Little Encouragement amidts Discouragement

As of now, our team is still short about $3,000. We are trying to work with the organization to see if there is anywhere we can cut costs for the trip to make it cheaper (i.e taking trains rather than paying for gas in a vehicle). We are currently awaiting their reply, but unfortunately haven't heard back from them in a couple weeks.

Please pray for cooperation as well as safety as we aren't sure what is holding up communication. Pray there is understanding and peace for both our team as well as the missions organization. Sorry this isn't the best of news for this post but God will work things out.

I talked with a lady today about the trip and what she said has lifted my spirits a bit: "No matter where you are, whether you're preparing to go or already there, you will encounter struggles. But in those times, ask God how He wants to use you and you'll be blessed." Pray with us as we watch God work through this trip.
