from our MTG contact in Vancouver:

• More housing for volunteers to become available in both Vancouver and
Whistler.
• Openness by VANOC leaders to utilize More Than Gold volunteers and resources.
• Local churches to step forward and commit to involvement.
• Success of five regional church involvement meetings taking place over the
next two weeks.
• Continuation of the spirit of unity and cooperation between the Christian
community in Vancouver and Whistler.

They also sent this picture to get us excited about the mission project:
