Countdown....Two Days

Two days.....tomorrow will be a busy day for those of us who are leaving Friday for Venezuela! Packing the final things into the suitcases, finalizing sermons and testimonies, making arrangements for things/plants/pets left at home. Then hopefully an early bedtime tomorrow night in anticipation of an early morning on Friday. The group from San Angelo flies out at 6:55am. That means we have to be at the airport at 4:55am.  That means we have to get up at.....how early??? Friday will be a day of travel, from here to Dallas where we will meet up with others from around the state who are members of the larger team of Texans participating in this evangelistic effort in Venezuela. Then on to Miami and eventually to Caracas.  Three of our lay missionary friends from Tennessee will join us in Caracas where we will all spend the night in a missionary house. Saturday morning we will be able to sleep in a little and after lunch we will fly on to the city of El Vigia in the state of Merida where we will be meet a couple more from New Mexico! From there, some of our team will stay in El Vigia to minister, more of us will drive on up the mountain to the city of Merida, and from there, a couple will travel on a little further up the mountain to Muccachies.

We will have the opportunity to meet with several of our Venezuelan friends who we have met on previous trips. We will meet Ricardo in Caracas when we arrive, and Alexander will meet with us Saturday morning before we fly on to Merida. Once we get to Merida, we will see our good friend, Ladimiro, who is organizing this portion of the trip. We will be working with him and his church.

I will try to post updates while we are there, but it is all dependent on where and when I can find internet service!

Please pray for the team that we all stay healthy and are able to reach the people who need Jesus.  Pray that we will be able to help the pastors and the churches there as we visit and share Christ with their friends and family members.  Pray that God will reach down and touch the hearts of those to whom we speak.  Pray that God will bless this effort, protect this team, and allow His name to be glorified in all that we do!
