Tickets are purchased!!!!

We have purchased our plane tickets to Kazakhstan! It was such an amazing purchase. The team comes from 3 different states, and we managed to get tickets ending up on a layover all at the same time, so we can have hang out time, and then all on the same flights to and from Kazakhstan! I can't even believe it! God seriously was watching over the flights and the coordination and made it work out perfectly! He is so amazing! Thank you for praying for the team and for the travel arrangements. We have had many people come out and want to help us with donations and supplies. Two Hearts for Hope has been amazing at getting us supplies and money to get items over there for the kids! Thank you to Two Hearts for Hope for all your help!

Visas are in!

We have received our visas to go to Kazakhstan! We will be getting our plane tickets on Tuesday, please pray the prices will not be too expensive. We have been watching them, but you never know what day they will change! Please continue to pray for the team as they prepare for the trip financially, emotionally and spiritually!

31 days till Kazakhstan!!!!

We are officially a month out from Kazakhstan! Please pray for the team as they get prepared to leave for Kazakhstan and work with the orphans there! We are all really excited to help out, and cannot wait to see the changes in our own lives as well as the lives of others by the experience that comes through traveling.
Some prayer Requests:
The team is still raising funds to meet the full amount of $4200 each! please pray that the finances will continue to come in.
Pray that we will all be flexible and ready to help out in any way possible.
Pray that all the travel arrangements, and travel goes smoothly.

Thank you for checking on our trip and taking this journey with us!

Pictures

I thought you would all enjoy to see what the bathrooms look like that are being worked on in anticipation for our arrival.

Can you imagine trying to take a shower in this, while others can watch you? I would hate it. Thank you to all the churches that participated in VBS last year to help raise over $10,000 to go towards this project. We will definitely take pictures and update in country as to the change in the bathrooms.

Another prayer request!

We have been looking at flights to get to Kazakhstan, and keep praying the prices will go down, as to save the team money. Please join with us and pray that the prices will drop in the next week as we go to buy our tickets!

Visas!

Our visas are off to be processed for Kazakhstan! Please pray that everything goes well and that the passports are processed quickly! Also pray that the funds will come in for every team member. Each person was responsible for raising $4200 to go on the trip. If you would like to donate, go to www.hadassahshope.org, click on the get involved page and donate to Kazakhstan. I know each of us would appreciate it immensely. (and your donation is tax-deductible)

Jenny Buttler

Jenny Buttler attends church with Stacey and she is really excited to use her expertise in remodeling to help the team out. We are really excited to have her!
