Shirt Sizes

Mas que Vencedores Team 2010,

At our meeting Saturday we talked about getting our Costa Rica Team shirts before our McTeacher night on December 3rd. In order to do this I will need your shirt sizes. Let me know soon so we can have them done before our next meeting on November 14 (8am!). This year we are looking into a polo type shirt with something embroidered on it. That way we can use it for traveling and for the church service.

Animo!

2010 Prayer Support Letter

“When man places his own interests above the interests of others, then disaster becomes the order of the day.  . . .  society will be devastated by the deadly consequences of selfishness.” 

 Sammy Tippit – The Choice

Dear friends,                                                                                                                    

 As people who live in a very self-centered world, we need reminders and opportunities that reinforce the truth that “it’s not all about me”. Rock County Christian School is working hard to prevent the “deadly consequences” of the self-centered mindset in various ways.  One of these opportunities is our 3rd mission trip to Costa Rica, Central America.  A group of over 20 students, staff and parents will be leaving June 6, 2010.  We will be doing manual labor at a local church.  There will be opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ in local neighborhoods as well as times to share testimonies, songs, and dramas in the local church.  We also hope to gain a better appreciation and understanding of foreign missions and different cultures and customs.

A student from our first mission trip wrote the following about his experiences on this mission trip.

            “… I think I learned the most in the seven-day Costa Rica trip.  I enjoyed the team aspect of the Costa Rica trip the most. Building the church under the Costa Rican sun was a lot easier when there were a couple of friends to help. I was also glad that I was not the only person on the trip that shared their testimony in Spanish. Having others go through the same experience that I was going through was comforting, and their company made all the physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding activities a whole lot easier. The team, however, was not the only group of people that helped me. I also did a lot with the native Ticos. We helped with the youth group, played soccer for four hours, and even stayed at their houses for two days. In our adopted Ticos’ homes, we were taken care of very well; and I was surprised at how lively they interacted with us. Even though I was exhausted after the seven days, I still wanted to continue working.” 

Each participant is responsible for securing at least 5 prayer partners to support us as we prepare and then go to Costa Rica.  We are also responsible for raising $1000 each to cover the cost of the trip. A large portion of the money raised will go to purchase building supplies as well as materials for outreach.  

If you would be interested in supporting _______________________ on our mission trip to Costa Rica, please fill out the box below and return it to the address below.  Your tax deductible gift will help us accomplish our goal of serving others while learning important life lessons. 

Thank you for joining us in our efforts to share our faith and resources with the Costa Rican church.

Sincerely,

Tim Befus,
Administrator, Rock County Christian School

06-26-09 Costa Rica Car Wash Pictures

Car Wash

CR 2010 team–

Excellent job today at the car wash! Nice team effort on behalf of all (except for maybe 1 person who will remain nameless, I mean shameless—Dr. Rev)

We raised $426 for the trip!

Please send me the times you are available to sell pop at Riverfest ASAP. I will have  to turn our schedule in next week sometime. Multiple days/times is encouraged. At 50 cents a bottle I think this could be a big fundraiser for us!

Next car wash—Saturday, July 25 10am.
Next team meeting—Saturday, September 19, 10am

Tim Befus,
Administrator Rock County Christian School
