Made it to Germany! 2018 Team

Hello all back home!

We have a little less than an hour before we board our last flight so I thought I would let you all know we have made it this far! Everyone seems to be in good spirits and excited to have only one flight remaining. Other than some delays and having to speed walk through the Newark airport, everything has been incredibly smooth.

We were blessed by the group who came to send us off this morning! (or was that yesterday morning? ) The days all blend together at this point. It's 10am here but our bodies think it is 3am. We will definitely be working through the jet lag in the first few days.

The last of our team shared their faith stories, some journaling, reading and getting a chance to walk and stretch our legs after the long flight is how we've spent our time in Munich.

A few shout outs::

Thank you to the makers of MyPillow, for giving Emily Espeseth 9 full hours of sleep so far in our travels.  (while the majority of us is functioning on between 1 to 2)

Thank you to the makers of Immodium, Pepcid, Ibuprofen and essential oils- which have gotten multiple team members through our travel days so far.

Thank you to German Sandwhiches in the Munich airport- they have been a tangible blessing to those of us who weren't able to eat the airline food due to turbulence causing motion sickness.

In all seriousness, thank you to all of you- for supporting us this far, for encouraging us and for most of all- for all your prayers. We covet them and we are blessed by them. I have already seen them at work and I ask that you would continue to be in prayer whenever you think of us. More specific ways of how to pray to come- for now, pray that we would be open to the Holy Spirit at work in each moment of our days- whatever comes our way.

  1. May each of you feel God's sweet blessings of encouragement, endurance, and excitement as He goes before you. Praying you individually can capture "that one thing" He has for you each day, as you notice His supernatural presence intervening among your group and the beautiful people of Poland.
