Welcome

Welcome to this brand new blog, dedicated to documenting our mission trip to Guyana!

A few weeks ago we were getting ready to hear Doug Batchelor speak during a weekend seminar.  My friend Deborah Reeves and I were chatting about summer plans, and she asked if I'd be interested in going on a mission trip to Guyana during the first part of the summer.  Would I!!  I jumped at the opportunity.  The way the Lord worked everything out was incredible.  I heard about the mission opportunity on Sabbath, and by Monday morning I was in the ERC (Southern's Evangelistic Resource Center) asking if the position was still open.  It was, so I signed up and began the work of locating the necessary funds as well as getting my passport renewed.  It took three tries before I was successful at getting the ball rolling with my passport, but I finally made it to the Post Office and sent in the application for renewal.  I've already seen the Lord orchestrate things remarkably and can't wait to see what He has in store for both me and the mission team during this trip.

I'm going to be joining a group of 13 other young people as we preach the Gospel in Georgetown, Guyana, over a three week span.  It's going to have it's challenges and hardships but the blessings will definitely outweigh them all.  I'm really excited about the opportunity to preach another evangelistic series and can't wait for the trip to begin.

So what can you do to be part of this mission venture?  Actually, there are two ways!  First, I ask that you join me in prayer both for our team as we prepare to preach the Gospel, as well as for the people in Guyana that they will be open and ready to receive the message.  This is the most crucial activity during mission trips and one I sincerely hope you will join me in doing.  Secondly, sign up for email updates from this blog!  I plan on posting a lot, complete with videos and pictures so that you too may feel like you're experiencing the journey with us.  So feel free to enter your email address in the space provided on the right in order to stay up-to-date on our mission endeavors.

Invite your friends to join us in prayer and follow the blog as well, and together we will see precious souls won for Christ in Guyana!
