Guat now?!

I feel like time is flying here! My parents were here for a week and now they're gone.

That's 10 meals eaten in a restaurant in one week and six slices of left over no-bake cheesecake. That (and a few other gems) are what I have to show for my week. It was great. They are great and I'm blessed to have them care so much to fly (aka face their fear of being in the clouds) down here to see me.

There's probably a million different things I could be getting involved with right now. I'm working hard at my apprenticeship and track to further the goals of the mission organization. Ideas are turning into plans and plans are turning into more people on the mission field for the Kingdom of God. Whoop! Naturally, it's a very busy place. So I'm trying to rest in what I actually feel called to and not just what I could occupy my time with. You ready to hear what that calling is?

Guatemala.

But only for six days. And more specifically the calling is risk. Faith and risk. Identical twins, sometimes. God has been gently tugging at me to just step out into the unknown with him. The worship track is headed there for some worship/prayer time over the places where they want to continue to build long term bases for missionaries. Awesome!

We are Levites, hear us sing!

I'm not actually in worship track but I've been welcomed to join them in their quest to bring God's holy presence to the mountains and valleys of this great and wild Central American country.

I'm a little afraid of what lies ahead but that's generally the case with life when you don't know what you're doing, right? It's scary. It's water above your head and you can't remember if you learned how to swim or not. God will throw you a life vest. Faith is buoyant.

So I'm trusting that God has something awesome for everyone involved in this trip.

I need $800 to cover my airfare there and then I'll be set.

So here's where you can join in. Pray for me + the team! You're always welcome to donate here!

Or, if you prefer a more trade-sy kind of deal, buy my book online and then we'll both have something to talk about!:
