It's a Break!

Hey all,

We are currently still fundraising and while that may seem so daunting at times, I have faith the Lord is going to provide. If you are reading this please pray for us today that we would be encouraged and trust in the providence of our Savior. It is a blessing to have our team together and to come together no longer as just a melting pot of individuals but as a family who desires to glorify the Lord. Personally, it is incredible to see each person's heart in this adventure. Steven is a terrific co-leader who longs to inspire the teammates just as he was once inspired when he went to Uganda. We both have seen the effects of going on missions trips on our lives. He is truly responsible and proactive when it comes to getting things done. A born leader, his heart longs to lead others in loving the Lord deeply. It is awesome to see how different we are yet, able to work well together because of that. Adam led SMU's summer 08 Panama trip and I am looking forward to his advice as well as his humor and love of fostering relationships with people. He is a talented musician who, with Amanda, will be leading worship. Amanda is such a caring girl. I already see how the Lord is using her to bring unity and humility to our team. She is flexible and understanding in all circumstances. Jocy has such a love of culture and of the Lord that I constantly am amazed. She is the editor of the Spainish paper at Biola and that is just one example of her determination. Mckenna is a sweetheart who's joyfulness and tender spirit instantly draw people in. She blesses us with easy laughter and a steady reliance on the Lord. Sarah is so awesome! Her love for the Lord and personal preserverance astonish me everytime we talk. Her intelligence is to be applauded yet, she demonstrates grace in all things. Our team is made up of some of the most wonderful people I know and it is going to be beautiful to see them all grow.

I am so thanful for the Lord's goodness. Happy Thanksgiving.

In Him,
Liz
