Mission Trip to Holland

In a few days I'll be on an airplane travelling to The Netherlands. It's approached so quickly!

I just wanted to quickly thank everyone who has walked alongside me so far on this trip by either financially supporting me or praying for me. I was blessed by friends and family and was able to raise all of the financial support necessary for the trip. Thank you all for your loving hearts and your missional passion! I love that my passion to go out to the world in Jesus' name was accompanied by the passion of many to send someone out in Jesus' name.

I have learned more about what we might be doing over there since I was last able to update everyone. The church we are going to visit wants to function the same exact way my church in Charleston functions. We're going to walk alongside them and share ministry ideas with them, along with encouraging them as a church, and directing staff/volunteers on how our church in Charleston does certain things to improve the weekly worship experience.

I'll be part of our team's Construction team. I'm not sure what we'll be doing yet, but I can't wait to get my hands on some tools and go to work!

I'm really going to value the time away to really reflect on where God is leading me and "pause" from everything that life is continually throwing at me. The places I've always heard best from God are the times where I'm uncomfortable and surrounded by things that are unknown, similar to when I first moved to Charleston. I know that God is going to use this time to break me, to build me back up in His mission.

PRAYER REQUESTS

Please pray for great communication and growth within the team.

Pray for personal growth. That I would experience God in a new way and that our relationship would grow to a deeper level.

Pray that my life would be open to where God wants me to go.

Love you all and cannot wait to tell you how things go!
