Well friends, my passport is out, my suitcase is packed, and I’m heading to the airport!
I’m flying to Antigua, Guatemala to see Z Squad for the next week for their month 8 debrief!
(most of Z Squad-not all- in South Africa)
What is debrief?
This is a time the whole squad gets together to rest, celebrate, and be
poured into. The 4 days are filled with team debriefs, worship,
fellowship, and rest.
After serving for 8 months around the world, this is a time where
strength is running low and this is a time where they have to stop and
rest in the Lord. Dig into their relationship with the Lord and really
push through the last 3 months of the race. Month 9-11 is a challenging
stretch as many are tired, worn, and looking forward to American luxury.
But God has made this trip 11 months, so He still has teaching,
rebuilding, changing, awakening and GREATNESS for this squad and each
individual on it!
So….I fly down with 2 AIM staffers to LOVE on Z Squad, pour into them,
and speak into them what God is speaking over them. Joshua (my fellow
squad leader) is not able to come to our 8 month debrief he will be in
South Africa with the organization he works with (Orchard: Africa). Please pray for his travels as well.
Please pray for my travels down there and for my time with them. Pray
for wisdom and discernment as I listen to what the Lord is speaking and
stirring within them. For strength, endurance, and health as these 4
days are PACKED! Four days to see 42 people! I’m listening for the Lord
and allowing Him to align my steps and dates/convos with people. And
also that I would be open to receive Z Squad’s love and offering.
Knowing Z Squad and the Lord He has new things to speak into my spirit
and life, so I pray I am open and available to hear those as well.
It’s honestly SO refreshing to be traveling again, its been a hard time
of transition at home and a challenging season in the desert with the
Lord. I have been quiet on here and that is due to the season and time
I’m in. Even though its been hard, I’ve been reflecting today and have
been SO incredibly thankful to have this time in life to be set aside
with the Lord and simply rest. Rest in His arms, rest in his strength,
and allow him to deposit more truths, love, and passion for him. All of
this I know is in preparation for what is to come next. And rather than
anticipate what that is, I’m learning to enjoy today.
So….today I head for the airport. Today I prepare to fly out. Today I
rest in the Lord and thank him for an amazing week ahead!!!!
