Time to Go

TRIP DATES:  SATURDAY, MARCH 19 - SATURDAY, MARCH 26
Well, it's the night before we leave.  We have gone through the checklists, packed our suitcases, said our good-byes to family and friends, and now it's time to get some sleep before waking up at oh-dark-thirty to meet at the church.  But our minds won't let us sleep...thinking about whether we remembered to pack everything, thinking about how wonderful the four hour school bus ride to the airport in Dulles will be, wondering what we find when the plane lands in Honduras....and wondering what God has in store for us all.  How could it be time to leave already?  We just started planning the trip, sending out support letters, participating in fundraising events, and attending meetings to go over the details of the trip.

I sincerely believe God has a plan for us - a purpose for our lives - and it always involves loving and serving others.  Please pray for our journey this week - pray that God will open our hearts, eyes and ears to see the needs of others and be able to minister to them - pray for our safety and health - pray that God will lead us to the ones who need us most - and that our lives will be changed forever this week.

SATURDAY ITINERARY:
Meet at DBCS at 6:00 am - pack up school bus - leave at 6:30 am to drive to Dulles Airport in Washington, DC. Flight leaves at 3:50 pm EST and arrives in San Pedro Sula, Honduras at 8:30 pm CST.

The journey begins.  Join us each evening as we post our adventures, stories and pictures of the day.  Comment on our posts and let us know that you are thinking & praying for us.

    We'll be praying for you and Jessie and the team. I was thinking it wasn't until the first week of April that you were leaving! Gracious! Have a blessed time!
