Our home church wil be sending a 7 member prayer team down here from Sept. 29-Oct. 7. We are sooo excited to have them here. This will be a special team, the vast majority of all that they will be doing is praying. They will be the first team to visit us and will have the opportunity to help launch our work in prayer together, on-the-ground.
We will also be starting an “Hora Feliz” while they are here. Literally translated as “Happy Hour”, it’s basically a time in the park where we gather children with clowns, tell stories, give things away, sing songs, and have fun. As we continue this throughout the year, we’ll gradually get to know some parents and we’ll see where God leads.
We’re also really excited to have this team here because they are from our home church. We are an extension of our church here in La Plata, being sent out from them. I’m so glad they will be coming to visit. It will be good to see them and to hear how all is going back home.
Another cool thing they will be doing is blogging here, on MissionUrban, about their experiences. Some of them will begin blogging pre-trip about their preparations, why they chose to be on the team, and what God is doing in their lives. While on-the-ground every team member will be blogging at least once a day, so you’ll be able to follow closely whats happening.
Stay-Tuned!

Brian and Tara,
It is hard to believe that we will be with you in less than a month. Looking forward to what God has in store for all of us.
