In preparation for this mission we attended a Pre-Field Orientation conducted by the Discover the World Short Term Missions staff at Cherry Hills Church back in February. We did some team building exercises which included various scenarios to help sensitize us to what we may experience in real world situations on the mission field. Differences in language, food, access to certain conveniences would be put to the test. We were given a phrase during this training that was repeated throughout the day: "We make plans and they WILL change." This is not just a cute catchphrase. It's true.
Our group was suppose to leave all together on one flight from Denver and fly non-stop to London. Those plans have changed. We are NOT flying together as one group. We will be on various flights leaving Denver today. If all goes according to plan we will all arrive in London tomorrow morning where we will then board the same plane and fly as one group to Prague.
There's a lot you can pray for: logistics of checking in 93 individuals on 4 different flights in Denver, luggage and other equipment making it on the correct flights for each leg of the trip, flight connections happen the way they should and that we ALL arrive in London tomorrow morning to continue together to Prague. WHEW!!! I'm getting tired just thinking about.
Your prayers on our behalf are valued and appreciated. I am confident that the Lord is in the middle of this and I trust Him. I believe this momentary inconvenience cannot begin to compare to what He has in store for us on this journey.
Check back for another update on Saturday morning.
