If your heart resonates with what we are doing, we would love to have you as a part of our team! This is very much a team effort. We might be the ones going to Bolivia but we could not go without being sent. I often her comments on the sacrifice we are making by going but this would not be possible without a team of people willing to sacrifice their time, resources, and money to help us go!
Here are some ways you can be a part of our team:
Financial:
This is generally the area most people think of when supporting a missionary and it is a huge area of need.
Monthly Support
This is our biggest financial need. We need people who are willing to invest in the ministry on a monthly basis to sustain our monthly income, insurance costs, administrative expenses, ministry expenses, and other ongoing costs. Since we are going to Bolivia for the long haul, we need to make sure we have a consistent flow of support.
One Time Gifts:
While monthly support is our main goal right now, one time gifts are also a huge help. They generally go towards one time expenses such as setting up life in Bolivia, visas, immunizations, a vehicle, etc.
If you are able to partner with us financially you can find information on giving HERE
Prayer:
We need prayer warriors behind us. Right now the biggest areas of prayer are for our family as we make this major transition. The kids sense the upheaval it there will be big adjustments down the road.
Staying Connected:
Living a continent away can make use feel a bit disconnected. We would love to hear from you be it a Facebook note, an e-mail, or even some snail mail, it is always encouraging to hear from friends and family from past homes.
Any snail mail can be sent to:
Casillo 2010
Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
South America
*IMPORTANT* Anything
sent should fit in something no bigger than a padded envelope. Boxes usually do not make it unless under 4 lbs. They can take a month or two to arrive.
Bridging the gap:
Helping us stay connected and engaged with your church. Churches change a lot over the years and it can be easy for their missionaries to feel more like an abstract concept. If you are so gifted we would love to have people be our ambassadors to our sending churches. Letting us know if you need more materials like prayer cards, representing us during your missions conference, or setting up a Skype time with with your small group or Sunday School class are great ways to help use stay connected.
