Proverbs 16:9

Well folks, if any of you first looked up the verse in the title, you probably have all experienced at some point multiple times where you've planned something out, (maybe even what you thought God was leading you to do) but God closed the door and in turn opened another. At Teen Missions we always half heartedly joke (but are serious on the other half) that you're never officially on a specific team until that plane leaves the runway. So it is for me this year.

We here at TMI have been praying for head leaders for the Haiti Orphanage team for quite some time as the previous allocated head leaders are unable to attend this summer. It is the largest team out of both Bootcamps with 29 kids. From what I know of Haiti, it can be a rough, and even in some places, dangerous country. It's not going be what we would refer to as a "Holiday Inn" team. Anyhow, as I'm sure you've figured out by now if you didn't already know, is that I've been asked to step aside from Ecuador preteen and be the head leader to Haiti along with another lady who is being pulled off an Africa team to be the head female. This is really an intimidating thing for me as I've never led a teen team before, let alone having 29 kids on one! It's also a really construction based project so that's not really my forte either. All I know is, that God is giving me a peace about it and I'm pretty much the only viable option they have (pretty obviously or I don't think they would have asked, hah!) I'm just trusting the Lord, knowing that He must have something great for this team, and Satan is trying to hit full blast to keep it from happening.

I covet your prayers in this matter so much and am truly thankful to those of you that I know do pray for me all the time. I know that I could not do it without them and I know that God is really going to be teaching me many things as well, especially in trusting Him fully. I have to admit that when I was asked to go to Ecuador I felt pretty comfortable with the idea. It had become my comfort zone. 1. Preteens 2. Going to a TMI base 3. Small team and 4. Simpler projects It was such a shock to find out so late though and now I feel in a rush to get everything done as Haiti is an Early Bootcamp team. (Meaning it will start two 1/2 weeks sooner than I would have been) So I will be entering into Bootcamp June 6th and leaving for Haiti on June 22nd in the morning. After the project and debrief end, I'll be finished on July 28th.
