Dear
I am super excited about this year’s spring break because I plan to go to Haiti for a youth mission trip! But I can’t do it alone, I need first of all and most importantly God’s help and second I also need your prayers and support.
On this trip, a group of 12 of us will be staying at an orphanage there for about a week. We will pack our suitcases full of food, clothes, and presents sent by their adopting parents in our area for the kids. This will give us a chance to help out as much as we can at the orphanage and share the good news of Jesus Christ with them. I am excited to see all the plans of service the Lord has for us there. What an amazing opportunity I have to reach out and love the orphans of Haiti!
Unfortunately the funds for this trip are great. For the total trip including airfare, the expenses are a little over $1200. Our youth group has worked hard to raise funds by doing numerous fundraisers, and we still have more in the works. We are almost halfway to reaching our goal! If you would like to help support our youth group financially, you can send a check or money by mail to New Braunfels Bible Church, 652 Loop 337,
New Braunfels, TX 78130 or you can just send it back to me at the address above. All checks should be made out to New Braunfels Bible Church with my name and youth mission Haiti on the subject line. For more information, you can visit my blog that I have made to help support the outreach to the kids of Haiti. If you have facebook, it is easier to donate if you go to my blog, http://youthmissionshaiti.blogspot.com. I will also post while we are in Haiti, so you will be updated on our ministry there.
If you are unable to partner with me financially, I totally understand and your prayers are more precious to me than anything. Pray that we will trust in God’s providence and also that God would work through us to touch the hearts of all the people of Haiti, especially the kids. Thank you so much for your time and support!
Blessings,

Support and Spaghetti!
God's blessings are never ending! My goodness I sent out my support letters just last week and already our Haiti funds are getting greater and greater. While at tennis practice the other day, a friend of mine gave me a 100 dollar bill, and then later that night while I was babysitting my pastor slipped 50 dollars and an encouraging note into my purse. Our God is always faithful. For any of our group members who still need to get their plane ticket payed off, I strongly suggest support letters. I have posted mine as an example to help get you started. Send it to your close church family or friends asking for prayer and support. We need all the help we can get. Thanks to all who helped with our youth Spaghetti Dinner (special thanks to Paige Wells for her amazing servant's heart. We could not have pulled it off without all your help). 2200 dollars total was raised! The bake sale was tremendous, the spaghetti buffet line was delicious, and the fellowship was incredible. It was a complete success!

Thank you Chicky Flicky!
Tonight we had our first fundraiser of the month thanks to my favorite fast food place in the whole wide world, Chick- fil-a. The place was packed full of people and I could just feel our plane tickets for Haiti being payed off. amazzing feeling... Thanks to all who came to support us! God is using each and every one of you to touch the lives of the kids of Haiti. He is already at work providing for us, preparing our hearts and the hearts of others. So many people have come up and asked me how much more money we have left to raise. For our youth group as a whole we need 6 to 7 thousand dollars left. It seems like an impossible moutain to climb, but with God all things are possible. This truly a test of faith. Keep us in your prayers!

Its Fundraiser Time!
Hello Everyone! 59 days until we board the plane for Haiti! I find myself thinking about Haiti all the time now and everyday I get even more excited. This opportunity is so awesome, but we still have tons of work to do: money to raise, fundraisers to organize, and plans to workout. This month we have a couple fundraisers going. On January 18, Chick-fil-A has offered to give 20 percent of whatever you order to our Haiti youth missions.Thank you chick-fil-a! If you get it to go or dine in with your family make sure you tell them that it is for the Ream Family Fundraiser or you can just get a flier from me. Also on Sunday, January 23 our youth Group is hosting a spaghetti dinner right after service at New Braunfels Bible Church. You are more than welcome to drop in for lunch. We will have great food, deserts, and entertainment. Its 10 dollars for every meal which will hopefully boost us closer to our goal. I keep praying that God will provide and thank you so much for your support! if anyone has any fundraiser ideas please let me know!
