Wednesday night was "packing night". 22 suitcases later, we have everything we need. We each have a personal suitcase, and the rest contain the supplies for our VBS, Operation Brown Bag, the teacher's lounge makeover project, and gifts. If the packing night was any indication, the team operates very efficiently when given a task. Those supply bags were packed quickly!
Currently, of our 15 member team, we have 13 ladies traveling to Ecuador bright and early in the morning. Last week we received news that Amy Russell is needed at home to care for her mother who is recovering from a heart attack a few weeks ago. We will definitely miss her and we are praying for her mom's full recovery.
We know that God is in control of all of the details of our trip, but we've listed a few ways you can pray for us as we depart tomorrow.
- Pray that our team will faithfully display to the world that Jesus was sent to reconcile us to the Father Who loves us. Tomorrow, our world will consist of bus drivers, ticket agents, flight attendants, passengers on planes, and customs agents... along with a lot of other people who will be watching.
- We fly from DFW to Miami to Quito. Pray for safe travel, connections to be made, and bags to arrive with us.
- Pray that Johanna is allowed to enter Ecuador. She is a citizen of Columbia and we've heard that there may be some difficulty there. We are trusting God. She is our only Spanish speaker and our Bible story leader.
- Pray for Jen and Amy, our two team members staying behind.
Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support. The next post will be from Quito!!!
