Many of you know that Amy Windsor accompanied us on the Mx06 trip, even though she is neither a teen nor a parent of a teen.  Amy's service and skill with the kids was invaluable, and the trip served Amy in a unique way: it confirmed a desire in her heart to spend part of her summer using her gifts as an intern at the Ranch.  Here is a letter that Amy recently sent to some friends about this trip:

Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for praying for me and the entire team while we were in Mexico this past week serving at Rancho 3M. God's grace was very evident in many ways, from keeping us safe while traveling to blessing us with great times of fellowship while we served.

I am emailing you to let you know about an exciting opportunity that God has given me regarding this summer. Just to catch you up a bit, last summer I felt the Lord calling me to pray about ways that He would have me use my season of singleness for Him. Through months of prayer, seeking God's word and the counsel of my family, friends and pastors the Lord has laid on my heart a desire to go  back and serve down at the 3M Ranch for the summer. While I am down there I will be assisting the staff in their daily duties to free up their schedules a little to be able to spend more time investing in the children's lives who are currently living there. These duties would include laundry, cooking, cleaning, errands and other tasks that would bless and serve the staff.

Here's how you can help.  Remember all those people who gave so generously to send us to Mexico?  Now we can help send Amy back to Mexico:

As you can imagine a trip like this can be costly. On Sunday, April 30th right after then meeting (approx 1pm) I will be having a fundraiser lunch in the church basement. No ticket will be sold for the meal. I will be accepting donations after the lunch. All are welcome to come, eat , and hear more about what God is doing on the Ranch. The cost of the trip will be about $4,000 , which will include air fare, cost of living for my life here while I am gone and expenses that I would have while I am down there. Even if you are not able to financially give, I would appreciate your prayers and welcome you to come and participate in a great Mexican meal on the 30th. (To have an accurate count for food, PLEASE send rsvp's to send-amy-to-mx@hotmail.com)
In Him,

Amy

P.S. Please bring the whole family. Children are welcome to attend the lunch!
