It's Almost Here

Well, we are now very close to our trip to Santa Cruz (less than three weeks!). Yesterday evening, our team gathered to go over some last minute details, eat homemade ice cream, and spend time in prayer for our trip. As the day for our departure comes closer and closer, there is a sense of nervousness and excitement.

I am excited to see what God will do. I know that He knew about this trip before we were even born and that even now, He is working to bring about his purposes to the glory of His name. I cannot wait to see how God will work in both the hearts of the people where we will be minister and in the hearts of our team, Pastor Mario, and the Campus Crusade staff and volunteers.
However, I am also nervous as there are so many details, last minute checks, and plans to nail down. Now is also the time where you can begin to doubt yourself, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is a helpful reminder for us to realize that we do not go alone, but Christ has given us a helper, the Holy Spirit.

Some prayer requests:

• Pray for our team and pray for the hearts of the people in Montero.
• Pray for Pastor Mario and the Campus Crusade staff
• Pray for our last minute odds and ends (Packing, vaccines, etc.)
