well, i'm off to iowa tomorrow. goodbye to all my good friends here at home, whom i haven't seen much of in the past few weeks.....see you when i get back! please, please pray for us while we're gone. we will be essentially mucking out a deep dark basement, every day. and working with the youth group there, doing activities, etc. with them. please pray for team unity and a spirit of willingness. pray that with humility we will worship God in our service. and please pray that me and lori will be able to be in charge of food and worship to some degree of success!
Lord, i ask now for selfishness to be set aside. i ask that each and every person on this mission trip would see with Your eyes. make us sensitive to your Spirit and leading. grant us strong bodies to do your work and sleep on floors without getting sore! protect us as we travel and work. Thank you for providing us with such energetic teenagers and committed leaders. Thank you for your body, the believers in Christ. may we take your words to heart and serve others as we long to serve and pursue you!
AMEN!
we will be leaving tomorrow at 9am, arriving in iowa around 8 or 9 that evening. We will be back home on august 1, sometime in the evening. have an awesome week, everyone!

Have an awesome time in Iowa, Marcia! You guys will definitely be in my prayers! (I can't believe your missions trip to Iowia is already here...crazy!)
Hey Marcia,
If you have any free time, come on down to Kansas City and check out IHOP. Very cool stuff! And you get to see me!!! JK. Blessings to you!
I WOULD LOVE TO COME TO IHOP!!!!!! you don't know how much, joel! i think this trip is pretty planned down to a tee, but i did consider taking my own vehicle, so i could head down afterwards. with work and money, it didn't work out, but one day soon!!! my friend tarah is also at IHOP, so it's now a priority!!!! blessings to you too :)
thanks for your prayers steph - you're the best and i'm blessed to have you on my "side" (praying-wise!)
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Marcia!
You've been gone for so long! Please come back. We miss you!
