Heading Out the Door

At 4am tomorrow (Saturday) we'll be leaving for an outreach trip with a big group from Asas and Brazilian churches. We'll be gone until next Sunday (July 26th) and each day will be PACKED. You might remember this anual trip from last year's post, but if not, here's a glimpse of what the week will look like:
  • Working in small, poor communities

  • A (min) 6 hr bus ride to get there

  • Free medical clinics

  • Free dental clinics

  • Working with children and teens from the communities

  • Visiting house to house to invite people to the activities and share the Gospel (this is the team we'll be on)

  • Lots and lots of walking

  • Sleeping in a school (on the floor)

  • Eating rice and beans....and LOTS of them!

  • Jesus film in the plazas or parks at night

  • Sharing with and challenging the teens and adults who have come along to serve in ministry for the first time

  • Being drained physically, but charged up emotionally and spiritually

We would really appreciate your prayer for us this week. Please pray for physical energy and that we would be able to share the Gospel with people who God has prepared to receive it.

When we're back we'll post a blog with lots of pictures from the week. Until then we'll be very, very far from the internet, but we'd still love to get a comment or email that we'll be able to see when we're back home! Have a great week!
