So here’s a random assortment of
information that you may be wondering about.
Route:
My route has been changed! (Still
subject to change. You can take it up with God if it bothers you J)
Ukraine, Romania, Ireland, Kenya,
Uganda, another place while in Africa, Cambodia, Thailand, one other place
while in Asia, Guatemala, and Nicaragua! I may have got some out of order but I
promise I will know what country I am in when I get there and let you know!
My Squad:
There are 52 amazing men and
women of God on my Squad. We are referred to as the O Squad, June 2010 Squad,
or the really laid back squad. We were broken down into teams of 6-8 at
training based on how we work together and lots of prayer!
My team!
People: Courtney Hess(fearless leader),
Jeremiah Reynolds (Finance Man), Kim Hurt, Kevin Smigielski (yes I plan on
calling him Smigiel), and Jennifer Miele!
Team name is Shofar 1:5. A Shofar
is a rams horn that was blown to announce the year of Jubilee, was used to
bring down walls of Jericho, used as a sign of God’s voice and much more! Our
verse is…
“Look at the nations and watch–and be utterly amazed. For I am
going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were
told.” Habakkuk 1:5

out my teammates blogs as well to see what God is doing through us!
What your support money is going towards J:
The $14,300 pays for all my airfare
and training camp!
It allows me to live on $12
dollars a day which breaks down to about
$4 food, $5 board, $3
transportation
(Yes I will learn how to live on
a budget with 6 people trying to decide on what food is a necessity. I’m
praying for only minor injuries during those discussions and no deaths)
There is a portion that goes to the wonderful
women and men that run AIM! Amazing people! They do the planning, praying,
preparing, coaching, and calm our parents down when they freak out!
I still pay for my travel to
training camp and launch in New York, medical insurance, gear, shots, malaria
meds, supplies, and daily needs along the way!
When I Leave:
I will leave the 16th
from New York and be on my way to the Ukraine!
Prayer Request:
Please pray…

a spirit of peace wherever we go

Health

Unity for my squad and team

That I seek God’s voice everyday

For God to be known, shown, and glorified!

Openness-that God be revealed in new ways that
maybe I have been closed to due to upbringing, bad theology, and earthly
knowledge that puffs up
