Here's a letter from Autumn with the complete info:

I'm excited that my mom and I are going on a mission trip to Cochabamba, Bolivia in March. Lord-willing, we will be flying down on March 5th and returning on March 17th.

In Cochabamba, I will be helping out with several different kinds of ministries.  I will be assisting with two Saturday kids Bible clubs held, serving at an orphanage, doing street ministry and helping a local missionary family with their current projects.

I am preparing for this trip by taking a Spanish class and participating in an online Spanish club,  co-teaching an after-school Bible club once a week in a Hispanic neighborhood (Child Evangelism Fellowship's Good News Club), and studying the basics of Catholicism (since that is a major religion in Bolivia).

We would like to ask for both your financial and prayer support.  We need a total of $4200 for the trip. I have already earned $1000 by face painting, babysitting, leading a kid's summer camp, pet sitting, and having bake sales. The funds received will be used to pay for plane tickets, supplies for the orphanage, visas, housing, and other day-to-day expenses. To support us financially, you can mail a check, made out to "Grace Church"  with the memo line "Bolivia", to our home address. The following is a list of items you could help with:

$35 Baggage Fees (4 needed)                                                                         $80 One-way local flight into Cochabamba (6 needed)                                   $50 Visas (4 needed)                                                                                    $25 One night of lodging (25 needed)                                                               $10 One meal for Lauren and Autumn (30 needed)


In addition to financial support, we would love to have people commit to pray for us now and during and our trip. Prayer for the following things would be greatly appreciated:
  • For God's provision of financial needs
  • For the children I will be meeting to have open hearts and understanding minds
  • For the Holman family, the local missionaries we will be serving with
  • For God to continue to work in my personal life, so that the gospel may be shared effectively through me
  • For me to keep up with my Spanish class and other preparations

If you'd like to pray for us, email me at autumn@carlsoncrew.org or sign up at www.carlsoncrew.org so that I can add you to the list to receive updates about our trip.

We want to thank you for partnering with us as we prepare for this exciting trip! May God bless you and your family throughout this New Year!

 In Christ,

Autumn
