The following is from a letter from Jeff Dietz concerning the trip to Guatemala. Please email the front desk with any questions (frontdesk@firstchurch.net). Thanks!
" Because of some of the confusion up front about when the trip was going to happen, whether it was going to be during CCA’s spring break or when everyone else was taking spring break, Ted [Fogwell] has had some difficulty in getting some of the medical personnel that would otherwise have been able to come. We also have a dilemma with flights in that we would have to be leaving on Friday [March] seventh or returning on the sixteenth or seventeenth which eats into the week prior or the following and makes it difficult for some of those who were interested in going. After talking with Ted a couple of Sundays ago, we determined that it would be better if we looked at going at a later date, possibly when another medical trip was already scheduled to go. So the medical part of the trip has definitely been postponed.
There are fifteen students from Dallas Christian College who are going to do a VBS with the school and there are ten people from CCA who are interested in working with the VBS as well and they will more than likely be going.
I have been putting out feelers with our people and the majority who had expressed interest in going were just that- interested but not committed, and it is down to crunch time in regards to flights. It seems as though those who were interested in going were mostly interested for the medical part of the trip, so we have decided to postpone the trip to a later date when we can go and do a medical mission.
If anyone is interested in going to help with the VBS portion I will be more than happy to put them in touch with the young lady who is leading the VBS portion of the trip from Dallas Christian College and I am sure they are welcome to go and join with them, but as for it being a trip for a large group from the church it will not be at this time.
Let me know if there are any further questions that I can help any one with.
Thanks
Jeff"
