Vietnam

This is going to be an amazing trip and you won’t want to miss this.
Join Tim Lee, as he and others will have the opportunity to share the gospel. They will be visiting some orphanages and take gifts to the children and try to be an encouragement to the workers. For more details visit Tim Lee’s website www.timlee.org and click on click on Vietnam at the top.
For more details on the mission trips, refer back to the Jan. 20th email or email Bryan at bgi...@capis.com
Mission Calendar: Stay up-to-date on current mission opportunities through the new Global Outreach Missions Calendar. http://www.prestonwoodmissions.org/trips
Family friendly opportunities will be noted.
Open Gym (Wednesdays weekly): 7:00pm Bible study. Afterwards everyone plays basketball or volleyball until 9:30pm. You must attend the Bible study and be in class by 7:15 in order to qualify for gym access afterwards. Dave Chadbourne is the teacher and Beth is the director and they do an awesome job. If you can volunteer to help them out on a Wednesday, please contact Beth Carter at Isabe...@gmail.com
Dallas Life Foundation Homeless Shelter (1-2x/ month): This ministry continues to grow, and the more people who come check it out, the more decide it's a way they'd like to serve! The address is 1100 Cadiz Street in Dallas (just South of the Convention Center & City Hall), but if you'd like to carpool there are always others who are going down. Our upcoming dates are: June 26
Each time we go, the schedule is the same: group (Prestonwood as well as several other churches are represented) will meet down there at 5:45, the service is from 6:00-7:00 (Praise & Worship time followed by preaching by Oscar Castillo), and then there's a little time afterward to pray and encourage the residents. We sometimes eat out together afterward as well. Email Beth at isabe...@gmail.com for more information, especially if you need help finding a carpool buddy!
CARES Volunteer Opportunities: These are events that reach out to apartment residents in Plano.
Typically, a small group (2-4) of us come in to serve food so that the existing CARES team can build relationships with the residents.
The next event is:
Taco Salad Dinner
July 27th 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Please contact Leslie Eden (laed...@yahoo.com) if you are interested in volunteering for any upcoming events.
