Team!!!

Hey all!

So, I've been a little busy but here's yet another update! Above is a picture of our team and for those of you who don't know, we're pretty much awesome! I, along with the rest of my team, am stoked to go down to San Jose and display the love of the Lord of this Earth. What a mighty God we serve! We just completed one of our fundraisers here at CCU. Who woulda thunk that sellin' Root Beer/Orange Floats, Soda, Popcorn, and Candy Bars would be so fun! The Sanctus Real concert at CCU was the location of our fundraiser and we raise a fair amount of money. We are so close to our financial goals, and for all of you who have supported us THANK YOU!!! I pray that you will be blessed for having blessed us! As you may be able to tell I am using a lot of !!!'s in this post but this serves as to emphasize how emphatically enthused I am for leaving on May 11. The day soon approaches that my team and I will be serving the Lord in the most radical way that I have been a part of up to this point in my life. I am praying that the Lord uses us in powerful ways, even though we might not witness the change that we may impart onto others. Not only do I pray for our lives to be a witness for the Lord unto others but I pray that our lives are dramatically changed by our ministry and the people that we encounter. Please pray for the same! I will be giving all who have donated to our team, several photos from the trip and of our team! So be on the lookout for those. Because I have a lot going on in the upcoming weeks with graduation and finals I might not update very quickly but I will be sure to make at least one more update before we leave. Thank you all for your support and I look forward to making/sharing encounters, interactions and stories very soon!
