Dear Thailand Team,

NEXT SATURDAY IS THE DAY WE HOST PASTORS FROM THAILAND FOR OUR TEAM MEETING!

As you'll remember, we moved the third meeting to Sat. 9/27 to accomodate our friends from Thailand, pastors from the Lahu tribe -- and there will be 6 of them! Sooooo, get your questions ready! This will be the time to ask!

Time and place: 1 pm, our house. (Of course, if you have questions about that, better not wait until next Saturday. Ask now!)

TO MAKE THINGS EASIER, I'M PROPOSING WE POTLUCK IT. Please bring something for a shared meal, since there will be so many of us at this meeting. Also, come early -- say 12:30 or 12:45 -- so we can get things rolling on time. If you can let me know what you'll be bringing, that would help our planning.

ON TO OTHER ISSUES:

1) If you don't have your paperwork properly filled out and in my file -- bring it on Saturday!!

2) Are you one of those who hasn't submitted your questionnaires? Bring that too.

3) Have you checked your financial obligation schedule lately? Where do you stand?

Hint, hint: I told everyone that SEPTEMBER (the month we're in now) is the month to get all fundraising letters in the mail -- to avoid the distractions of the holidays. If I were you, I'd get all correspondence in the mail before Saturday! Don't say you can't. Just do it!

4) FYI, in talking to our travel agent, I anticipate that airline tickets for the Thailand Outreach will be purchased in mid-late November. If you have not filled out proper paperwork, haven't a valid passport and/or haven't kept up with your financial responsibilities according to "Policy & Procedures" then no ticket will be purchased in your name. A word to the wise is sufficient.

5) I want to encourage to ask people you know to participate in the Thailand Prayer Team. You can get their name and email address for team prayer updates or, you could send them this link to sign up: http://list.ambassadorministries.net/mail.cgi/list/thailandprayer/. (Be sure to try it out yourself first so you know how it works.) By the way, we need to talk about this matter on Saturday. We could use a Thailand prayer coordinator. Hmm...

May the Lord richly bless you!
