Guatemala 2008:A group of seven people will be leaving for Guatemala this Saturday, March 15. Two weeks ago, the Cottrell family (Curtis, Sue, Rachel, and Ben) provided us with several ways that we can pray and support them, and last week, Renee Wikkerink did the same. This week, we are featuring Ralph Terpstra and his grandson Nick. Please pray:

- For the health and safety of the team as well as the fami l i es that they’ re leaving behind.- For effective cooperation as a team in different situations.- That they will be Christ's hands and feet as they s e r v e / h e l p t h e l e s s fortunate.- For opportunities to share the love of Christ and to support the ministry of Chris and Donna Mooney.- That they will be sensitive to Christ's leading and that they will be drawn closer to God.

Guatemala 2008... how you can help:- Prayer: please pray specifically for the team members (the Cottre l l family, Renee Wikkerink, and

Ralph and Nick Terpstra), the Guatemalans who they will be ministering to, and Chris and Donna Mooney (the directors of Bethel Ministries International).- Financial Support: You can sponsor the team, an individual, or a wheelchair. To sponsor the team, simply write “Guatemala 2008” on your cheque’s notation. To give to an individual, you also need to write their name on your giving envelope. To sponsor a wheelchair, write “Guatemala wheelchair” on your giving envelope.

M2W2 Restorative Christian Ministries:M2W2 Restorative Christian Ministries endeavors to match a community volunteer with a prison inmate. The purpose is Christian friendship and mentoring based on trust established through monthly visits. Volunteers meet with their assigned prisoner as part of a group. During the group time, volunteers and inmates visit as they might over a cup of coffee. For those interested in participating (Ralph Terpstra and Arnie Friesen from JRCC are already involved), a training and information session will be held on March 15 from 9 to 3:30 at Wagner Hills Farm in Langley. For more information, email info@m2w2.com or call 604.859.3215.
