Dear partner in mission,

It’s been an Xtreme couple of months, with teams and volunteers serving, the Xtreme Team flying off to Russia, connecting with folks at the Biennial and the AB Women at Lake Williamson, IL.  We’ve heard inspiring stories from around the world and been praying for you as you serve or listen to God’s call in your life.  

The Xtreme Team is in Russia until August 11th, so please check in with them at www.xtremeteamonline.org and read their journals, look at the photos, and leave them an encouraging note.  They return to Camp Cowen, WV for debriefing and celebration at Camp Global before returning home on August 16th.

Discover and Xplore God’s Xtremeness!

2010 Discovery Teams…preplanned trips designed to be inter-generational and for the mid-range physical ability.  To keep the email shorter, I've included links below for you to view either a list, which is a snapshot of each team, or links to each individual team page.  

Discovery Team List:

Japan
Missionary: Roberta Stephens

Italy   
Missionaries: Jim and Debbie Kelsey

China    
Missionary: Judith Sutterlin

Mexico    
Missionaries: Chuck and Ramona Shawver

Serbia    
Serbia, part of the former Yugoslavia, has been a separate country for only three years.  But Baptists have been there for hundreds, thousands, of years.  Yet, although there are 2,000 Baptists in Serbia now, Baptist is not recognized as a national religion. Come to Serbia and encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ, and be encouraged as you see how God is moving in amazing ways.  This trip would include helping reconstruct a seminary which is desperately in need of repair in time for fall 2010 students!
