6 days from today I will physically begin this adventure. (It has already begun spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.) I cannot wait. I have faith that God is going to do great things through this trip.
We have completed the curriculum that we will be using for our women’s Bible study. It is similar to the “Essentials” Bible study that I led through Grace Bible Church this past year. The study we have written is 6 lessons that focus on different Bible doctrines that are key to our faith.
I cannot say THANK YOU enough for your prayers, encouragement, and donations. All of my funds have come in and people still continue to make donations daily for Bibles and other needs we will see. I am blown away by the generosity I have encountered.
I have thought a lot about I Corinthians 12 this week. God has given us all different gifts so that we can all be a part of His perfect plan. He has called each of us to pray, send and go. Right now, I am going and you are sending (and we are all praying!). I can honestly say that all of you are as much a part of this trip as I am.
Speaking of prayer, I want to challenge you (and myself). Many of you, especially former team members, will remember this from past trips. Whenever you see the oh-so-familiar Starbucks symbol, let that be a reminder for you to pray for our trip.

More specifically,
-Pray for the last minute preparations during the next 6 days
-Pray for peace for our families and friends who we are leaving
-Pray for safety in our travels (for us and our luggage!) and throughout our trip
-Pray that God would begin His work now, preparing the fields that we will be working in
-Pray that while we are there, our time would be used effectively and we would make the most of every opportunity
-Pray that we will give God ALL the glory of this trip
(again, I cannot say thank you enough.) I love you all dearly.
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body.
