Quick Update

The reason I post those thermometers is so that I can copy and paste them into a word document and, in turn, print them off for my two Beijing Boards I keep at CMA and NBCC churches. I use my blog to translate the html code from the website where it comes from.

Im currently in a hurry so I will update more very soon. I got back from IV retreat last night and it was a blast. I look foward to telling you about it very very soon!

Hello!

If you are new to my blog, please make sure to visit older posts. If you are interested in donating to my trip, please scroll down a few posts for info on how to.

As you can see by the previous post, I am halfway to my goal! However, time is running out and I still have $2100 left to raise. If youre going to donate, please do it soon!

I am getting very excited as the time draws closer. I am still finishing up this semester with two finals tomorrow. Please pray for me!

One final update: On Monday May 18th I will be heading to Detroit Lakes, MN for a leadership retreat with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. I will be spending Monday through Friday there with my friends Joel and Amos, both of whom I will be working with at IVCF this fall at UWS. I am looking forward to this retreat! Praise God for IVCF for paying for me to go!!

In Christ,
Jeremy Barden

BEIJING

Hello!

I want to update everyone on my donation status. I have so far received $1158.00!
I am excited to see the donations coming in. This amount is only from a handful of people so I am really believing that God will meet the goal very soon.

My online account is not updated every day. I check it every day anyways! Please continue to pray. Know that you can give more than once as well!

My time at CMA last Sunday went very well! I felt well received. It was an emotional time for me as CMA is the church I grew up in and I am still very close to many of the people who attend there. They even let me join their worship team that Sunday! It was great to play the drums with Eric, Betsy, Matt, and Pastor Darrell. I really enjoyed the time there and I want to thank everyone for the opportunity to talk!

For anyone from North Bay who is reading this: Please make sure to visit my "Beijing Board" which will be up in the sanctuary this week, from now until I return from Beijing. Just look for a display board near the front of the room.

Thank you for reading and may God bless your life today and this week!
Love
Jeremy
