The East White Oak college ministry is an Adult Bible Fellowship focusing on college aged adults, but by no means restricted to college attendees. Over the past several years relationships have grown, and the group wanted to take a step of faith. The Argentina winter trip was conceived to be a missions trip taking us to a land where we wouldn’t know the language (though several are familiar through scholastic training), and spread God’s word. Following the Great Commission, we are going to the ends of the Earth.
Initially the group was larger, but reduced in size due to the financial strain of life and college. The final group going became John, Heather, and Diane Fahrenkrug; Dave Schmidt, Gayle Williams, Sarah Gregory, Arthur Avery, Jon Robert Turton, Audra Fritzen, and Trevor Mitchell.
Now in the final days of preparation, the planned activities have changed a number of times, and we now are coming with a spirit of flexibility, ready to follow however God calls us to be used. Strong prayers for safety are appreciated, but far more welcome are prayers for God lead hearts and significance, along with humility. May the peace that surpasses all understanding be with you.

“El Hijo del hombre tiene que ser entregado en manos de hombres pecadores, y ser crucificado, pero al tercer dÃa resucitará.” –Lucas 24:7
