toys are welcome, too. If you can help with this project,

Hello
North Side!
Greetings from Afghanistan.
I
hope this e-mail finds everybody doing well. Things
are going as well as can be expected in Afghanistan.
The food is good, the people are great, and I couldn't
imagine a better mission to be doing. We have been
able to help countless numbers of people out here.
Unfortunately we have lost a number of friends also.
From here at Tombstone we have lost 2 British soldiers
and 10 Afghan Soldiers. Yesterday our Sergeant Major
was seriously injured by an IED, but thanks be to
God that he will survive. Please keep their families
in your prayers.
The toys you have sent have gone to some great kids.
I attached a picture of some of them in the nearby
town of Gershek. This is a very poor country and
most families have very little. However, God has
done some wonderful things for these people. Their
outlook on life is incredible and they are so proud
of their new found freedoms.
Thank you so much for your kind cards, especially
from the kids. It really goes a long way to lifting
up spirits. It's very uplifting knowing that there
are those at home whose prayers constantly go with
me. You are always in my prayers and thoughts.
In Christ, Jason (Bowden)

Parents interested in scheduling a monthly

If you would be willing to watch kids
during that time, let him know that as well.
Also, if you have a highchair that you
