Christmas photo countdown

I think I want to do a sort of countdown to Christmas, but with
stories and photos from this past year. Will you join in with me for
praying with those lives that have touched mine this year and have been
such a blessing. And hopefully along the way you will see and
“experience” ministry with me as well. My first story goes back to over
a year ago when we all met as a team for the first time in Gainesville,
Georgia. Team Africa was OVERWHELMINGLY large and we overran training
camp for sure! I remember when the students began piling off the bus I
thought, how am I going to learn 41 names and will I ever be able to
know each of these students on a personal level. While I was able to
master their names (not in the first week though), it definitely took
longer to get to know each one, and there are times I regret not
getting to know some more than others. None the less, each person on
the team ministered to me in some way and they were family, if even for
a short while. I am so thankful for their lives and offering to be
servant leaders to the least of these!

This photo was on the bus on our way to an ATL (Ask The Lord) session,
going into the community and asking the Lord what He wanted us to do
and how we could pray for others in the community. It was only the
beginning of many more memories to come!
