TRIP ANTICIPATION

Last year at this time, I started making plans for an anniversary trip to Scotland. The anticipation put a joyful spin on every passing week. Working out the details and making reservations - and even making payments along the way - were all a joy, because each step brought the reality closer.

The promise of that trip energized me on a weekly basis. It was never absent from my consciousness. 

And when July finally arrived, the whole thing came together even better than I had hoped.

This year I am feeling a similar excitement about planning a very different trip.

God willing, this July I will be taking a group of high school and college students with me to Ghana, West Africa. (And hopefully a parent or two will join us.)

So far I have at least four teens who are seriously interested: two gals and two guys. 

Among the young ladies is my daughter, Sarah - and how awesome will that be? 

A couple of the teens from Sardinia Baptist are also interested and I couldn't be more excited. As one who knows firsthand the way God can move through a mission trip, the anticipation of what the Lord might accomplish during this trip already has me on the edge of my seat. 

Would you pray for us as this team comes together? I would much appreciate it.

And if you want to join us, let's talk!
