Jessica and I are at training camp! Sleeping on plywood platforms. Drinking lots of water and coffee. Living in community with all the other leaders. Preparing for the girls' arrival.
The first full day of leadership training was pretty intense. We covered a lot of information. The health talk was a little scary, and I started thinking of everything that could go wrong while we're in Nicaragua. It's hard knowing you're responsible for someone's child. It's a level of responsibility that I'm not blindly walking into. But that fear isn't from God and last night I gave it to him. I know I'll need to keep giving it to him, taking one day at a time.
Clint spoke last night about being the kingdom of God. Of being possessed by God. Belonging to him. Jessica and I sat together and bound up spirits of fear and insecurity. We'll continue to do this as the spirits are revealed to us. Today we'll go over each girl's name. I hope that you will do this with us. You'll find a list of each participant and leader in the sidebar, including those staying at AIM. Please pray over these names, not just for safety, but that God would reveal the spirits that are holding us back.
We are praying for you and the girls here and we can’t wait until you get back! 🙂
Thankyou for your hearts for our girls and for the whole team of girls> I know you will be great mentors. We have learned as parents that God is so much better able to care for our children than even us who love them most in the world. The question is, will I trust Him? I know they are safe in your hands because they are first in His. Praying for you all.
jessica- hope you have a super duper time with your team! praying for you and for them. be strong and very courageous. do not fear, for God is with you. can’t wait to read the updates and follow your trip from afar…. hugs (lots of them)
