I am overwhelmed to say the least. The Lord has given me a serious reality check in the past two weeks. At the beginning of this month I was at 25% of my financial goal and had almost nothing figured out as far as planning for this trip to Ethiopia goes. I was at a point where literally the only thing I could do was say, "Lord, this isn't going to happen unless you make it happen. I trust You." Putting my trust COMPLETELY in the Lord for this trip wasn't the easiest thing to do because I am a definite "do it myself" person, but I definitely needed to realize that I, myself, wasn't going to make this trip happen. And I sit here today at 95% of my financial goal with everything figured out as far as packing and logistics of the trip go. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!
Thank you SO much for all of your support; financially and prayerfully. I feel so blessed to have you guys in my life and as a part of my support team. You have no idea how much it means to me. I really couldn't have done this without you.
I leave for Dallas on Friday and we have a project "briefing" on Saturday. Our team leaves for Ethiopia on Sunday!
Things to pray for:
-The Ethiopians that we will meet - that their hearts will be open to the Gospel and ready to accept Christ.
-Our team - unity and focus on our mission - Christ.
-Opportunities to share Christ
I'll update you from Addis! :)
