The night before...

Hi everyone,
Well, It's the night before I leave for Panama, and my bags are packed and at the door. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared out of my mind to go to another country where I don't speak the language well and try and talk to people about my faith in Jesus Christ, but also excited at all I know God has in store for changing my life and using me to change the lives of hundreds of Panamanians in the coming weeks. Thanks to all who have made this trip possible, without your prayers and financial support I wouldn't be sitting here unable to sleep for excitement at what tomorrow holds. I'm truly blessed to have such amazing and supportive family and friends. Please keep me and my team in your prayers over the next weeks. We are going to be faced with many steps of faith and be forced to depend on and trust in God and his power and strength, but I know that God has gone before us, will be there with us and will continue to work long after we are gone. Keep checking back, I'll post an update as often as I can. Thanks again everyone, I love you all! Can't wait to share all the amazing things God is going to do in Panama when I get back.
For His Kingdom,

Em you are such an encouragement!! I'm so happy and thankful to hear how God has stretched you in the last month, and I'm mega stoked to know he is going to challenge and stretch you over the upcoming weeks. Mamacita, I will be praying for you and your team as often as I can. Bless you and your team for their faithfulness, and bless everyone supporting you as well - it's time to put the hand to the plow!

Much love and wishes for a safe journey,

Erin
