Video Episode 2

Even though we've been here in Guyana for a week now, I haven't had enough good Internet to upload any videos.  So this is only the second episode of our trip showing a short video montage of our travels from the U.S. to Guyana, but I hope you enjoy it!  In other news, the Lord is greatly blessing the meetings here and many people are making decisions to be baptized and give their lives totally to God!

Arrival in Guyana!

I'm so excited, our team has finally arrived safely in Guyana!  Only one student was left behind due to a problem with his Visa, but he's in the process of getting it now and will be arriving here in a couple of days which is an answer to prayer in itself.

So far, I've been earning the reputation of being last on this trip.  After a hectic couple of days filled with flying from Alaska to Tennessee, spending a day packing, and doing last minute shopping, I was about ten minutes late meeting up with the team at Southern.  After driving the two hours to the Atlanta airport, our team proceeded to get their boarding passes, which was when I found out that the ticketing agent had misspelled my name.  So by the time I got that situation all figured out, the rest of the team was waiting on me.  Everything went fine again until we were going through security, and the TSA official had to rescan my bag.  Somehow it came out that I was heading over to Guyana on a mission trip, whereupon she excitedly told me she was from Guyana and we had a lively little talk about the country.  Which made me late.  Again.  But oh well, I may not have come in first but I've definitely arrived in Guyana with everyone else.

This evening we met with our pastors, elders, and local leaders at the churches we will be preaching at.  Everyone's excited and nervous at the same time.  It's going to be an exciting few weeks and I know lives will be changed - even among us students.  Continue praying for our team and the local leaders as we prepare to start the evangelistic series this coming Friday!
