I know that it’s been a long time since my last update. We’ve been on the move. From Palenque, MX the teams raced down to Antigua, Guatemala where we had our first squad debrief with Seth and Karen Barnes (our coaches for the year). After 4 days in Antigua, half of the squad, including myself, headed down to Nicaragua via a 14 hour bus ride through El Salvador and Honduras. Three teams are ministering in Guatemala this month (Antigua, Lake Atitlan, and Puerto Barrios) and three teams are serving throughout Nicaragua (Leon, Omitepe Island and Ocetal). Please check out their blogs.
I am in Granada, Nicaragua at the moment and tomorrow morning I am heading with team Kiatera to Leon.
As squad leader, I am finding the balance between logistics, focusing on intra-squad dynamics, discipling and ministering out in the community…The Lord has been teaching me a lot and I hope to be able to share it with you shortly. For some reason, words have been hard to come by.
Overall, the above quote is ringing true in our ears! The Lord is calling us to new frontiers with him. I am trying to figure out what this looks like personally while serving and focusing on the racers around me. I thank the Lord each day for them and rejoice each time the Lord paints a smile or tear on thier face – a visible sign of the beautiful transformation that is taking place within the heart and spirit of each individual.
