Germany or BUST!

I am going on my 2nd mission trip with my church (Grace Baptist) in August. A few years ago I went to El Salvador, so this is going to be a completely different kind of trip. We are going to Vilseck Germany to Rose Barricks where the 409th Base Support Battalion of the U.S. Army is stationed. Most of the soldiers are on active duty in Iraq. A team of ten from Grace will be helping lead Vacation Bible School for the kids of the soldiers as well as doing some things at night for the wives that are left at home to care for their families.
I am really excited about this trip. I hope that if only for a week we can make a difference in the lives of families who give up so much for our country and our freedom.
Please pray for us as we prepare and learn materials for VBS, gather needed items to take with us and also for financial blessing since we have to pay $1600 to go on this trip. Oh, and also pray hard for Jeff Chambers, he is the guy who is leading this particular trip and so far he is the only male from our church who is signed up to go. We would love to take another guy, preferably one who plays an instrument!
I know this is alot to ask people to pray for but I also know that our God is a GREAT BIG GOD!
