Hello from Nicaragua!
After a refreshing time and team changes in St Lucis, South Africa and 3 days of intense travel with very little sleep, we’re at our location! It is REALLY hot and humid. Quite a change coming from winter season in S.A. From the moment we stepped out of the airport til now I have been sweaty. It’s a non stop 24/7 thing. Not something I’m used too. Michigan summers doesn’t get hot enough for you to sweat all over, ALL THE TIME. It will be a good month to learn joy in this stinkin hot weather.
The Fusion Squad at the beach in S.A.
Our team name is Las Plumas En El Viento which is Spanish for Feathers in the Wind. Plumas for short. We are a team of five girls. We will also have a Squad Leader with us this month so it’ll be 6 people this month.
Our ministry is Unsung heroes! (I did this in Vietnam in March)This month we will be traveling around looking for ministries and meeting with them for future World Race teams to come and serve with. We are all excited to see where God takes us this month! It will be challenging, but God is faithful.
Right now we are in Granada, but will possibly be headed to another town to meet with a contact in a couple of days.
The story behind our team picture-
I’m the feather and after Joy blows me, Victoria, Tori and Debbie rolls over thus moving the feather in the ‘wind.’ 🙂 We chose this name because we want God to guide us into whatever He has for us.
I have been praying that God would make our hearts light like a feather so that we will be guided by His Spirit with a willingness to be moved and changed. That we would obey and go wherever God calls us. Please pray for that with me.
One of the biggest challenge for me this month is that I have been asked to be a team leader. I will give more details on this later, but for now please pray for wisdom and discernment. Pray that I would lead with humility and joy.
Here is a definition of Unsung Heroes-
Unsung Heroes definition-Men and women who are dedicated to serving some of the most impoverished populations in the world, yet rarely receive recognition for their dedication and service. These givers may also live with meager conditions but give consistently from an abundance of God’s love. Their names may not be in history books, their acts unknown to the rest of the world, while unrecognized, they shake a generation and move a culture and ultimately build the Kingdom.
Our mission– is to find these unsung heroes and to hear hearts, document visions, and empower hopes.
Also, we will not be going to Mexico in October like planned due to safety reasons. Instead, we will be going to Belize!
