Meeting called to order by Tim Chamberlain. Glenn Newcomer opened in prayer.

• Della Robinson gave a report on faculty and school: “all seems to be fine and everyone is getting ready for SATs”.

• Rob Tryon reported that the Easter candy will be coming in March 10^th.

• The Large Rummage Sale and Chicken Barbecue will be May 17^th.

• Playground workday will be April 26^th.

Mark Walker spoke to those in attendance about Jamaica and the orphanage there. He told us about the difference between a government run orphanage and a private orphanage run by Mrs. Michelle Robinette called “Robin’s Nest”. He shared the purpose of the Mission Team going to Jamaica is to give the children in the orphanage opportunities that they don’t usually get. The team will minister with bible stories, swimming and playing with the children. The men will do light construction, painting and lawn work.

Greg Andrews, a Junior, testified that he wants to go to help Mr. Newcomer. He said he knows God will work in his life.

Brianna Harris, a Senior, will be taking her first missions trip. She is excited because she wants to spend her life in mission work. God will work in her life and the life of others by going.

Luke Walker, an 8^th grader, told us how God called him to go on this, his 4^th trip to Jamaica.

Mark told us Michelle Robinette’s testimony. She grew up on the streets. She never knew her father and her mother was “crazy”. She learned to trust God as her father and Savior. Now she ministers to children (up to 30 at a time) who need to learn this same truth.

There was question and answer time.

Meeting adjourned at 8:20pm

Respectfully submitted,

Della Robinson, Acting Secretary
