Preparation

On February 20, one week from now, we will be on a plane flying to a different country where we will be immersed in a different culture than we are used to. We will help build a school while trying to learn from the locals about their way of life. While we work we will show God’s love to those we talk to and work with.

During the next week as we prepare to leave, we focus on the following Bible passage:

1May God be gracious to us and bless us and make His face shine upon us… 7God will bless us and all the ends of the earth will fear him.  - Psalm 67:1, 7

We don’t know what this trip will bring, but we know that with God on our side amazing things will happen. We ask that you pray for us as we prepare and while we are on our trip. We look forward to sharing our stories with you through this blog while we are away and when we get back.
