Leaving Tomorrow

    Tomorrow Skyler and I are leaving for Brazil.  Our flight leaves at 11:57AM.  We are flying to Chicago, which we will stay at for about 9 hours.  After that, we will begin our 12 hour flight to Florianopolis.  Then, we will most likely take a bus to Rio Do Sul.  We're pretty nervous for the trip, so I've made a list of things you can pray for us about.

Prayer Requests:

1. Safety

    Although Skyler and I like to think we are brave adventurers fearlessly putting our lives in danger for the sake of Jesus, our families (and my girlfriend) would definitely appreciate it if we made it back safely.  Pray that our travels go well, we're safe while we're in Brazil, that we make it back safely, and that we can make it the whole way without getting sick.

2.Changed Lives

    This is the reason why we're going to Brazil.  We want to make a huge impact on these peoples' lives.  But not only that, we pray that

God will work through us.  Pray that he would change these lives for the better. (No Wicked joke intended)

3.Opportunities to Share the Gospel

    This prayer is closely tied to the last one.  However, as any one who has shared the Gospel might know, it's scary!  Pray for bravery for us.  Not only that, but we're going to be working closely with a lot of people in the Brazilian churches.  Pray that they also have the courage to share God's Word without fear.

    I hope that you all would keep us in your prayers throughout the duration of this trip.  I really love this verse in Philippians:

Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Thanks to everybody who will be taking time to read our blog and praying for us.  We'll try to keep you updated with all of the major events on this trip.  I have no doubt that God will amaze us with whatever he has in store.
