6 days.

Today we are sitting at 6 days till the trip and we can hardly believe it is here. We are finishing up all the last details of the trip and are getting ready to go. The T-shirts are printed, the devotionals are done, the music is rehearsed, the skits are finishing up. There was so much to do in early June in order to get ready for this trip and by the grace of God and the hard work of Lewis Young, Steve Murphy, Rick Heiser, and the rest of the team, we are able to say now that we are ready for the trip. This week we want to encourage you all, as well as ourselves, to be covering this whole trip in prayer, down to every detail. We hope that you can join us on Sunday night for our Ecuador Commissioning service. This will be a great time for us to worship the King and cover this trip in prayer. We invite you all and hope you can come. It starts at 6:30.

The biggest thing I can ask for you to be praying for is our team. Our hearts are already being prepared for the work God is going to do down there but pray that God would continue to soften our hearts to what He is going to be doing in and through us. Trips like these are great opportunities to seek the Lord away from our normal routines and other distractions. Please pray that God would move our group and that these students would learn more of what it looks like to spend time with God on a daily basis. Our devotional should be a helpful guide to spending time with the Lord. Pray that God would use these devotionals that He has given us to really bring us close to Him.

We have seen God work in so many ways in getting us ready for the trip. We want to give God all the credit for what He has done so far and we will continue to give Him that credit that He is due. We hope you can join us on this journey through prayer and checking up on this blog to see how things are going.

peace and love,
J Murph & Team
