Team Laos is leaving Monday, July 19 for Southeast Asia for 15 days!  As this group is the "hands and feet" the rest of the congregation is the "heart" of the Body of Christ, playing an equally important role by sending this team out and praying for their time of ministry.  Only 1.5% of the population of Laos call themselves Christian (compared to 76% in the U.S.) and the average per capita income there is $2,100 (compared to $47,000 in the U.S.).  Our team will be tangibly serving the Lao people there by conducting an English Camp and English Conversation Club, and in the midst of that hope to be able to share a little bit about "the reason for the hope that we have."  Please be praying both for the Lao people this team serves, and for our team as a whole that God will work in and through them in powerful ways and their lives will be forever changed because of it:  Levi Cover, Nick Dyson, Dave Gilday, Scott Gilday, Hannah Grossman, Katie Lamb, Donna Langhorst, Ryan Langhorst, Angela Robinette, Connor Robinette,  Amy Schleitweiler, Steven Simpkins, Judy Turner, Russ Turner, Ryan Turner, Allison Wood, and Mark Wood.

If you need to contact the team while they are gone, the best way will be through their Skype phone number: (513) 283-0526 (you will only charged for a local call).  They will be posting photos and updates to the Crestview website, so make sure to check that frequently!
