God is so faithful!
Just about three months after starting the support raising process we – Sophie and I – are just about finished. Three months ago visions of packing up our house, getting on a plane, saying goodbyes, and being in Peru felt only like dreams. I had complete trust in Jesus that bags would be packed and our plane would touch down in Lima, but the huge task of support raising pushed that reality to the back of my mind. Now, our room has clothes all over in storage, suitcase, and Goodwill stacks. Our leaders said we can start scanning airline websites for flights. A host family is getting an email with our names in it. I am just so thankful for each person on our team, each staff member apart of GoCorps and ReachGlobal, and the daily provision Jesus has brought to us!
Tonight Sophie and I get to share with the youth group of the church we attend. A lot will be our testimony and details about what we will be doing in Peru, but we also get to share a small message. I am talking about God’s will and how sovereign He is. He is! His will is to follow scripture, to help those in need, and to follow your hearts passion. For me, serving as a goer checks all those boxes. If you’re feeling that tug on your heart, GO for it! Talk to a GoCorps staff! Join a team!
As for the photo, here I am carrying our first Christmas tree! I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season!
