New Missionary Friends

Wednesday night I had the pleasure of meeting a family of new missionaries. Steven and Kimberly Snow received their missionary appointment this past April and when their budget is raised they will be going to the Philippines to work in a children's home. They have three beautiful girls, Kylee, Karlee, and Katelee. They currently live in Fletcher, and they live next door to one set of grandparents. The sacrifices our missionaries make don't end with the family that moves to another country. They extend to the grandparents who won't get their daily hugs from their precious granddaughters, as well as siblings, cousins, and friends.

I sensed a wonderful heart of abandonment of everything but God's desire for their lives. We need to be prayer partners and financial partners with the Snows. Please pray with me as we determine the level we will be able to partner with them. They will be back at Lakeside for our missions banquet on Sept. 28. If you didn't meet them Wednesday night, be sure to look them up at the missions banquet. They'll be easy to spot and you'll enjoy getting to know them.
