here we go!!!!!!!!

Hey friends and family!!!
We're back from missions ropes and we are sooooooo excited to get about the work we've been preparing for these many months! Thank you so much for your support and prayers as we go into a whole new culture to share the love of jesus and fellowship and encourage other believers. Please pray for our travel and saftey. We leave May 11 and arrive in Durban May 13th.....quite the journey!!!!

Ropes was an incredible time of preparation and strengthening for our team and as individuals! We were challenged physically, emotionally, and spiritually and grew together as a unified team. Together our team came up with 3 main things we feel we are to focus on while we are in South Africa.

Here are somethings we are believing for within our team. We would love it if you would agree with us in prayer!

-Love:
That our team would be known by the way we treat one another. That it would be a reflection of our relationship with Christ and that His love in us would overflow into all we do. (Romans 12:9-10)

-Focus/Intentionality: We don't want to miss a single opportunity that the Lord presents us. We are a team who loves one another and loves to have fun together, but we want to be sure that we are constantly being contentious of the Lords voice and our surroundings! ( Hebrews 2:1)

-Passion:
We never want to forget the reason we are able to have access to such incredible love.....and the reason that has brought us to South Africa......Jesus. We desperately desire that the motivation for every single thing we do and say in S.A. will be out awe and wonder of the price Jesus paid on the cross and the ultimate gift that he gave us......eternal life. A chance to be in constant relationship with Him for today and all eternity! (Eph 1:17-18)

Thank you again for your support: financially, in prayer and love. As you have poured into our team you are a part of our team as well! We will do our best to represent you well.....most of all we strive to represent Jesus in everything we do!
We love you!
