This morning the first two teams left on outreach - Thailand and Haiti. We all dragged ourselves out of bed at 4 in the morning and hugged our friends with teary eyes. They are going out into the world and God is about to use them in incredible ways. This week has been one of equipping, commissioning and quality time spent with one another. It's so hard to see these people go who I have come to love and spend most of my days with. God has orchestrated the teams in a perfect way. I can't imagine having to say goodbye for two months to the people on my Brazil team. It's amazing how He works things out. Our plane leaves for Brazil on Wednesday morning and we will be there by Thursday. It will be a long day with a 12 hour layover and 3 flights. Once we get to Porto Velho, we will stay at the ywam base for a week for an orientation before venturing out in the jungle. Our contact lives on the Amazon River in a house with no running water or electricity. We will be building him a new bathroom while we are there, as well as going out by boat to the Riverside villages to do ministry. The boat ride out to his house could take up to three days, we don't know for sure how long. What an adventure! We will go to Rio de Janeiro at the end of December and spend the rest of our time there. We have dramas planned, soccer ministry will most likely happen and the love of Jesus will be shown. I cannot wait!
Please pray for the safety of our team, good health, unity with one another and boldness to show the love of Jesus to everyone around us. I appreciate all of your prayers!
