Well, I have survived another training camp. It was is WAY better on the flip side. I’ve decided that being a leader is probably the best thing ever. It probably has a lot to do with the great staff that I have been able to work along side this week, but also the HUGE blessing that God has given me by my INCREDIBLE team. From different stuff, God has made our team a small one. I am co-leading with my friend Matt and we have three participants: Ansley, Trevor, and Emily. They are perfect for the job that God has called us to. The love the Lord and are sooo ready to step out in God’s promises.
Up until now I didn’t really know what to expect with our trip coming up. To be honest I am still not exactly sure what to expect because we are the first AIM team to be sent to Cebu City. With that there is great excitement, but also a little bit of pressure for us. But thankfully, our team has bonded quickly, built incredible trust with each other, and are excited to rise to the challenge. We do know that we are working along side a missionary couple. Their names are Reuban and Sharon. They are the cutest couple I have ever seen…from their picture. We also know that we will be doing a lot of ministry in a couple different slums, on of which is built in a grave yard, going into elementary schools to preach the Gospel, and lots of Childrens ministry. I’m really pumped for this trip. It took a few days for me to get my head in the game, but now that I’m all here I can’t wait.
I have been praying intensely for the spiritual protection of our team. I KNOW that God has some HUGE things for this team. I dont think I could put the feeling that I have into words. So I have been spending a LOT of time bathing our team in prayer that God would go before us in our journey. I really would like to ask that you really pray for our team. We are going blind into this, but know that God has it all worked out. We are going to see and do things that will be VERY uncomfortable, but God is good, and we are sooo excited to be apart of His story.
I will try and be on here to update as much as I can, but we also have a team blog for this trip that you can check out at : http://08pp0626amb1.myadventures.org/
Keep praying:)
