| by archiveworldraceblogs

It’s 10:39 am and I am sitting in the hotel waiting for the shuttle to airport.  At 4:30 this afternoon (sat) I fly from Minneapolis to Miami where the July squad reunites.  We spend the night in the airport and board a plane early sunday morning for Cancun.  Upon reaching Cancun, we have a 12 hour bus ride to Palenque, Mexico.  Please keep us all in your prayers: for travel safety and emotional support as many have just said thier final goodbyes to friends and family. I will let you know once we have arrived safely to Palenque.  (a picture of my dad, mom and me earlier this morning)

On another note, I want to share a special blessing with you.  One of my friends and supporters, Daphne, is hosting a benifit for me on Sun, July 13 at the Sami Center in Spirit Lake, IA.  I am continually blown away by all the hometown support and encouragement that has been an integral part in where I am today.  It does not go un-noticed.  So, if you are in the Lakes area that night – please go and check out Lester Rupp’s amazing photographs.  I’ve heard it’s a great program.  Below is the newspaper article discribing more specifics of the event.  Thanks again Daphne – You are a huge blessing!
Mission Benefit Event for Stephanie Fisk
Set for Sunday, July 13th
 
 Mission Benefit event for Stephanie Fisk is being planned 7 pm on Sunday, July 13 at Sami Center for the Performing Art, Spirit Lake. Evening features Lester Rupp, Christian Amateur Photographer, whose slides presentation includes part of his 300 bird species’ collection and his second trip to Canadian Arctic. Special Music provided by Jessica Schable and Selena Janzen. Refreshments following. As Stephanie begins her 2nd World Race Mission Venture on July 1st, this gathering serves to raise prayer and financial support on her behalf.

Stephanie Fisk of native Milford will be traveling as squad leader for mission team known as “World Race”–a journey across 11 countries in eleven months created by Adventures In Missions calls our youth to proximity of learning mission, building life together, and growing with self-discovery as a Christ-follower. After returning from her first World Race Jan-Nov, ’07, Stephanie had been mobilizing the churches through speaking engagement. In April, ’08, her bike trip was accompolished to voice injustice in an event called “Biking against Human Trafficking.”
 
In Stephanie’s blogs archive, she said, “By the end of my senior year, the Lord had taken my heart for a complete 180°. Medical school had morphed into international missions (granted it still excites me to use medicine in developing nations).” Calling herself “as an ambassador of Jesus Christ,” she confides in God and all becoming integral partners who support such a ministry as she stated in her latest newsletter: “Together we are His Body through which He chooses to usher in His Kingdom!” To follow the journey, you can read her blog at www.stephaniefisk.theworldrace.org.
 
Following his grandfather’s footstep in observing nature, Rupp has captured serene beauty of habitat since he bought the first camera in his junior high year. Lester loves the wilderness of “North”–northern MN, even farther to Canadian provinces. His slide presentation has been shown at various nursing homes and churches in MN & SD, also at some conservation, 4H, or school events. Served as a dedicated church historian at Bethel Mennonite Church, he resides in Mountain Lake, MN and is retired from working at local lumber yard in 2004.
