Hello Fellow Missionaries!!!!

We are going to Panamá to glorify God through acts of kindness....Let us begin

I can't begin to tell you what an exciting day this is for me....! In less than 12 hrs my Beloved hubby will be home from Iraq!! Praise the gracious name or God for allowing him home sooner than anticipated!!!
Also, I am excited to finally get to update this blog for you all, so that we can get some important things posted for you...I am hoping you will visit it from time to time to look for new things...You'll never know what will be next, but it will surely be something to get you ready for the mission trip.
We are hoping this will be the best trip yet!!!
We learned much from some of the experiences from our previous trip....we hope we have learned from them and that we now know better what works and what does not work.
As you all know, these mission trips are helping Richard and I learn how to run a mission once we get to stay in the field and do it DAILY for the rest of the time until the Lord says, enough!
For this year's trip, the music band is working to get the all the concert details together ...Friday , Feb 12 is the night the concert has been scheduled, and we need to pray for all those playing in the band, the speaker, and for all the kids who will come, for the Lord to show Himself to them in a mighty way, and that many will come to accept him as their Lord and Savior.
In the next few days, please look for the Daily Schedules...We have made schedules per team..we think this will be easier for each team to know times and activities specific for their team.
These schedules are not etched in stone..We need your input...we think that it is a very good idea to get your thoughts into it...many heads think better than two..
Remember the application DEADLINE and half of the donation is due NOVEMBER 15... That's TWO MONTHS AWAY...

THINGS TO PRAY ABOUT:
Rebecca Porter - Missionary with Open Heart Ministry, hoping to go to Panama...I think that if she had the funds she would probably go with us as we hoped... It would a tremendous blessing to have her join the team even if for a few days.
All Missionaries - For all who have expressed a desire to go, and who are preparing...that the Lord would open all doors for them to be able to go, and for good health.
Finances - All of us are raising funds, and we also have a challenge to raise a larger amount this time, to be able to achieve all our mission goals.
Wisdom - for Richard and I as we lead the group. We are nothing without the Lord's guidance.
