CENTRAL AMERICA ROCKS!!!

Today we found out our outreach location!!! Or should I say locations?! In two weeks we will leave for a one week outreach in Panama. After that, we will return to the base and finish the final few weeks of our lecture phase. Then we will go camping in the jungle for a week then leave for THE outreach! We will be ministering throughout Costa Rica, Honduras, and El Salvador. WOW! I cannot wait to see what God is going to do. At this point, we really don’t know specifically where we will go or even what type of ministry we are going to do. It does sound like we may be working with a lot of indigenous tribes and possibly spend a lot of time in the jungles though. Anyway, I guess you could say that we are at a really exciting point in this journey….the time where we start planning and using our creativity and allowing God to give us ideas. However, it’s not just time to plan, it’s also time to fundraise. We will be fundraising as a team rather than individually. Some people already have the money needed for the outreach phase, which is $1500 per person, and others don’t have any of the money. If anyone has any ideas of how we can raise money, please share your ideas. Later this week we should have an idea of exactly how much we are lacking. My hope is that we can raise extra money and use it to bless some of the people we are going to minister to.

If you think about it, I would greatly appreciate your prayers, and I know my friends here would appreciate them as well. We are praying that God would show us His heart for the people of the countries we are going to. We are asking that He align our hearts with His so that we can minister effectively. It’s not enough to just go and do things for the people, we want to truly love them and share God’s love with them. We need to know specifically where we should go and we also need to know exactly what to do in each location. There are so many options: orphanages, sex trafficking/prostitution, homeless, indigenous, performing arts, general arts, poverty stricken, the list goes on and on.

Thanks for your love and prayers!
