Trust, Faithfulness, Delight

Psalm 37:3-7 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him.

New Trip Planning Begins

Yesterday we had a kickoff meeting to start planning our next excursion to Tanzania, East Africa. Our tentative plans at this time are scheduled for Nov, 2012. We had 9 people attend this first session. Our leader John Ricke, talked about faith, and how we need to plan this trip on a firm foundation of faith. We also talked about how faith is blind--for we walk by faith, not by sight!
Man makes his plans, but the Lord directs his steps. Our prayer is that we seek His will in our planning, and that we align ourselves with His desires.

We talked about the team covenant, the application, the upcoming meeting schedule, fees, needs for passports, immunizations, and frequently asked questions about missions trip. And so the adventure begins again. . .

John also encouraged people to start their own personal journals as they prepare for the trip itself. It's in the planning that God begins to prepare our hearts.

God willing, we will be back in Africa in Fall 2012, working with Steve McFarland, and Thane & Charlotte White, who recently became full time missionaries in Arusha.

If you would be interested in going with us, or in helping us go, please reply to this post and we will be glad to see where you can get plugged in.

Mungu akubariki!
