A Message From Pastor Jen
Go Therefore…Guatemala Bound…
Redeemer is Guatemala Bound in July fulfilling Christ’s mandate to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19). This will be Redeemer’s second mission trip to Guatemala to serve alongside missionaries, Rocky and Karren Chupa, to minister to the indigenous Kekchi Mayan people. On this second mission we will be building a school house in Guacamaya, a rural agricultural village. The missionaries are excited because this will enable them to build new relationships in a new community. The children and people of Guacamaya are excited to have a school building for the first time. The team is excited to go! And by the response of the fundraiser meal we had in June, the church is excited to support this mission together!
Speaking of the fundraiser brisket and sausage meal, you generously donated $3,731.78 toward the construction of the school!!! God brought in even more than we needed through YOUR generous support! In addition to that, the VBS children and families brought in lots of school supplies and construction and baby supplies plus $900 in monetary offerings to purchase more needed supplies! Wow! The team is in awe of what God is doing in and through this congregation for the mission to Guatemala! So, THANK YOU for co-laboring with the team to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission!
On Sunday, July 7 Redeemer’s Guatemala Mission Team will be Commissioned and prayed over in worship. We will pack supply bags that day, then we will be on our way July 11-19. On that Sunday, we will have Prayer Itineraries for people to pick up so you can partner with us in prayer each day. The office will also send out daily prayer reminders as well. Prayer is vital, so YOU are an important part of our team.
While we are away, you will be excited to hear that Verna, our organist, and Troy Meckel will be leading a Hymn Sing in worship on July 14. Following our return, on Sunday, July 21, Don Denson will be our guest preacher and Pastor Jennifer will give a short testimony from the trip. The team will schedule a full report back to the church on a Sunday after we return – stay tuned!
Thank you! Thank you for all that the church and the community have done to support this Guatemala mission! It’s exciting to work together to be God’s hands and voice in the world! It’s exciting to help encourage education in a community where only 20% of the population currently attends school and 75% of the population is illiterate. Through this, we plant the seeds of hope and allow God to do the rest!
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” – Christ’s Great Commission, Matthew 28:19-20

The Rosebrock family
To Our Church family,
We want to thank each of you for the prayers, cards, phone calls and visits to mom. She was known at Lavernia’s Country Care Manor as “the lady that received the most cards”. She put them on her door to share and for her to enjoy.
See and speaking to each of you at her celebration of life was heartwarming.
Thank you to Pastor Jen and Pastor Gerry for a wonderful service. We are blessed to be part of this church and church family.
God Bless each of you.
The family of Leola Schultze
