all my bags are packed

Actually, they aren't. But they're about to be.

Tomorrow morning, another intrepid group of mission-trippers heads out of the Geist Christian Church parking lot. This is the third group trip, and our fourth hurricane relief venture (counting my solo tour at First Christian, Tyler TX). Destination: Gulfport, Mississippi.

The really exciting part is that 6 of our 8 travellers are 'newbies'! I just love expanding the circle ... the more people who hear the story, see the reality, live the mission ... the more people come home as advocates, as leaders, as partners in comfort.

Keep in your prayers this week the seven folks adventuring with me:
Nolan & Marion Cooper
Janet Annest
Toby Westcott
Bob Jonason
Rod Howard
Shirley Wells

God be with you as we are apart, and God bring us together again soon.
