I am rested, recuperated, relaxed, and refreshed. It is time to get moving again. I have been back in the States for 4 months and it has been awesome. Many people struggle with coming home after living overseas -reverse culture shock. But I have been soaking it all up. Soaking in the bath, bed, and my daily bread (or more like my daily banquet). Maybe because I was spent when I came home from pouring myself out, but now I am filled up again and restless to spill God’s living water.
I am honored to be co-leading this trip with one of my old Racers Liz Adcock. It looks like we will have 4 guys and 11 girls between the ages of 18 and 24. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be apart of this trip and for the opportunity to invest my life into these participants. My first ministry will be to them. To walk along side them through abandonment of safety and familiarity of home and help them embrace the Kingdom call on their life in a country desperate for love. I covet your prayers for wisdom in this new leadership role, as I know it will come with new and unforeseen challenges.
Thank you to everyone that made a donation to me! I have now raised all $2,000 for this trip! Know that you are investing in more than just me. Your investment will extend well into the hearts my teammates and those that we minister to.
I will be flying into Atlanta on the January 22nd for a few days of leadership training and Training Camp for the participants. We will all be flying out on the 29th for Swaziland. It is coming soon and I much to do yet to get ready. I am blessed to journey again to a foreign country and excited to take you with me through my blogs. Thank you everyone for following me and supporting me. I love to hear from you and enjoy answering any questions you have.
blessings,
Neil
