packing...

hey to all
we are packing to leave...i cannot believe it...one of the busiest times of the business and summer with the kids and we are LEAVING...off we go to mexico...not for vacation but for service through our church.

The Great Commission
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [1] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

God didn't say..go if it is convenient...or if you have a really easy place for your kids to go...or even if you have tons of time and money...he says go in the imperitive...

so...i tell you so that you can pray for our work in mexico city ... satellite churches training them in spanish to lead their own vacation Bible schools, carnivals, and children's events...so i am asking for these specific prayers..
safety of those who are traveling
safety for our kids we are leaving behind
ease of communication through interpreters and details of accomodations and food
health for us while we are gone
that we can help these churches through training them to make disciples as well
the children we will come in contact with
customs etc for the large amount of tubs of things we are taking..that they will not be taken from us for no reason...
all of the extra things that i cannot even think of...

thanks in advance for your faithfulness through prayer...
amelia is in charge of BBTN while i am gone...thanks amelia!! blessings!
