Today I met with Michelle Madsen-Bibeau and Ellen Jones in West Hartford. We are three members of the Missionary Partnership team for Mercy and Rick Barnes. We called Rick and Mercy to celebrate the fact that they had achieved 111% of their fund raising goal this year. Of course that also meant that it is now time to begin reaching out for their support for 2010 and beyond. We had a great conference call and heard about some of the new ministries that they are engaged in.
During the call we also got an update about their daughter Aida and her reports from the University of Virginia. She is a freshman there and enjoying life very much. She's made friends and today is working to help people get out to the polls. Rick and Mercy were also very excited that a group from California was coming out to paint their house this weekend. The group wanted to find a way to say "thank you" to the Barnes for all they do.
While on the line we also caught up with Mercy's sister Wanda, who is also part of our MPT. She has a new web site up and running that tells about their ministry. You can find it on the web at www.barnesbajamexico.org.
We also gave Rick and Mercy the dates that our team from Norwich was planning to be with them. It will be the week of February 23rd. I told Rick we would give them more information after our team meeting tomorrow night.
