Prayer for Team Possible and A Taste of Thailand Benefit

Friends of Team Possible - we are so blessed to have such a great group of people that support and encourage our family in this Ministry - we are incredibly grateful! What a wonderful team we all make together! Thank you for all you do to make our ministry possible!
A quick praise report.  Troy had a fantastic couple of Trips down to Alabama and Florida last month. In the process, 10 churches picked us up for support as well as the possibility for 5 more.  Plus, 3 churches from Minnesota.  We haven't heard the amounts yet, so are excitedly anticipating what that means for our return date in August.  God is so good and we give Him all the credit – He is amazing!
I am sending this e-mail to all of our supporters as we have a HUGE benefit coming up on June 25 at Maranatha in Wyoming, MN.  There are many of you who don't live near us, but I wanted to give you an opportunity to be a part of it, even if it is only through your prayers for our needs. 

The benefit is coming up quickly and there are a few things that you could do that would REALLY help this benefit be a Huge SUCCESS. Please let us know if you are able to help with any of the following areas.
1. Volunteer at the event - set up, decorate, cook, help with kids, clean up.... The more volunteers we get, the quicker and easier everything will go – we will even accept help from the youth!
2. Advertising... We need to get the word out there. Would you be willing to spread the word by posting our event on your face book page, and sending out an e-mail to all your local friends and family... AND talking it up amongst your friends - even if you aren't able to be there yourself. Also, would you be willing to invite people to the Event from the FaceBook Event page (A Taste of Thailand Benefit - there are 2 event pages, but you only need to invite your friends on one of them!) We think this is going to be the talk of the town - and nobody will want to miss it!
3. Donations, If you have something FANTASTIC to donate, or you know someone who does, or have the money to buy a wonderful prize (ie: a dinner for 2 at a nice restaurant, or a weekend getaway package at a nice resort, a car ;} ;) ) that would be WONDERFUL! We are having a Closed Bid Auction as well as a Grand Prize Give Away and are looking for some great prizes to include.

If you can help in any or ALL of those areas we would greatly appreciate it. The countdown has begun for our return and think this event could be just what we need to get us back there by August! :) Yahoo! We are excited to hear from you and how you may be able to help!
A couple of other quick areas of prayers are:
  1. Safety in our travels as we continue to speak in churches around the country through the end of summer.
  2. Finances: we still need about 20% of our monthly commitments to be signed and come in for us to leave by August. 
  3. Cash fund,  we still need about $35,000 for our cash funds –( airfare, visas (temporary & work), 3 months living expenses in Thailand,  etc.)  to come in  as well. 
If you would like to be a part of our team by giving monthly, or a one time cash donation please go to one of easy to follow links below:
Thank you again for all you do and are willing to do in order for Team Possible to be able to continue our ministry to Thailand. Together We CAN!
Love from the Scotts
Troy, Cheryl , Nathaniel, Naomi and Natalie!
