Prayer Request
The 10-day forecast is predicting rain in Katowice on Saturday and Sunday (can't see after that...). PLEASE PRAY that we will get a break from the rain so the teams can play soccer Monday - Friday. We leave a week from today! Can't wait!!

Team Bio: Jason Adam
Hey guys,
My name is Jason Adam. I will be making the trip to Poland. I am a member of Rivertree Church in Huntsville, AL. I am married to a wonderful super dupe supportive woman - Jessica. Her age is....err...(I guess I should move on to the next topic) :) We have 2 beautiful children: Kayla (6), Noah (4). I am 32 years old and this will be my first international mission trip. My wife and I are originally from North Dakota. We have been down south almost 10 years. I am an aerospace engineer with NASA. I work at the Marshall Space Flight Center. I enjoy carpentry, grilling all kinds of things, football (Go Minnesota Vikings!!) and homebrewing craft beer. This team seems like a really great bunch of people and I am super excited for our trip!!
For more about me just look me up on Facebook under Jason Adam

Fundraising at the Farmer's Market
The Birmingham team has been raising funds for our trip at the weekly West Homewood Farmer's market, held every Saturday from 8-12 at Shades Valley Community Church (www.shadesvalley.org). We have shirts, jewelry, arts, bags and other hand crafted goods! We would love to see everyone come out!

Team Bio: Johanna Frack
Hey everyone!
I'm Johanna Frack and I have blue eyes. I am 19 years old and this year (when I turn 20) my birthday is on Thanksgiving day! I'm very outgoing and most of my friends think I am crazy (a very well founded conclusion about me). I am very talkative. I love to be silly and to encourage others around me. I also like learning things because I am a nerd. Currently, I am teaching myself how to play the guitar (I already can play the clarinet). Also, I like to be very active. I used to be a ballerina, a crew member, a gymnast, and a hockey player (unfortunately I am not good at mainstream sports, like soccer). A warning to those who will spend any time around me: I seem to be accident prone. I tend to find ways to injure myself and embarass myself. Feel free to laugh heartily when those moments happen.
I've been going to Rivertree since the summer of 2007, which is when my family moved to Huntsville, AL from Virgina Beach, VA. I've been a Christian since I was a young girl. I've grown up in a family of believers who are continually seeking the Lord, which I appreciate greatly. My parents have taught me how to search for God constantly and to seek answers to my questions. (thanks mom and dad!) Oh, and I have two brothers and two dogs.
Right now, I am a student at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington (I just finished my first year!). I'm studying to be nurse, but I am not sure what type of nurse just yet. I do know that I want to be a light for God wherever I go in life. Hopefully, one day God will call me to be a missionary and I can use the skills I learn in the mission field.
I haven't been on alot of mission trips, only the ones that my youth group were involved with. This will be my first international mission trip! But it isn't my first time out of the country. My dad has been in the Navy since before I was born, so we moved around alot. I have lived on both sides of the United States and also in Italy. And because my mother is a German citizen, we often go to Germany and France to visit relatives. Also, I have two citizenships: USA and Germany. I think that's pretty cool.
I am so excited for this trip and to do God's work! It's going to be amazing and a memory I will keep forever!

Team Bio: Emily Flack
I LOVE: road trips, excessive photo taking, experimental cooking and adventures that have no patience for safety.
I can't wait to get to know our Poland team better and to see what amazing things God has in store for us and the people we encounter while traveling.
