As we continue preparing for this mission trip, it is apparent that God has us in His hands and that He continues to bless both the preparations and those going on the trip.
At our meeting a week ago, team members again shared how they see God working:
Donna and Bruce were at Southmont's Christmas Pageant and ended up sitting next to a couple who had been translators for Wycliffe for several years - in Peru. It was another confirmation of God's work in Peru - through this trip and through the lives of many others.
Bruce also shared that he had recently been contacted by someone raising funds for mission work in Peru. With current resources going to our trip, now doesn't seem to be the right time to support this individual, but only God knows what He has planned for this connection with yet another believer focused on Peru.
Nancy was commited to going on this trip, but didn't know where the money would come from. At a college Bible study that she attended the day before the money was due, someone casually asked her about her plans to go to Peru. By the end of the evening, two college students had written her checks - just enough to cover her payment!
Stephen went to Thailand during the summer of 2008 with the college group from Southmont. He has continued to correspond with a student he met there, and had the chance to share with him about our trip to Peru. His friend commited to pray for our trip and get his friends to pray with him. Students in Thailand are praying for Texans who will be traveling to Peru!
Lane had called the church financial administrator to find out how much of his trip still needed to be paid for. He was informed that it was all covered!
Gayla is a Spanish professor at UNT and had the opportunity to share with some of her co-workers about her trip to Peru and why we are going.
As we see the ways God is working and blessing us in this time of preparation, we look forward with great anticipation to what He has planned to do in and through us on the trip!
