4.5 hours to go.

well, it's 11pm, the day before the team packs up. i have done everything i can possibly do to make sure this team is ready.

all forms are filled out and filed.

the van is packed.

the bus is there.

it's all ready to go.

my prayers are with the team as they travel almost 2500 km's south to ensenada, and as they give of their time in a church called 'casa hogar,' and as they grow in each other, as well as in God. i pray for fred and his leadership, that everyone may instinctively follow him. i pray for the rest of the leaders that they might be able to follow God's voice. i pray for the youth on the team that they might be able to experience life in a way that they've never been able to before. i pray for the team as one unit that they might be cohesive, that they might be effective, and that they might spread the name of Christ to His nations.

now, i hand over all things leadership to fred.

as well, i thank him from the bottom of my heart for taking this challenge on, for jumping in with both feet, while i remain home, awaiting the birth of our first child. fred - i could not have found anyone else better to lead this team.

to the team i say: God Bless!

to the people at home i say: keep praying. keep coming back here for updates.
