At the end of month 3 our teams have been switched! We will be starting off Malaysia in a new way.
My team lost Susie and gained Emily Young and Karen Wheeless
This is now our team: Matt Herrick, Caleb Dufresne, Simone Grauer, Lauren Sims, Miranda Roy, Emily Young and Karen Wheeless
My previous team was called 12:18. This name was based off of the verse 1 corinthians 12:18 –” But God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body just as he wanted. ” This name was based off of how much we did not like our team at first and had to trust God that we were all placed together for a reason. As the race progressed we all began to see the meaning of our team name and were able to realize why God had put us together.
My new team name is 12:18. Yes you read right…even though we have a changed a little we still have the same name. Except this time it has a complete new meaning. It is now based off of Matthew 12:18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen, My beloved in whom My soul delights; I will put My spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.”
I was worried at first that it might be hard to accept 2 new people into a group that has already been through so much growing and learning together. We have only been together for a few days but I feel as if we are all molding together really well. I am excited to see what God has in store for us as a new team.
We arrived in Malaysia on March 29th. Our team is staying at the Kuala Lumpur International Church until Sunday. We are doing street evangelism and preparing to do the Easter service for this Sunday. Come Monday morning we will be leaving for the Malaysian Jungle!!! We will be living with the indiginous people for 2 weeks. I don’t really know that much except that there are probably no bathrooms, the houses are on stilts and we will probably be eating wild boar and lizards. I will not have internet connection very much this month but will try to keep you updated when I can.
