JUNE 1 DEADLINES!!!
The following items are due by JUNE 1, 2009 for the Bonne Terre World Changers project:
1. Final balance payment to the World Changers office at NAMB in Alpharetta, along with a copy of your roster.
2. Copy of your roster, showing school grade completed, date of birth, gender, etc. of your participants is due to the Project Coordinator Lee Saunders. You can fax this to him at 713-864-5243 or email it (word or PDF preferred) to lsaunders@gobc.org. Please send us the correct spelling of names, since this is the list we will use to make crew assignments and print encouragram envelope labels.
3. Crew Encourager applications are due to the project coordinator Lee Saunders. Please see fax and email addresses above. You can also send them by snail mail at 13935 Oakwood Lane, Sugar Land, TX 77498 or to Garden Oaks Baptist Church, ATTN: Lee Saunders, Associate Pastor, 3206 N. Shepherd Dr., Houston, TX 77018.
We are still in need of both Crew Encouragers and Crew Chiefs.
4. Transportation forms, showing vehicles, capacity and individuals from your group who are eligible to drive them. Please indicate the preferred driver of the vehicle, i.e. if one of your crew chiefs needs to drive your church van because he is carrying his tools with him.
5. Special requests for crew assignments are also due June 1. This would include separating those you think do not need to be on the same crew, youth with special ministry needs who need to be on a crew with a specific adult from your church, husbands and wives you want together (or separate as the case may be).
It is extremely important that you return all of these things to where they belong by June 1 so that we can get everything ready for you at the project when you come through the front door.
If you have not already completed your pre-project training sessions, and your local mission project with your group, please do so soon. Also, please spend some quality time with your participants, adults and youth, in evangelism training prior to coming to the project. As you know, we can’t do extensive evangelism training on Sunday afternoon and we expect your participants to come with adequate training in this area. Some of the worksites in this particular project are funded by the homeowners themselves who are able to buy materials but not able to afford the labor that would be required to work on their home. Many of these individuals are elderly. Some of the worksites have been chosen because the homes are in neighborhoods where there will be lots of ministry opportunities to the neighbors, and in which there are other potential worksites for future projects. So it will be important for your students to come prepared to share their faith.
We are looking forward to working together. Just six weeks from now, you’ll be arriving in Bonne Terre/Desloge.
