Pete The Potter Goes to Russia...


This summer I have the privilege to serve with SEND International in Tambov, Russia. 

15 gents from my church, Northridge Fellowship (Rogers, MN) will spend June 10-24 working to complete construction-related activities on a 3-story multi-purpose building used primarily as a rehab facility for teenage orphans and housing for a family camp.



I signed up for it because the concept of working side-by-side with
14 other guys for the benefit of kids that haven’t had families is
the stuff of good Story and I want to live in a way that clearly
indicates that my life is a Sub Plot in God’s bigger plan.  

 
That said, the trip still scares the tar out of me.  It’s a risky deal:
  • Physical concerns = heavy lifting for the guy with a gimpy back
  • Skill set requirements = I don't do concrete (yet)
  • The unknown = new country, people, & unknown outcomes
  • Financial = 2 weeks of vacation and about $3500
 
I need your support! 
Northridge asks its short-term missions folks to fund 1/3 of their trip expenses thru fund-raising efforts like this letter.  Anything over my $1000 personal fund-raising goal will help defray the cost of construction materials for the trip.  We’re estimating that building materials will run about $12,000. 


What d’ya say?  Up for helping me write this chapter of the story?   Let’s DO it!
