1/2 day!

Wow! I can't believe we will be meeting in just 12 hours to begin our journey to Ciudad Victoria, Mexico!! I am so excited to see what God is going to do in this city over the next 10 days.

I am so proud of our team and the way they have grown over the last four months. As we leave for this missions trip, I believe they are all excited to minister the good news of Jesus Christ to the world.

As we travel tomorrow, please pray for safety, an easy time crossing the border, and energy!

I would like to thank everyone so much for their support both financially and through prayer. It has truly been a blessing to us as a team. We will be sure to update this blog regularly so please check back in for updates!

But for now, it's time for a 4th of July party! Make your own kabob's!! :)

Blessings!!

I am so excited to begin my first missions trip! I can't wait to see what God will do during this trip. Usually after trips, I will end up saying that half the fun was going there, but I hope that this trip I'll say that all the fun was being there!

12 hours to liftoff! I am amazed already at what God has done to grow, mold, and teach me--I feel like the trip has already started! Since last Saturday, we have all been doing a daily journal/devotional designed specifically for 10-day missions trips. God has used it to center me and bring my focus toward his will and Ciudad Victoria, Mexico. I feel ready and am so excited! He has shown himself faithful in so many specific ways during our preparation for this trip to remind us over and over that his hand is behind it. Pray for us as we go!

Hey - To all I know and love on this trip - I've been praying for you all day and from your Mommy, aubrey, they you arrived on the ground. She is doing fine today. I am praying for a restful weekend as you get ready for what the Lord has for you this week. Be assured of our constant prayers on your behalf -that your efforts will bring glory to Him, that you will have unity as a team, and that you will all stay healthy and safe. The good doctor with you does NOT need to get sick and loose any weight! Blessings on your ministry!
