Time to travel

Expedition time has finally arrived! My emotions over the past two weeks have ranged from nervousness to anticipation, from flat out fear (fear of the unknown, fear of failing or embarrassing myself and my family, etc) and now to great excitement. The jitters have now passed, and I am just looking forward to what the Father will do on this trip! Rachel and I are praying for open eyes and hearts to see the opportunities that He puts before us. We are so appreciative of the chance to go and visit workers and experience another culture - to go and intercede for people that He loves deeply and wants to redeem. Would you join us in praying for light in the darkness, for soft hearts and open eyes? Prayer is so powerful! Rachel and I would like to send a shout-out to our BFF Kim Campbell! Kim surprised us with a special parcel before we left home - all the little necessities we would need on our trip! Kim - you rock! Also, Agent P will be accompanying us on the expedition. His Bond-like skills should come in handy should we cross paths with any Iraqi Doofenschmirtzes. Plus, he looks cool in photos. Shout out to Slyrad Yemmus for general purposes. I will share a couple of scriptures for the day, very appropriate as we embark on this adventure. 1 John 4:16 - We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. Hebrews 13:6 - So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
