Headed to China... help us pack!

 

Our mission trip this year is to China! We will be leaving this week for the summer. First, we head to Wisconsin for training camp (tent camping for a month), and then to China (for 5 weeks). Our team of students will be sharing Jesus and growing in their faith while running culture/language exchanges. We are very excited to see how God will move this summer... and yes, Alice is going with us!

Help us gear-up! Here are some items we need for this summer. If you'd like to bless us with any of these items, please email Rainer at rpowell@reignministries.org

We can get mail at training camp, starting June 2nd:

April 2014

We are loving our Alice! While we have quickly gotten back to our routine, somehow our camera and phones have been filling up so fast lately with our little girl!

"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is." 
Ephesians 3:18

It's a GIRL!

"We love because he first loved us."   1 John 4:19
All good things come from God. With the miracle of the birth of our daughter we now understand a small portion of the love God has for His children.

Welcome to our family, Alice Rebecca Powell. She was born at 1:37pm on Friday, March 7th in Clarksdale, MS. She was 7lbs 10oz and 20.5" long. It was instant unconditional love.

 

Our family

 

She is named after Lindsey's grandmother

Alice Mitchell who lives in Chattanooga...

 

...and Rainer's late grandmother,

Rebecca Powell...

 

...and her mommy Lindsey Rebecca Powell.

 

Tired baby
