Great Deal on Pajamas

ltcm — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:53:42 +0000

Vicki has found a great deal on PJ’s online. For $6.00 (including shipping) you can get some nice Disney PJs delivered to our door! Add $4.00 to that for a Wal-Mart blanket and you have a total of $10 invested to make a kid warm and snug this winter! What better way to invest ten bucks! Vicki just ordered 24 pair of Pajamas and you can help with them, or add to what we need to complete everyone. We still have 9 kids here, 10 kids in Mexico, and 9 adults to buy for.

How To: PJ’s 101

ltcm — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:54:52 +0000

Here is how to participate in the PJ and Blanket ministry.

The list of names/sizes/genders is being updated now by Brother Don in Piedras Negras. We have to update each year because:

Sizes change as the children grow
Children get adopted
New children come in to the orphanages

As soon as the list is complete We will give you a name/size/gender and you can find the PJs that you want to buy for that child/ children.
We ask that you buy sturdy, and warm pajamas. It gets cold there in the wintertime just as it does here. Even for girls we ask that you buy pajamas with pants. Flannel PJs are best.

Next, wrap the pajamas in Christmas paper with a ribbon or bow, and a name tag with the child’s name. Then pray over the pajamas and pray for the child, placing a blessing on both!

For those wanting to buy blankets, what we are looking for are the Fleece “Throws” that are so popular.

If you want to buy both and be a double blesser, please do! We wont mind and the children wont mind either.

Firewood and Friends

Cutting a little wood this weekend. A few friends are coming over to help. Some of the wood will be used to cook the pork for the camp stew sale. Some will be used to keep warm this winter.

Firewood and Friends…………both have a warmness to them. Enjoy your weekend!

Stew time

ltcm — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:44:27 +0000

LTCM is ready to sell their all time famous Paw Paw’s Camp Stew once again. Money is needed for the winter trip and stew sales always pull in needed funds, plus are a wonderful social event for those who like to help. In order to help us raise the maximum amount of money possible, we are asking for donations of the following items:

Meat: Boston Butts, Beef Roasts and Whole Chickens

Produce: Sacks of Onions and Taters

Canned: (#10 cans) Tomato paste, Whole tomatoes, Whole kernel corn, Baby Limas

Bottled: Hot Sauce (Texas Pete or equivalent), Worcestershire and V-8

Other Items: Fish Cookers (Propane), Pots LTCM owns one big aluminum pot, but is in need of another. A cast iron wash pot or aluminum pot will be great. In years past we have had access to a commercial stove to cook on, but that is not available now. We could use a couple of fish cooker type burners and be able to cook the stew outside (like good stew is supposed to be cooked).

If you have any of these items or would be willing to purchase them, we would be thankful and put them to good use. Tickets will go on sale in a week, and the tentative date for pickup of the stew will be 11/21/09, the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

The Winter Trip to Piedras Negras is scheduled for the second week of December.

We will leave on Saturday – 12/05/2009 and return on Friday – 12/11/2009. If this sounds like something you want to do, let us know at no1likhim@yahoo.com.

We have room for 4 to tag along with us. If you have never been on a mission trip, this will be a good first time experience for you. We will be working with the children at 3 orphanages, and also some seniors as well!

Blessings!

Distant Rumblings

ltcm — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:41:19 +0000

Yes, I hear the sound of distant rumblings. No, I speak not of thunder, or of my stomach. I’m hearing the rumblings of excitement as we begin our push for the winter trip to Piedras Negras. A good reminder of how fast that trip is approaching is what will take place on October 3rd. The 3rd annual Diaper Run for bikers will take place. Every year we strap huge packs of diapers onto motorcycles and head north of Montgomery to Adullam House.

You should be there when the bikes roll in, and the kids are jumping up and down. I have to note that God is blessing this venture, as the number of bikes each year grows. This year should be no exception.

With the fall of the year here, we are finally getting a reprieve from the summer heat. War is being waged in college football stadiums across the country. Days are getting shorter. Plenty of things abound to capture our imaginations.

But the heart of LTCM hears the rumblings of the mission field calling. This year we will have room for 4 travelers with us in the minivan. Perhaps it is your turn to go with us! Pray and see what God says. We would love to have you along!

Blessings on your week!

Mike
