So here's some news for y'all. I found out last Monday that our team leader, Peter, was unable to get his travel papers for Argentina. He is a British citizen, and he needed papers to be able to return to the states after his trip. The process is expected to take THREE MONTHS.
Wow.
So leadership at YWAM Denver asked me if I would be willing to lead the team. HELLO?! That's crazy. But maybe just crazy enough to be God. So after praying about it...I accepted.
Peter is not going with us, and so it will be my beautiful and capable assistant Abbi and myself leading this team of 14 amazing students on this seven week adventure. All I keep thinking is, "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me." And guess what? I feel strengthened. Already we have amazing stories...try this one for size:
We fed 17 people for 5 1/2 days (Peter is doing ministry with us our first week as we are ministering locally in the Denver area) for a grand total of $36.01. AND ramen noodles are the base of only one meal! Yeah. God rocks.
Anyway, will you pray? I feel in my spirit that this is going to be a crazy adventure. This exciting roller coaster of a trip. God is the leader of this team, so we are in good hands And you know what? For now, I'm not going to give prayer requests...you just pray as you are led of the Holy Spirit. He knows what we need better than I do!
Love you all, and hope your Christmas is merry and beautiful.

2 Cor. 9:11-13
"You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else."
