There’s nothing quite like a road trip!
There are few times you’ll find me happier than in a vehicle driving across the country with wonderful people. Talk about great relational time and shared experiences! Today has been a perfect start of our road trip to Brooklyn. This morning, 20 of our team of 27 met at 5:30 to begin the trek. After 14.5 hours on the road—filled with iPod games, road trip BINGO, group story-writing, music, books, sleep, and lots of conversation—we arrived at our hotel in Cleveland, OH, with no major vehicle problems or delays. That’s a huge answer to prayer!
Tomorrow our 7 flying companions will meet up with us in Brooklyn for a relaxing evening together before all of our Sunday worship adventures. We’ll have the chance to join multiple ethnic communities for their church services throughout the day. It will be a profound experience, I’m sure.
Please continue to pray for God’s protection as both the drivers and flyers journey to Brooklyn tomorrow. Pray also for deep conversations and continued team bonding, as well as spiritual preparation for us and those we will be serving. I’m personally praying that God will surprise all of us with the ways that He chooses to work through us while we’re in New York, and that through all of our experiences we will see God and His mission in a new and bigger way.
Thank you for partnering with us through your prayers! YOU make the difference.
