A Look at the Cards

Here's a sneak peak at what I will be distributing shortly:

Postcard for the Philippines:














Business Card (I'm just soooo professional):








I still would like to make up a prayer card with my mug on it... but my creativity for the day has been drained. Yay to progess!

Most Recent Newsletter

I figured I might as well upload my most recent newsletter. Click on the thumbnail to get the full version. Also, since I uploaded a low resolution version it may be quite hard to read. I can email you a full version of my newsletter (in its full glory) if you send a request to my email: joelleexs@gmail.com.

Hope you enjoy!





Fall 2008 Edition:

Here is my first newlsetter up here just for kicks. whoopie pie. Time really does fly by.

The Cold Awesome Facts!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (continuing exclamation from my last post).

I am moving back home for the summer to attack force delta on my fundraising so I don't have too many thoughts I can put here. But here are the details:

Where: Manila, Philippines (joining with the Filipino navigators)
Who: Jason McNeillie (fellow EDGE corps), Jon Vickers ('09 UMass - just graduated), and 8 other students from around the nation.
When: June 15 - August 1
What: You will be ministering and serving kids and their families by teaching reading English, math and the bible. There are three groups - ages 7-9, 10-12 and 13 up. This will be three to four times of meetings. Leading Bible studies among the parents and high school students and also will be showing evangelistic movies and teaching livelihood skills. We can have at least three movie screening. Please bring the movies in CD or DVD.

Dog Days of Summer (a very cold summer though)

Now that school is over, I am into the next season of EDGE corps. That means fundraising! :|. It's a neutral face because though I know this was a great experience in light of trusting God, it is some hard work and speaks to my weaknesses (admin, finances, long-term projects). Please pray that this new journey will be an experiencing of God. I hope to be back on campus by August 25, but my budget has increased a few thousand dollars and I am going to this little trip called... the Philippines!!!!!! (read next post). When I get overwhelmed, it is easy for me to hoist the white flag of surrender. I know God is good. Thanks for your prayer!

A New Adventure

I feel like this past year has been sorely lacking in updates in terms of what I am doing. The goal is simple, to go wire-to-wire updating my blog and sending emails about this whole EDGE corps business. If I can write the final post on May 28, 2010... success!!!! Maybe see you there or sometime over the next post. One of the things I have found that really discourage me from writing blogs is writing super long posts. uggh. Hopefully it won't be so (discouragement and a regular diet of long posts).

Hasta banana!
