The TEAM:)
We leave for Northern Ireland 5 weeks from today!! Thank you Thank you Thank you for those of you that have already sent in your support! We appreciate it so much:) Your prayers and your financial support mean so much to us, and we are excited to see how God will continue to provide for our team in these coming weeks. We still need a significant amount of support, however, so keep praying for the money to come in...This is such a good exercise in learning to trust God, but honestly, it also presents an opportunity for us to be concerned--as it still seems like such a huge hurdle to overcome and time is flying by...
Some more details about the trip: Jason and I have the exciting opportunity to be in charge of the children's ministries while we are in N. Ireland---we are implementing Children Desiring God curriculum-from Bethlehem- and are in charge of finding teachers (we will do much of it ourselves) and supplementing the lessons with activities--pray that this lesson-planning time will be fruitful and that we will, by God's grace, chose the lessons that he would have us choose so that His truth might be communicated in the most effective way for the N. Irish children-Catholic and Protestant alike. The team is really coming together, and I already feel so blessed by the spiritual maturity and passion on our team---several of them are seasoned missionaries, so they add such depth and wisdom to the group. Jason and I fill the age-gap--between high-schoolers and their parents, but we are glad to be in the middle because we know that God can and will use people of all ages for His purposes:) I'll keep you posted on the support situation...
