• Continue Praying for our friend Cyd Mizell and her driver Muhammed Hadi. Who were abducted last Saturday in Afghanistan. No one has claimed responsibility yet. She has been living in Kandahar  for the past 3 years working on economic development with Muslim women. Pray for her safe release, but also pray that she will be a bright-shining light to her captors. She is a strong woman, and I know that she would desire prayer for Divine opportunities as well as her safety. Obviously personal safety isn’t very high on her priority list.  
• The Journey Group will launch tonight, MONDAY night at 8 PM in the spiritual center. Let Johnny know if you would like to jump in for this semester’s group. It will involve a weekly commitment for 8 weeks.  
• Tuesday Morning Breakfast Crew will brave the cold for another serving experience tomorrow morning from 7:30 – 8 AM at the Art Museum Patio area.

·         InCounter is here!! Tiara will be organizing rides to Camp Joy-El, and everyone will receive a detailed e-mail on what you will need to bring along. We will also have that list available at Connections on Tuesday night.

Here’s a Couple of opportunities with deadlines.

• Spring Break: ReNewOrleans!. There is still some space left, and the cost for the week is a measly $50! Let me know ASAP if you plan to join us, so that we can finalize plans. You can hit reply or sign-up at Connections. Because of our limited space, the deadline is first-come-first-served. We want to nail down our team ASAP. There is still plenty of work to be done!

PRAY FOR Honduras ‘08: Our team for May is set (unless you are a fluent Spanish speaker!) I am looking at organizing another late summer trip if we have enough interest. SO far I have 3 people interested and possibly some Honduras alums, so an August trip is looking likely. Stay tuned for more details.

Speaking of Honduras… Hope For Honduras Educational Sponsors are needed. We are continuing to sponsor youth from La Acequia to attend jr./sr. high for the coming school year. We are asking sponsors for $25/month, or $300 for the year to give a deserving youth a fighting chance for a better future. This year we are taking the leadership role in this ministry, and you will have an opportunity to know who you are sponsoring and will be able to keep connected to what God is doing through your partnership

Quote of the week… “Apparently, then, our lifelong nostalgia, our longing to be reunited with something in the universe from which we now feel cut off, to be on the inside of some door which we have always seen from the outside, is no neurotic fancy, bu the truest index of our real situation. And to be summoned inside would be both glory and honor beyond all our merits and also the healing of that old ache.” C. S. Lewis
