Preparations!

Our team from IL left last Friday.  They were such an awesome team and we really enjoyed having them!  We continue to pray that the Lord will seal all that He did in their hearts and lives.

This week we have been preparing for our next team.  A team from Lifegate (our church in Omaha) arrives on Saturday.  They will be doing a 3-day 24-hour prayer and worship time beginning on Sunday afternoon.  We are trying to get as much of the 3-day time organized before they come since they will jump right in on Sunday.  We have been praying about this team since before we left the States.  The details have changed as well as the vision.  We have felt that the Lord wants us to reach out to the youth in our area.  We will begin with sets in Spanish and a combination of Spanish and English with the hopes that many of the youth will come.

 

We are anticipating that the team will not get much sleep over the 3 days so we are planning a late breakfast on Thursday. We also would like to take them for a hike up the canal. 

In preparation for that hike, we took a trip up the canal today.

 

 

We took a few backpacks filled with food.  Then we spent some time praying for the team surrounded by the rushing water.

 

Then the kids (and Don) did some hiking on the rocks!

The good news is that we took 5 kids with us . . .

 

. . . and we brought all 5 home with us! 

 

Unfortunately, one of the 5 fell into the water twice with his ipod in his pocket!!

 

We are super excited for the team to come!  We will continue to pray for their preparations as well as ours! And for all that the Lord is going to do while they are here!  Stay tuned . . .
