Monday, Monday

It has been two weeks since the launch of our support campaign to return to Roatan. Now, comes the hard part, waiting to see if everyone is on board and ready to join us on this effort. Our financial statements are sent to us on the 2nd and 4th Monday every month, so this Monday will be our very first report. The excitement of knowing that we have so many people that are rooting for us and sending us awesome messages of support is very encouraging. Now, we just have to see how many people believe enough in what we are doing to actually support us financially. Not everyone is called to support in this way, it is a God thing, not a Connie and Trey thing. Neither of us will be drawing a paycheck while in Roatan, our sole purpose is to go out into the community and let others see God through our actions. That is the easy part for us, not everyone is made to do this type of work and God totally puts each of us in areas of service that HE intended us for. Whether it is being a stay-at-home mom or dad, a real estate executive, or a minister, God gave each of us talents and it is up to us if/how we use them. We would love it for people to come to Roatan and serve on a short term mission trip with us. Let us know if you are interested and we will help arrange travel, lodging, etc. Everyone that participates in a mission trip is forever changed, we are living proof of this.
Thank you so much for following us on this journey, join us if you are led to do so!
Take car and God bless,
Connie and Trey

Vick Family Launches Campaign to Raise Support...

Well, we did it! We finally launched our formal campaign to raise support for our long-term family mission to Roatan, Honduras. If you haven't already, check out our website http://www.vick6roatan.yolasite.com/

div><

Our plans are to be there by March at the latest and to fulfill a 6-month to a year commitment with rChurch. We are so excited to begin our journey and would be delighted to have everyone continue this journey with us through following our blog, checking out our website updates and most importantly praying for us.

We also ask that you consider going to Roatan on a short term mission trip. A week in an impoverished country can do wonders for your outlook on life. You would be surprised at how the small things that you do can make such a difference in the lives of others. Everyone has talents and gifts that they can use. Whether it be playing with the kids at VBS, playing soccer, building a house, repairing a house, or just just hugging on kids that may not ever get hugs at home, your gifts will shine so brightly! Another way that we need help is through financial support. We ask that you prayerfully consider to give toward our monthly bills and ministry needs. This will be an ongoing campaign and we will keep everyone posted on our progress in all areas.

We look forward to hearing from you and we will update the blog and website weekly, if not daily. vick6roatan@gmail.com

Take Care and God Bless,

Trey and Connie Vick

New Things On The Horizon....

Here recently we have been enjoying the awesome weather as well as some other great things.

My mom and her husband were in for a couple of days to visit with us, that was fun and we did all the Galveston fun stuff of hitting The Strand and of course the beach. They are back in Seattle now, missing the grandkids and the fantastic weather we are having.

Trey went to Arizona for the meeting with the University of Arizona. Very good results and they are glad to have him on board for help with the project in Roatan. This will be a long process that could be 6 months to a year down the road, but wonderful news that the Colonia may actually have a water treatment facility and possible indoor plumbing! God is great!

We had some of our friends from Roatan stop in and stay with us for a couple of days. Henry and Frances of LW4R were in the states for a couple of weeks and graced us with their presence. While they were here we had a great meeting with Lakewood Church's Ministry Team, which was very exciting and uplifting. Good things to come for sure. We got to hang out with them and share some great family time together. They are so committed to the cause and so blessed to have been able to share their experience in Roatan with oneanother.

We are also in the process of firming up some great plans with some of our other friends in Roatan, as well. The pastor and his wife, Jeremy and Melissa, which we totally connected with while there this summer, have been in BIG talks with us of late. We will be sharing some cool stuff soon on our blog and via email...so be watching!

Take care and God bless!

Connie and Trey
