Leaving on a Jet Plane...

Tomorrow the adventure begins! I figured I would write this post today since our flight leaves at 7:20 a.m. and we are meeting at the airport at 5:30 a.m., which means we need to be getting up about 4:00 a.m. or so...didn't think I would have the clarity of mind to write anything at that time.

Thanks to you all for your prayers this week. We have all been busy preparing, packing and trying to get some sleep. Some of the team members have been battling colds, but are starting to feel a lot better. All in all, I think we are ready to go!

As we leave tomorrow, there are several things we ask you to pray for:
1. Good sleep tonight in preparation of an early and long day tomorrow.
2. For the families staying behind-for strength, for safety, etc.
3. Flights to be on time and for us to make them, as well as safety.
4. For luggage weights and checking...for all the luggage and musical equipment to go through check-in and customs as well as having them all arrive in the Dominican when we get there.
5. That God would be working through us from the moment we arrive at the MSP airport. The opportunity to share the gospel doesn't start when we step off the plane in the DR.

We are excited to see how the Lord will work. Thank you again to each of you for your prayers and support to us. We love you!
