Almost there...

The time is drawing near. I looked at my calendar yesterday and realized that in one month I'll be traveling across the world. For an Alabama boy that's never been outside the US, that's a long way to go. In spite of all the uncertainty and lack of control that I have, I'm very excited. I know that God will use this trip in miraculous ways to change my heart and the hearts of others.

I have good news! Matt and Brian (the dudes in charge) just got back from Sydney and found a place for us to stay. We will have 2 one bedroom apartments in downtown Sydney for the time that we're there. It will be close quarters, especially for the guys, but as those of you that have been to summer beach project know, we can manage. It's an extremely strategic location because it's right in the middle of everything. God provided in a HUGE way.

More good news! My personal support raising is going very well. For the first time all semester I'm right where I should be. I've got about $4300 turned in, and about $5500 including verbal commitments! I'm almost there! This is an amazing testament to God's faithfulness. I can look back a month, even at posts on this blog, and see how direly I needed God to step in and provide and he did. We truly serve an awesome God.

As well as things are progressing in my support raising, some of the members of my team are struggling. The majority of us don't have all the money we need right now, and it's weighing heavy on all of us. Please pray for them that God would provide. The plane tickets have been purchased and there's no turning back now. It's just a matter of God following up his plan with the resources to accomplish it, and he always does.
