Now, it is time for the two Ambassador (High school) camps. Over the next two weeks, we will have @ 115+ participants and 23 leaders take part in these two camps. Our Ambassador leaders arrive next Tuesday with participants coming in a few days later. The 5 teams that will be going on one-month trips leave on June 24^th. The training for leaders and participants in our second group of Ambassador teams begins 2 days later and then they take off on July 4^th.  I (Connie) will be leading a team of all girls to Guatemala with friends Jess and Kristen.  From there, I'll update when I can. Don will be staying in GA to provide support for all of the teams while they are on the field and then debrief with them as they return.

This is our third summer working with AIM and it is extra special for us.  We are excited about the teams, the leaders and the serve crew (potential and previous leaders) coming to help with all things training camp from prayer and teaching to team builder activities. It's a big task that requires a team of people. There are a couple individuals going on trips that we knew from previous churches we served at....(Allie Mrakovich and Jennifer Wahler) in addition to a few of my much younger cousins. A few of our nieces as well as Don's sister, Shelly will be helping with the camps. It will be great to see all of them.

There's a lot of great ministry happening here and abroad. I wish we had time to tell you all about it. Please take some time to snoop around the AIM website to read some blogs and look at the pictures. If you'd like to be a part of what God is doing in and through AIM – please contact us.
