10 days.... and Happy Birthday America!

First, I want to say.... Happy Birthday America! :) Hope you all had a great day off work, if you had that privilege ;)
Second, TEN days until we head to Africa! And NINE until we go to D.C!

Now I feel it is necessary to ramble on about missions. :)
I know I have started this blog fairly early before the actual trip but, my purpose for that is to prepare not only myself but to all of you who want to be in the know.

On my mind today has been missions. 
We are the children of God and it is our duty to be missionaries. Not just to places such as, Africa or Cambodia. But we are to be missionaries where ever God has placed us. (On a side note, We should give a special thanks, in prayer and offering to those who go over to places around the world and serve for the purpose of God. They give up their comfortable homes and jobs in America and give themselves to God's work in places that are out of their comfort zone!)

What the AYC is prepared to do is so important! Yes, it is fun. Yes, its a great experience. And yes, we will be changed forever.
But most of all, its all about souls. Its our purpose on this planet. To worship God with all our heart and mind and strength and to show others the way of truth! 
Please help us pray for this trip.
Pray for not only safety and health but, pray that we will be guided by the hand of God, to obey is words, to be willing vessels and to let him speak through us. 

One thing I have noticed about the young people selected for this trip, they are dedicated.
They have been fasting and praying continuously. I expect great things from this trip because of this group of extraordinary people and their dedication to the Lord. 

Thanks everyone for your support to all of us!  Keep praying and fasting!
