It's just 9 weeks until we leave! As our departure approaches, we are preparing as a team. We met again yesterday for a great meeting time of prayer. We prayed for ourselves, each other, and Hellenic Ministries. We ask that you please do the same. While we are all super excited for the outreach, there is a lot of stuff that needs to fall in to place for each of us, such as time off of work, that schedules will line up, that we are prepared spiritually and mentally for this outreach, that things at home are taken care of while we are gone, and that financial needs are met (just to name a few!). A big thank you to all of you that are supporting us with prayer and finances and are following along on this journey with us.
We are also asking for prayer for Hellenic Ministries, as it sounds like they are coming upon obstacles that are slowing down the planning process for Operation Joshua and making the logistical stuff that much harder. Please pray for smooth sailing as they prepare for our arrival in Greece.
And finally, here is our first team picture!
