Greetings all!
Tomorrow is a very busy day for the CR2010 team. At 9:00 am Saturday morning a prayer breakfast will be held at Spruce Grove Alliance Church, where a few prayer supporters of each member of the team will attend, and spend time praying for the team and all aspects of the trip. As I said in our last post, prayer is what the entire trip hinges on... And what more can one ask for - good food and prayer time together!
Immediately following the prayer breakfast, we will begin to pack the ministry bags - luggage that is packed with all items that are not personal items - tools, VBS supplies, sleeping bags, pillows, first aid, plus many items I have no clue of. :-) It is always interesting to see how creative we can be to get as much as possible into one bag, while keeping it under the 50 lb. weight limit and keeping track of what each bag contains. A super thank-you to all of those who plan this out so well! Once the bags are packed, we will then be storing them for the week until we leave on Saturday morning. Yikes! That is one week away. Oh and did I mention we need to be at the airport at 3:00 am on Saturday? Sounds like lots of fun!
This weekend is also the commissioning weekend for the CR2010 team. All three services, including Saturday will have the entire team present for the commissioning. This weekend we will also be handing out prayer bracelets to those who would like to commit to praying for us while we are gone.
As we near the date of our departure, please pray for each individual on the team. The stress of preparing for the trip, the heightened sense of the unknown, and the pressure of getting all the last minute items taken care of can cloud our focus. The enemy will use any means that he can to run us off our track, so please pray for the team to focus, and that we would be protected from the evil one. Also pray that all of the last minute details and arrangements would come together quickly.
On behalf of the Costa Rica 2010 team, I want to sincerely thank-you for all of your support. It is amazing to see how a large group of people across a broad age range and mixed backgrounds can come together with a common goal to serve. We love our brothers and sisters in Costa Rica, and we so look forward to meeting with old friends, and making new acquaintances, all with the focus of being the hands and feet of Jesus in Costa Rica.
