Flying again

On my way to Indy for the first home school event this year. I look forward to meeting some more potential missionaries!

This makes it all worth it!

For years I have been managing a team of our staff and students who make phone calls to potential YWAM Participants. Many of these calls are done from 7-11pm. Now days we average over 1000 outgoing calls each week and most are simply leaving a message on their answering machine. Every once in a while I get an encouraging note about the work we are doing and this happened again yesterday. I wan to say thank you for making this type of ministry possible.
Below is the unedited email that our team received:
________________

Hi YWAM Orlando Staff,
I just wanted to take a second and thank you for how you are building the kingdom. Not only does it appear that your ministry is effective in Orlando and the surrounding cities, but your love for Christ and others extends far beyond, even to my neck of the woods in North Carolina. I have received several calls from your staff members and interns over the past couple years inquiring about getting involved with YWAM Orlando. Although that is not the path God has for me right now (I'm going to La Paz, Bolivia on the mission field in the fall!), I praise Jesus for these phone calls. Each time I've talked with someone from your staff it's been at a time when I really needed encouragement, and the YWAMer has always offered to pray for me over the phone. Even though I haven't felt led to get involved with your base, the people I've talked with have been incredibly encouraging and excited to hear about the ways God is working in my life. I have been moved by the way the Holy Spirit connects us as believers, even if it's just a phone call from a stranger. :) So thank you for seeking Jesus. I commend you for having a staff so eager to love and serve God and others.

Safe flight to Huston

After an early morning start, our flight was so smooth that we found the time for some peace and quiet. (Especialy with these two napping!) For some of our team this was their first flight and takeoff was very exciting! All seem to have enjoyed the first half of our travels today. Next flight: Panama!

Ready to fly to Huston

We got to Chicago safely and are about to take off! I will make a post when we get to Huston.
