GO GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY
Repairing classrooms in Bosnia
Believe it or not, many schools that were damaged in the Bosnian civil war more than 10 years ago have yet to be repaired. What better way to show the love of Christ to a still hurting people than to assist in the repair of classrooms. They currently need a team of 5 or 6 to do the work for a ten day commitment. The money for materials has been donated and all that is needed is the workers. The cost would be $2,600.00 to $2,900.00 which would be all inclusive. The dates would be either June 20-29th or July 4-13th. For more information, email jeff@imagepointe.com.

Go National Texas Team Photos
Here is a note from Greg Rekward, one of the team who went to Texas to do hurricane related repairs. He includes a utube slide show.
"A quick show of what Texas meant to me, and what I saw. ...

"Thank you for the opportunity to serve in a part of the country I have never seen, to be able to see Christ work. Always makes me stand in awe at his own timing."

Influence Outreach Ministries Update
INFLUENCE YOUR WORLD!!
That is exactly what is happening in our Influence Outreach Ministries at Prairie Lakes Church.
A team of eight just got back from partnering with (MDS) Mennonite Disaster Service in Texas helping victims of hurricane IKE.
Just a quick debrief on Sunday morning when the team returned brought praise to my lips for all the Lord did through this team. Truly they were the hands of Jesus, truly they were servants of the most HIGH God.
And just this week we finished putting teams together for Kenya and Czech Republic. Both teams are full and are preparing for their June outreach ministry. Please pray for both teams as they begin to prepare themselves to carry the light of Jesus to both these countries. If you are interested in becoming a prayer partner for these trips just email us back and we will make sure you will get the names to pray for and updated details.
We would like to let each one of you know of something we are doing in our Outreach Ministries Department. On
Sunday, April 26th, May 3rd, and May 10th at 5:00-6:30 our own Brad Graber is sharing with ANYONE interested in
“influencing their world for Jesus” to come join us as he shares a three-part series by Steve Saint entitled
The Mission Dilemma. These sessions will give us a heightened awareness of how our presence in the field and the things we do can either have a positive outcome or create a negative result.
I have personally seen this entire series and have to let each one of you know, THIS IS NOT just for our Go Global ministries.
It is so geared for every area in our Go Local, Go National, and Go Global areas of outreach. This is why we have decided to open it to anyone interested in knowing and learning more about how to be effective in Influencing their world.
Each session will be held in the Chapel at Prairie Lakes, so please feel free to join us.
Personally I would like to say a huge “thank you” from your Outreach Ministries Committee for your willingness to serve the Lord through our Influence Outreach Ministries. From our Go Local partners, to serving on our Go National Teams, to the trips this summer we have put together for our Go Global outreach, God is using each one of you. And for all of you who have
let us know you are praying for the teams we thank you so much.
No greater joy is there in life than to know that you are in the center of God’s will for your life, serving, praying and giving your all to glorify your Heavenly Father.
Finally, don’t forget to check out the INFLUENCE section of the web site. We now have our own PLC missionaries on the site and their prayer requests. How exciting is that?
Thank you all so much for being a part of Prairie Lakes Influence Outreach Ministries.
