VISA Time!

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to tell you that are Mongolian Visas have arrived today, it is very exciting! Praise the Lord that it went smoothly and quickly. The Meatballs for Missions fundraiser this past Sunday at CLBI also went very well. We are anticipating our trip and piecing things together...and piecing our warm clothes together still too!! This Saturday we are going to meet with a lady that Kayla has contacts with who has been to Mongolia, so we hope that will be a good learning time and bonding time for us...please continue to pray that everything comes together...the funds, the small details, the logisitics and the team unity. Thanks so much again for the support!

We "Khan" Do It!

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to Team Mongolia's blog! As most of you already know, we are headed to Erdenet, Mongolia in January...to face the cold temperatures and gruelling winds! Our team consists of:
Kayla Grosfield-Team Leader
Jordan Leden-Medical Man
Eric Nordstrom-Chaplin
Genaya Toma- Treasurer
Erik Osness-Logistics Man
Kara Sorenson-Team Helper

We will fly out at the beginning of January to spend a few weeks with Jonny and Marina Aicken who work with World Mission Prayer League. We will be serving at a local youth center and cafe called Eternal Springs.

Please pray for us as we make flight arrangements, send off visas and that our finical needs would be met. We look forward to telling you more about our trip as more things fall into place! Thanks for all the support.
