PRE-DEPARTURE REFLECTIONS: 50 DAYS TO DEPARTURE

It's 50 days -- approx 1200 hours to our departure! It's much sooner than you think!

At this point, I'm still VERY excited about the mission trip. Hmmmm... but before that what's up?!?! RIOT II!! I'm looking forward to this event! Hopefully everything runs smoothly and according to plan. But in order for this event to succeed! We need EVERYONE's support! So, do invite ALL your friends to come and support this event! (: It's going to be a blast so don't miss out on such an awesome event!

Above all this enthusiasm, I'm sure many of us are still afraid of what to expect during this mission trip. We have many worries as we would be away from our parents and from our comfy homes. However, just remember what was said in the bible. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave nor forsaken you." (Deuteronomy 31: 6-7) When in doubt, never forget that God is ALWAYS with you. Although you can't see him or hear him, he IS THERE! So pray to him, ask him for help and for courage to meet the challenges that await you in this trip. Let him be your guide! (:

And now, I know many of us are pretty stressed out over our results. So take a moment to look at this picture . (:

Hi Thanks for this reflection. I think many in the team need it! I certainly need it - given that I am your main formator - because your parents have entrusted the safety and well-being of everyone of you to me and the other adults of this mission trip.
