Pre-Trip Challenges

Three more sleeps and four more days until this fantastic team of eight go leave for our adventure. I think I speak for the rest of the team when I say how excited we all are to finally go after months of planning.

This past week has been extremely tough on our team. It seems like the devil is attacking each individual member in a variety of ways to discourage us, we even got kicked out of our church for Sunday morning service because of some construction in the basement. We ended up having our final commissioning service in a small chapel next door in a senior's lodge. A change that in my opinion, made our final Sunday before we left incredibly powerful and one to remember. It amazes me to look at everything that is going on in our teams lives right now and see that instead of being discouraged and distracted from our main focus, we instead have bonded together in love and in fellowship, all looking forward with excitement and anticipation at the amazing things God has planned for us. I know we are going to do incredible things in Bolivia because if we weren't, then the devil would not have to try so hard to give us reasons not to go.

So as we draw nearer to our departure date please pray for strength and for peace, pray for our families and the things we cannot control, praise God for calling such an encouraging, compassionate, and loving team together, and remember that with Him, all things are possible.

Much love to all of you.
