Getting Ready!

We've got one week until we leave. In preparation, as a team we've looked at Mark 8 where Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ as a beginning point for us. Knowing and acknowledging that He is who He says He is we thought would be a good start. We used this as point in time that we could mark and say we are beginning this journey to Nicaragua with Jesus as the Christ in the lead and us as His children following His lead.

We also talked through Philipians 2 to learn about the attitude of Jesus Christ, and we will use this as our mindset heading into this trip. Conversation also turned to the section Mark 14 with the story of the woman who pours perfume on Jesus' feet. The context of the discussion was that this is a story where the woman does this great act of worship and service to Jesus but doesn't speak. Many of us will struggle with the language barrier while in Nicaragua and this scripture really was a great answer to that concern!

We will update this blog as often as we can while we are there. (July 11th-18th) Please keep checking for the updates and post a reply to your team!
