To start off with a gross understatement, Training camp was AMAZING! We worshiped, shared stories, played games, worshiped, ate meals reflective of many of the cultures we’ll visit, worshiped, went hiking/ camping and prepared meals for all 48 members of our squad (the U Squad….”U Know!”), participated in team building exercises and lessons, worshiped, danced, and prepared our hearts and minds for this incredible journey we are all embarking on as one huge 48 member family:) Within the squad we were divided into teams of 5-7. I will be the group leader for a five person team. My team consists of me and four amazing, vibrant, strong women who will constitute my sisters/family for the 2011 year. Alison, Rachel, Kim, Katy, and I had time at the end of the week to spend in ministry together and to hang out and get to know one another. I cannot adequately express how thoroughly excited I am to have these girls by my side for the World Race and look forward to the life changing experiences and challenges we will conquer together. We will go boldly into this world and awaken the eternity that is stirring within the hearts of all men.
P.S. I hope to post more details when I am not quite so exhausted:)
