Taking off

Posted: January 9, 2017/Under: Adventure God has us on/By: Emily

We will be heading out tomorrow. And about 24ish hours later we will go from snow to 80 degree weather–halfway across the world–Lord willing! It's hard to believe this day has come. There has been much prayer and anticipation! We're excited to see what God has in store. Thank you for praying for our family. We know God hears and answers. Here are a few updated prayer requests for our travels.

Unity for our family. That we will not only stay together physically, but also be on the same page logistically and spiritually. That we would not let Satan divide us in any way.
Protection, flexibility, and just mercy in general in regards to all the travel details. And that all our luggage gets there!
Open eyes and hearts to be able to see when opportunities come our way to specifically share the love of Christ with someone, even when we feel exhausted or frustrated for one reason or another.
And lastly, rest and quick recovery from jet lag 🙂

Thank you again so much for praying. May God bless you. We look forward to sending an update from Tenwek very soon! As our son, Luke prayed tonight…”May we serve God all the way!”
