3 Weeks Away!!!
Well, three weeks from right now, I'll be on a plane with 40 other people from Vaughn Park, wingin' our way out to San Diego, where we'll drive on down across the border into Mexico for 6 days of ministry in the Baja village of Maneadero. The excitement is mounting and my heart is beginning to race just thinking about it!
The past few weeks, I've been trying to prepare myself both mentally and physically for the trip. Physically, I really wish I was in better shape, because we'll be outside in the heat most of the time we're there. Our plan is to build 2 houses, 3 outhouses, and a playground, along with conducting a Vacation Bible School and a Revival in the evenings. As I have said before, THIS IS NOT A VACATION! Although I'm not in the prime physical condition that I wish I was in, I've been able to build up an endurance for working outside in the heat over the last couple of weeks by getting some much needed work done around the house. Meloney has kept me busy by totally redoing the outside of our house (replacing bad wood, hanging shutters, repainting everything, etc.). When I get done, the house will look great and I think I'll be ready for some more work helping the people of Mexico.
I have also tried to stay in shape spiritually. I've been spending a lot of time in God's word, as well as spending some time with some of my favorite authors: Max Lucado, Charles Swindoll, and Mike Cope, just to name a few. God has really been blessing me through these brothers, and I've been spending a lot of time with him in prayer as well.
I ask that you do the same. PLEASE continue to pray for me as I study God's word and prepare for this trip. Also, keep the whole team from Vaughn Park as we are getting ready for some serious work for the Kingdom of God!
