We leave tomorrow for Miami, where one of our missionaries has a church. I would appreciate your prayers.

Will do!
I'm going on an informal mission trip myself this weekend. My in-laws own a mountain in NC and a bunch of us are going up there to camp around an 1850s cabin. Really cool. OK, so there will be a great deal of drinking around a bon-fire. I've had more deep, heartfelt conversations with folks who were half drunk than any other type of person outside my religion department at school. Lowered inhibitions can work in your favor, in terms of broaching serious subjects.
There's a guy going that used to be a Christian but with the hand he's been dealt in the last 10 years, I really can't blame him for being seriously bitter and skeptical about his faith. Then he's been traveling all over the world where he found more and more countries which ARE post-Christian (as opposed to America who is just heading that way). Anyway, I'm hoping to draw him back towards faith if nothing else this weekend.
What will you be doing on your missions trip?

Vacation Bible School and construction projects, I think.

We have the last day of our VBS at our church. It's been a Jungle theme and it going quite well. In my class, there's one girl who's accepted the Lord as savior and another boy who's almost there. Please pray for Cerise and Ryan. I'll be praying for your situations, too.

I just went to Mexico on a missions trip, it was incredible. One day we went out just to relax and catch up, and we started singing some songs from choir at school. A lady overheard us and she became a christian.
God bless you on your trip and may others see God emulated in everything you do.

Thank you for all your prayers. I think all the people praying made a big difference... the missionaries were really encouraged.
