1 Month until Bosnia

YIKES!

I'm so excited to go to Bosnia again! I met the team of students that are coming with us... 24 of them. They are all really great students and excited to serve this summer but I'm not going to lie, it was a little intimidating to see them all together and wonder, "How am I going to get all these people through the airport, and feed them all, and care for them spiritually?" But i know God will take care of us. And the other staff coming with me are so great too!

I'm praying God will fund us all in time to go. Most students have less than $1,000 and they all need $3,600. So God will have to be working hard on our behalf. Plus did i mention we're already $3,000 in the red because of plane ticket prices jumping up $200 and the worth of the dollar is decreasing steadily making everything in Europe close to twice as much as it would be here. Well that's what we're up against so pray for our funding, that God would provide.

I'm not afraid because I know God is faithful. For example, I was praying for more students to come to our leadership training and there are 28 students, half are from the predominantly Black fellowship (which is an answer to recent prayers) and half are men (which is an answer to our prayers 2 years ago!) so God is faithful!!!!!

Our Spring Leadership Retreat is the last weekend in May and I'm thrilled to be with all our new leaders and the old to plan and vision for the next year!

And did I say i'm so grateful God is sending another staff, my friend, Marissa Newman, to UCSB? Well it's happening! YEAH! Pray for her funding so she can get here as soon as possible!
