it's coming!

16 DAYS! We cannot believe how fast the days are going. As our departure draws nearer, we are realizing just how hard it is to plan out the details of our trip while finishing up our last projects, papers, and exams. From figuring out which foods all of us like to planning a vacation Bible school, we are discovering just how many things we have left to figure out. It's teaching us to trust God to work everything out though. We will likely not find out our exact placement until we go down there since they will put us where there is need at that time.

As always, we appreciate your prayers for our team and the people we will be in contact with in Jamaica. Here are some prayer requests.

*Praise God for the generous financial support of our family and friends. Pray that the support would keep coming in, as some of us have not reached our goals yet.

*Pray for our plans, especially the Vacation Bible School, as we are very unsure of what to expect with it.

*Praise God for technology that will allow us to stay in contact with everyone back home while we are gone.

*Pray for the hearts of those we will come in contact with on our trip and that God would be preparing them to hear His Word and see His love.

*Pray that all of us would be open to being used by God on the trip in whatever way that He wants to.
