Finally I'm taking time to followup and tell you some news on the Egypt team. Sorry, I left my pictures at home but I will post them tonight.
They got off last Thursday with amazing answers to prayer. Here's some GOD sized wins:
For sure they will learn a new definition of flexibility. From my past experience with mission trips I know they will be changed individuals when they return. It's an exciting adventure when you choose God's ride.
As I track their itinerary each day I pray for them for the activities they will be doing and the traveling they have ahead of them. Ifyou choose to remember them in prayer keep in mind that they are 7 hours ahead of us.
Team members names to lift in prayer: John, Jared, Grant, Amy, Day, Lissa, Miranda
They got off last Thursday with amazing answers to prayer. Here's some GOD sized wins:
- All the money they needed for the trip (and more) came in before they left
- The orphan program stuff all fit in the suitcases
- The trip to the airport, good weather allowed the team to be there on time without any lines
- Several luggage bags were over the 50 lb. weight limit - no charge
Here are a few things I know:
I received word from DW that they had a delay in their flight arriving in Cairo, a longer ride than expected on the train to Luxor. They are tired from traveling but their spirits are high. They are looking forward to what God is going to do in and through them.For sure they will learn a new definition of flexibility.

Remember our trip this time last year and that Ted celebrated his birthday there, I am finding myself a bit envious and homesick for that sandy place. I miss how I heard and felt God when I was there.
We have been keeping the team in our thoughts this week and hope we get an opportunity to hear about thier trip. Please let us know if there is an event for that.

Hey T,
Remembering our time together is always special because of the awesome way in which God showed up and we were less because He was more real in that place. You and the rest of the team will always have a special place in my heart and life. I'm amazed at how God has helped me deal with the agony of not going..four words - amazing grace and joy. I will keep you informed for any debriefing meeting that they hold. It would be great if all the teams previously sent would attend. Hope all is well for TnT :-)
