Safe at Home

Good morning,
All of team one made it home last night to Dallas and all but one person received their luggage.

I spoke with Tim late last night and he said that all is going well with team 2. The construction is going really well and the team is really excited to be there and in very high spirits.

How can you pray today?
- Continued prayer for team 1 as they adjust back to life here in Dallas. Pray for rest and to try and carry on with life as usual. After a trip like that, one can experience a mix of emotions and one of the most common is loneliness. They are used to being so closely knit with their team for 10 days and then all of a sudden they are back home, alone and the normal buzz of the team is replaced with silence. The other common feeling is confusion about what they saw and how blessed they are here in the U.S...and what to do with that feeling? Pray for them as they wrestle with these difficult emotions and that the Lord would draw each of them closer to Him through that process.

- Pray for the luggage to arrive for the individual on team 1

- Team 2 is finishing up their day of work so pray that their efforts, actions and words would make an eternal impact on that community.

- Continued prayer for one team member who is still quite sick with a sinus infection and just very uncomfortable.

- Praise God for bringing team 1 safely home. Praise Him for the work that He will do in each of their lives through this experience. And praise Him for the provision of team 2 to have an opportunity to get out of their comfort zone and love on people in great need of hope.

Thanks for your prayers and for checking in with us!
