Concerns about the Haiti devastation and completing the mission trip to Dominican Republic:
Concern that the young people may not be allowed into the Dominican Republic due to the over crowded conditions created by Haitian citizens
Health and Housing
Will the young people truly be able to participate in and complete the Mission Work at the Orphanage, Senior home, Church and the work with the Migrant Workers?
Rev. C has asked if you would address the concerns as it relates to the upcoming Dominican Republic Youth Mission. I have searched the U.S. Department of State (travel.state.gov) for any warnings or alerts, and as of this date there are none.

Never will I leave you,
Never will I forsake you.
Hebrews 13:5b
Greeting in the Matchless Name of our Lord and Savior,
The mission trip to India has met with success! I have heard only positive testimonies from those who traveled to A.M.E. India for India’s Inaugural Annual Conference and we thank you for your prayers.
Our next mission trip is June 13th - 23rd to the Dominican Republic where our youth will experience their first outreach in a foreign country. We have approximately 70 youth and 15 adults traveling. I will also travel on this trip. Please offer our youth your support in whatever manner is needed. Each person traveling will bring 2 bags with them, one for themselves and the other will be left in the Dominican. Each person has a list of what is needed for the trip. We are praying every morning between 7am – 8am (EST) and 6am – 7am (CST). You may pray by yourself or gather a group to pray with you.
Christian Education Congress is scheduled July 7th – 10th, “Mandate for Global Impact”. Our focus will be the Eradication of Violence of every kind. To support our initiatives we are selling pins at $10.00 each, to be worn the week of Congress, whether or not you attend. We ask that if you cannot attend the complete Congress, that you attend on the day of your conference experience and invite others of different denominations. They could be Christians or those interested in becoming Christians. We want to impact the world. Pins will be available soon. Information can be found in this edition of the newsletter. If you have not registered for Congress as yet, I urge you to do so. You will find a registration form and hotel information also in this newsletter. We are honoring our Life Members at a Royal Tea on Wednesday, July 7th at 2p.m. At the same time we will have a “Princess Court” for girls ages 6 – 10years. We have only 100 Princess tickets and we asking 100 adults to bring a child with them. This will be a cultural experience for our young girls; they will have tea with one of our missionary sisters and will be mentored and receive instruction on etiquette.
Our Healthcare Mission to Lesotho is in need of additional Health Care workers; Doctors, Nurses and support persons. More details are listed in this publication.
I praise God for you because without you, there would not be a Women’s Missionary Society. We would not have this great body of women and men focused on doing the work of the Lord; doing great things throughout the 4th Episcopal District and throughout the world.
To God be the Glory for the Things He has done! We are the 4th and rising!!

Report
Greetings Missionary Sisters:
I greet you in the love and peace of the Lord, Jesus Christ. I wanted to make you all aware of how God is truly blessing His missionary work in Albion, Michigan.
The women of our local society are striving to grow spiritually through studying God’s Holy Word and serve continuously through the ministry of missions. Below are some highlights of some of the ways that God has blessed us to serve since the last Area Meeting.
Missions Activities:• Mothers Day Visitations: The members of the WMS and YPD partnered to deliver cards and flowers to 35 women who reside in the nursing home in our community. It was a wonderful cross-generational experience that allowed us to share the light of Jesus Christ with those who needed to see and feel His love.• Emphasis Sunday- Health Theme: The society has focused on a health theme for our emphasis Sundays for this conference year. The May emphasis was in emergency medical responses and CPR. God has blessed us to have several health care professionals in the congregation that assisted in this presentation. Our goal was to show the congregation that we ALL are called to save lives- and we can do so both spiritually and physically.
Upcoming Events: • Dominican Republic Mission Trip: Please keep Pastor Phillips and 3 of our YPD officers (Victoria Crenshaw, Terrace Welch, and Jaquilla Hunter) in prayer as they prepare to serve God and His people through the ministry of missions next week. • YPD Carwash: in preparation for attending Annual Conference, the YPD of Lewis Chapel will be having a carwash on Saturday, June 12, 2010 at 12 noon in the parking lot of Family Fare. If you plan to be in the Albion area at that time, stop by to see us.
To God be the glory for the marvelous things that He has done.
