Jamaica!

In about 9 hours from now, we'll be at the airport, getting ready to take 60 freshmen, student leaders, and staff to Jamaica. The entire trip will be about 110 people total, and was so big that starting last year (this is like the 8th year) we had to break it up into two sites. We'll count that challenge as a blessing - what a great problem to have.

My heart for this trip is to bless the Jamaican people, and not necessarily to bring them a Jesus they don't already have there, but He who is already doing more than we can imagine in this beautiful place. We are seeking to really go with the hearts of servants, and to love selflessly. I also really want to see our student leaders and freshmen step into who they are as mature believers. This trip is designed to really call them into that, and it is a beautiful process. So here we go.

Pray for:
-safe (and even stress-free) travel
-unity in the team. serving one another in truth
-focus on the Lord. We're going to serve Him as our first love. His honor. His glory.
-rest. we're going to need it. especially with most of our site starting the trip on limited sleep
-Jamaica. The people. The culture. That it would be wholly exalting the Lord in every way.
-focus. We want to be fully there, no distractions from home, school, life.
-love. We were made to be famous in the way in which we love not just one another, but people who don't know Jesus. Not for our names, but so overwhelmingly that it makes His name great. (Is. 26:8)
