I guess you could say that one of the great joys of working with Cross Connection Outreach and the Talking Bible project is the array of things we do to touch God's people.
We had the awesome and yet exhausting privledge of going to LA to the Fashion Distrist and purchase over 300 sets of clothing for the children of Mozambique. Running from store to store praying and asking God for favor that the prices would be in our budget or even lower was faith. Then the thrill of seeing Gods work made our hearts beat with great excitement and then when HE shows us exactly where we need to be, its like finding a diamond in the rough.
Now I know that 300 outfits may sound like alot of clothes and yes my friends they were heavy, however 300 outfits would only clothe one and half villages, I was SUPER shocked when Crystal who is one of the founders of CCO told me this! Picking out darling pink and blue and green dresses for the girls melted my heart knowing that a little girl would recieve perhaps the first new dress of her little life! Then on to the boys up to size 14/16! How amazing it is to give a new set of clothes to a young man... his first sports shirt and a pair of shorts or pants and see the happiness in their eyes! How do YOU or I feel when we are sporting something NEW?
We also looked for the best deal on panty's for the children. Panty's for Africa is something that was such a need, CCO saw the need and have added that to the array of things they do for the children.. more on that story later.
Our ultimate goal is to get the Gospel into the hands of the Illiterate and we are doing that with the Talking Bible Project, people are hearing the word and getting saved and that is the passion behind the things we are doing with CCO.
Well, as you can see our hearts our moved for the things that move HIS heart. I am so blessed and honored to be part of this work. I would never have known the wonderful things that the Lord had for me... if I did not allow myself to freefall into HIS calling for the next steps of my journey.
"Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your OWN understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge HIM and HE will make your path straight" Proverbs 3:5-6

The Journey Continues
God is doing amazing things! Thanks to all of you who have begun to support us on this new journey that God has called us to. We are at 20% giving now and we are expecting God to meet all our needs. When God guides, God provides!
Great things are happening here at Cross Connection Outreach and I am so blessed to be part of something that is so big and so out of my control.
We are preparing teams for Mozambique to be sent out over the summer, they will be carrying the precious cargo, The Talking Bibles! We are excited for the teams that are going and look forward to awesome reports as to what the Lord will do through each of them.
I will be a team leader in 2011 going back to Africa joining the team on that side getting the Talking Bibles into the villages.
CCO is working on another recording and this Talking Bible is really a fire that is catching on in the Nations and people who would never have a chance at salvation are being saved. I continue to make connections with different churches and organizations and doing fundraising for CCO and will work the field over the summer while some of the team is back in Africa.
I would love to come and share the vision with your church or youth group or small group or homeschooling group! There is alot of work to do for the Kingdom and we each have a part to do! The journey continues... lets link shields and get this thing done! Much love Pastor Gayelee

Africa- Missionary Pastor - Need your Help!
Dear Friends and Family
We are living in EXCITING times and the fields are ripe almost white for harvest.
I am writing this blog to ask you for help. As some of you may know, I have been the Youth Pastor in Carlsbad for 10 years and have just resigned my my position. Billy and I began to feel the Lord leading us towards missions.
We now have the opportunity to come alongside Cross Connection Outreach. CCO has expanded and is now taking the Talking Bibles to five new countries! This has created a need for more administrative help, organizations of teams, fundraising and awareness. CCO does not allocate funds from donor's for administration. As a growing organization, there is enormous need for a stateside missionary, to which I feel called. My experience as a Pastor has equipped me for all the tasks at hand and the timing seems perfect.
How can you help? Glad you asked! AS a Missionary Pastor I will need to raise my own monthly support. I am asking that each of would consider supporting me on a monthly basis for the next 24 months at $25-50. We are excited about this new opportunity. It's not just and opportunity for our family, but it is and opportunity for you as a friend of God to spread the Gospel to the Illiterate people. Can you imagine how your life might be if you could not read?
My goal and passion is for lost souls. I pray that you would read this and respond. We have work to do for the Lord is coming back soon. Wont you please help.
Going about my Father's Business,
Pastor Gayelee Reynolds
