To our famiy and friends,   Hey everybody!  We hope and pray that you are all doing well!  We wanted to take just a couple minutes of your time and share with you an exciting opportunity coming up for Katie and I to impact the lives of others, and to ask you to consider how you might be able to partner with us.   As many of you already know, for the past few years Katie and I have been actively involved in ministry at Ni River Community Church.  We have been blessed to be a part of the incredible ways the Lord is using this church that we have grown to call our home to love and care for our community.  Whether it is through our weekly ministry with the youth, or through other outreach activities, Katie and I have been caused to stretch and grow in countless ways, and have been amazed and blessed, time and time again.   Recently, we had the opportunity to partner with our church and an organization called Team Effort to take our students on a mission trip into Washington, D.C.  Our experience in the poverty-stricken areas of D.C. was eye-opening and life changing for us as well as for our students.  It is through the relationships our church has built with organizations around the United States that we have been able to expand our ministry outside of our local community.  Now, we have the amazing opportunity to serve and show the love of Christ internationally.  We would like to share a little bit about where we are going, and let you know two ways you can be involved.   In April, we will be heading to Peru.  Previously, Ni River has spent many years partnering with a ministry called "Esperanza de Ana" in Chilca, Peru.  Our church helped to establish a ministry for children from impoverished families that partners with the parents to feed and educate the children while also giving them a firm Biblical foundation.  Now our church has the opportunity to begin a new ministry in another Peruvian community north of Lima.  We will be holding a Vacation Bible School for the local children, helping with long-needed construction work, and laying the foundation for a future ministry in the area.     There are a couple of ways you can be involved and support us.   First of all,  you can commit to pray for us.  We are in need of prayers for safety as we travel internationally to parts of the world that are struggling.  You can also pray that God would provide everything we need to make these trips possible, as well as allowing us the opportunity to share Christ while we are there.   We also need financial support.  Katie and I need to raise a total of $4000 dollars to fund our part in this ministry, and as I'm sure you know, that is no small amount for a young, newly-married couple.  Luke 8:16 says "No one, after lighting a lamp, covers it with a basket or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in may see it's light."  This is why we spend countless hours volunteering our time, efforts, and resources to the ministry efforts we are involved in; because we have been given the gift of salvation through Christ, and that is a gift we can't help but share.  Any support in this effort through prayer and finances are greatly appreciated.   Will you consider blessing us as we answer our God's calling in Matthew 28:19 to bring the life changing good news of Christ to a broken and hurting world?  Thank you in advance for your support!   With love, Bob and Katie Bock
