As our team of 26 souls busily
Purchases postponed particulars,
Launders last minute loads of laundry,
Packs clothes and clown costumes, sunscreen and snacks,
Sits on suitcases,
Farewells family and friends...
Would you ask the Lord:
- to grant them sweet sleep tonight (and wisdom to get to bed on time...!) despite excitement and nerves on this night before their departure? A few in our number have never flown...or were so young when they last flew that they do not remember flying.
- for grace for nervous parents as they let their young people go...that they'll be able to rest and fully trust in the Lord to meet all their kiddos' needs.
- for safety and help in making plane connections in Houston?
- to get all of our luggage to Managua on the same...we are taking MANY extra boxes and bags of supplies for our children's festival that will take place THIS WEEKEND...so lost luggage would mean HUGE changes in plans.
- to draw close the Benitez family, our hosts in Nicaragua...giving them foresight and wisdom for the next days as they direct our team? Would you pray for peace in their hearts & minds and for provision for all of their needs?
We are meeting at Eppley Airfield at 11:30 am tomorrow to begin the first leg of our journey and we can't wait!!! We'll be in touch as soon as we can to tell you about the first adventures on our trek to Nicaragua!
