One thing the World Race will definitely teach you is to be flexible.  Our race route has recently changed.  Instead of traveling to Israel next, we will be spending 10 days in Turkey and then 20 days in Israel!  I am incredibly excited at this new door that God has opened.  My squad is only the second squad to travel to these places, and we are pumped!  Because of these changes, this next month will look a little different than other months as far as communication goes.  Both of these countries are considered closed countries.  What this means is that my communication about our ministry will be very limited and general, if I am able to give any information at all.  The reason for this is for our protection and the protection of our contacts.  Please be praying for me and my squad as we head into these potentially dangerous areas.  I cannot wait to see how God is going to move over this next month!  
This next part is very important: Please limit your responses to any blogs I post this month, as our email will be monitored while we are in these two countries.  I love all of you and am so thankful for your support!  I will let you know when it is ok to begin regular responses to my blogs.  Thank you so much!
