Now that we are about half way done with the race, I’ve decided it would be a good time for a team update. At the end of Thailand my team leader, Carlie, joined with another team (previously Team X-treme, but now they are called S.E.E.D.S). Janelle came and joined our team, and is now our team leader. During the month of Rwanda it was the five of us; Nikki, Sarah, Alecia, Janelle and I. We renamed our team to ‘Shekinah’ as we saw it very fitting with some things that were spoken to us by God.
At the end of Rwanda we had our 5 month debrief where our training coaches, Michael Hyndes and Sean came to teach us and talk with us. It was a good week, although it was very busy and way too short (as all debriefs are). It was a time of pushing into the Holy Spirit, learning more about prophesy and growing as a team and as a squad. We did everything from going on a safari to a 2 ½ hour fire tunnel. To those of you who do not know what a fire tunnel is, it is basically where people line up making a tunnel and people walk through. As the people walk through, the people on the outside prophesy about you. It was a challenging and tiring time, but a good time as some good and applicable things were prophesized over me.
During debrief we found out that Nikki would be heading back to Washington. That takes our team down to 4 people. It has been sad saying good bye to Nikki but I know God has great plans for her. Plans to grow and prosper her, and although it might be challenging for her it will be good I think. It is weird having only four people as we started with 6. It reminds me of the breaking of the fellowship-each of us are going our different ways but we all have the same purpose-to bring the Kingdom. Whether that is in Africa or the USA our job does not change. Good byes are sad for all, but one day we will all see each other again.
That is our change in a nutshell, and hopefully we will not lose any more members of the fellowship.
