A Shameless Plea for Support
This a plea. It is shameless.
We are suffering from a stinky economy.
There is still time.
These are life-transforming opportunities.
Four of my children have been on 2-month long mission trips overseas. Phebe went to Egypt and worked in an orphanage. Evan went to the outback of Australia and built an airstrip. Katie went elsewhere in Australia and did evangelism and painting. Dylan went to Cambodia and poured the 2nd floor for a Bible School there.
This summer, two of my children are desiring to return. They have both raised over 50% of their support. They still need a lot more.
Dylan is going to Papua. He will be sleeping in a tent and bathing in a bucket while he’s there. His team is helping to construct a facility for a Bible School. There are already Bible School students there, but they don’t have a facility to hold their classes in. Towards the end of the project, Dylan’s team will join these students from Papua and will head out to do evangelism on the Spice Islands.
Dylan still needs $2300.00

Katie is going to Malawi. She is on, what they call a “foot washing” team. They bring with them, hundreds of pairs of shoes, socks and medical supplies. Since their baggage is limited, and they need to bring the shoes, each team member can only bring enough personal items to fit into a back-pack. In respect of the culture in Malawi, the girls will be wearing skirts the entire time they are there, and will purchase these when they land in Malawi. They will then be visiting orphanages every day… providing medical care, socks and shoes for these children. The #1 reason why children contract sickness and disease in Africa, is because of their unprotected feet.
Katie still needs $1995.00

Please pray for my children. If you can, please consider supporting them. They need their support by June 20th.
If you can support them, please send a check (or two, they have to receive separate checks for each team) -made out to: Teen Missions Int’l
to: Dylan and Katie Myhre – 1367 Union Mills Road – Troy, VA. 22974
Thanks a ton!

Jon, I had graduated BMW a year before you were there, but my wife was a BMW student in ‘91 – So far, I’ve had 4 of my kids on trips – 2 of them have gone twice. 2 Australia teams, 1 Egypt team, 1 Cambodia, 1 Malawi and 1 Papua
Did you have staff leaders? If so, who?
