Dear Co-Labors:

We will give you a brief last minute update before our departure to New Zealand. Our flight is booked for Sept. 3, 2005.

Before departing allow me to make the following requests.

1. Pray for our health, we are both approaching mid-70s.
2. Pray that the Lord will use us on the field.
3. Pray for my grandson-in-law and my grand daughter and family (Brian and Melody Densmore and two boys) that they can raise their support and join us in New Zealand.
4. Pray that each of our supporting churches will make a one-time special gift of any amount as the Lord makes them able to offset the expenses of our going.

For more than 30 years it has been my policy to make known our financial needs while stateside. Financial request from the field will be made only under extreme circumstance.

If the Lord makes you able to help with these expenses we would be most grateful.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support. The Lord has met our needs for these ministries for the past 37 years. Your prayers and gifts have been a great part of His meeting those needs.

We are His for service,

Shelby & Stella Mayo
