God Beyond our Planning

Our bags are packed and we look forward to the beginning of our trip TOMORROW! What have we forgotten? Oh my, surely we have neglected some important piece of our journey. Thank God that God's grace is triumphant beyond our planning! We go with the confidence of the prophet Isaiah, who heard God say "I am about to do a new thing . . . I will not forget you . . . I hold you in the palm of my hand." We go trusting that we are Holy Spirit led and heeding the wisdom of the author of Colossians: "Whatever you do, put your whole selves into it" certain that God will be faithful as we witness to the resurrected Christ in our midst.

We are saddened that our colleague, Richard McCarthy, will be unable to travel with us due to illness, but we will hold Richard in our prayers and are confident that God is at work in all things.

Thank you for your continued prayer support for our team, our church, and our world, all of which, of course, ultimately belong to God.
