So, I have a few really important and exciting updates for everyone…

1. Route Changes

At training camp, it was announced that several changes would be made to the U Squad route. As it stands, we will no longer be going to Indonesia, Ukraine, and Ireland. These countries have been substituted with Thailand, Cambodia, and Moldova. Just for your reference, here is our tentative route. 

Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, Malaysia, India, Nepal, Swaziland, Mozambique, South Africa, Moldova, Romania

2. Launch Date

U Squad now has its official Launch Date! We are flying from Las Angeles, CA to Thailand on January 7, 2011! Please mark this date on your calendars and be praying that everything runs according to plan and we all arrive safely.

3. Support Raising

I know many of you are probably wondering how my support raising has been coming along over the past several months. Well, I have some GREAT NEWS for you! With the help and support of many generous partners, I have raised a total of $12,189.75! That’s only $2,110.25 away from being fully funded! God has truly blessed me and I’m fully confident that He will abundantly bless all those who have partnered with me on this journey. I am so deeply thankful for each of you. Your gifts are more than monetary donations, they are eternal investments in the Kingdom of God. 

With that being said, I want to extend an invitation to all of my readers, to take part in this world-changing cause. My goal is to be fully funded before leaving in January. I have complete faith that it is possible. Just a few weeks ago I was hoping to reach $10,000 and that goal was quickly surpassed. My request is that you simply pray and seek direction from God in this area. 

If God leads you to give financially, check out the donation options by clicking on the Support Me! Tab in the left column of this blog. 

Thanks and much love, 

Andrew
