We gathered together as a TEAM to discuss things that we have been anxious about and what we were excited about for our trip. We prayed for eachother, we prayed for the people we would be meeting and helping and we prayed for our loved ones that we would be leaving behind while we are away.
It was a great time of team building and sharing and a time to realize that we are in God's hands, that God is in control and that we are able to cast all our burdens on Him and He promises to never leave us. What a blessing, what an Awesome God we serve:)
We also drew the names of the winners of the cottage vacation. Congratulations to our winners!! Thank you so much to Karl and Wilma for donating their cottage as a fundraiser for our TEAM. Enjoy your vacation this summer and fall, how exciting for you!
We have one more meeting before we leave, the time is getting closer and we are looking forward to our time in Belize. Many things to take care of at home, our businesses, and our committees before we leave, but we pray that we can also feel the peace of Christ, the peace that passes all understanding and that we can cast our cares on Him.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, the the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
