A big THANK YOU to everyone that came out Monday night for the commissioning service. It was great to see the drama's that will be shown on the trip, and to hear from the heart of the students. We are amazed at the group God has assembled, and excited to see how we will all be used.

We have talked to several parents of late, and a theme seems to be that this is a surreal experience. Perhaps it will take us actually landing on Guatemalan soil for us to believe this is happening. How incredible it is to be at a school that provides the opportunity for us to partner with others in proclaiming and living out the Kingdom of God. It is exciting to share with others the Truth of who Christ is, and that there is another way to live in this world; to bring hope in the midst of a world still in the grip of Death. It is our prayer and hope that we can become keenly aware of the ways that we are called to be God's people in our own country through this experience; to bring Him glory. We hope for hearts to be broken, questions to be asked, and character changed.

Yours In Christ
