Prayer requests

With less than two weeks to go, there are plenty of things on our hearts that we would really appreciate prayer for:
- getting through the language barrier and culture shock
- safe and smooth travel both to and within Bolivia
- any anxieties we may have for travelling so far away
- the team's health
- that any final preparations go smoothly including acquiring the right kit and preparing material to share with the Lutheran church and youth
- for Linda and Pete Lugtigheid (the long-term Latin Link workers in Apolo) and their family as they prepare to host us
- pray for Apolo and the work of the Lutheran church there. Thank God that He has gone ahead of us and sown seeds to be developed whilst we are there. That we would be attentive to how God wants to use us

Thank you so much for supporting us!

Orientation this weekend

So the trip is scarily close now, and this weekend we are all heading down south for our orientation weekend, so we can really gel as a team and sort out all the final details. Prayer for safe travelling and a good, productive weekend would be much appreciated.

Meet the team - Aaron


The next of the team profiles, our male team leader, Aaron:
Hello! I'm Aaron and I'm a first year engineer at Jesus College, and I'm also supposed to be one of the leaders of our team! I can't wait for our mission trip, as I'm really looking forward to sharing God's love with others in a different culture, and I'm really excited by what awesome things God is going to do out there. (Fortunately God is quickly replacing the fear in my heart with excitement for this trip!) I did GCSE spanish which is now turning out to be a blessing, and I'm most looking forward to the practical building project and the work with children. Thank you for your continuing support through prayer!
