Meeting of the Team

Last night finally after trying on two other separate occasions to get together but because of bad weather could not we were able to meet as a group of people and come together as a team.

This was so very exciting for me. God sure has been testing my trust, faith, patience and much more over the past few months. This whole process started back in the fall for me when another couple whom have been on this particular mission planted the seed in my mind about the possibility of this happening for me.

Well I immediately put in my request of interest to the powers to be, filled out my application forms, met with the organizers and then was told to wait and they would be back in touch with me.

For me I am very much a the personality of I want it now type. So being told to wait was difficult for me and then to be told that I would sort of be put on the bottom of the list of people to go, cause the sponsoring church members get first opportunity, even made that wait longer and harder for an impatient person like me.

God tested me to get out of the way and to let the pieces come together in the way he felt fit. So when the call came to say I was part of the team if I wanted to go was so exciting and worth the wait. Then God wanted to test all of our Faith once again because due to extreme bad weather our first two meetings as a team had to be cancelled. Yes some disappointment but I was once again forced to put my trust in God and finally the meeting came together.

It is my opinion that things happen the way they do for a reason. I am not 100% sure yet as to why things are off to a start like this but so far I have seen many God Blessing this mission come together that in the days to come I will be able to explain latter in more detail. All I can say right now is that two really exciting opportunities for fundraising were handed to me today one after another and I believe again God just happened to put me in the right place at the right time, for the right opportunities to present themselves to our team.

Right now as it sits there are 12 committed people to our team and we expect this to maybe even grow to a few more people in the days to come. We are waiting for applications from a few more people and we need to pray for them and that God will lead them were they need to be.

Come back in a few weeks and meet the team as we post all of our pictures and our bios of what we bring to the team.

Please remember to keep praying for Kids Alive, for the Peru 2007 team, and that as we meet over the weeks to come that our goals and objectives towards this mission all come together the way the Lord see fits.
