I’m fully funded!!!!  Whoop!  Thank you so much all of you who got me to this point!  Also thank all of you who have been praying for me and encouraging me along the way!!  This has been quite a journey thus far, and I haven’t even left let.  Here’s a quick update of what’s in store for the next month.    

My official date of departure from Tallahassee is October 2nd, and my departure from the States will be a few days later.  My squad and I found out at TC (Training Camp) a few weeks ago that for the first month in Ecuador the entire squad will be living together with the same ministry host in the capital city of Quito.  When we do our ministry activities for the day, we’ll split off into our teams (Team Charismata!!!  Whoop!).  I am super excited for what is in store for all of us!  As already mentioned in a previous blog post, the entire squad is super close and like a family.  In fact we annoyed the other squads at TC with our near constant hugging, praying and excitement.   So of course we’re all very excited to be together for our first month on the field!  In that first month, as an entire squad, we’ll be able to live together, break together, laugh together, cry together, and radically change together.  

Please continue to pray for me and my squad as we prepare to embark on this mission in less than a month!  Thank you again, all of my supporters!  You guys are awesome!  Plus, whether you realize it or not, you’ve made this mission your mission as well as mine.  When you donated you said, “I’m sending Robbie as my representative into the world.  To preach the Gospel to the people of Ecuador, India, and Zambia, and bring hope, encouragement, and love to the hopeless, discouraged, and unloved.”  Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
