Truthfully, the trip hasn't really sunk in for me yet. The idea that almost a year's worth of planning, mistakes, roadblocks, successes, and failures has come down to just 48 hours of waiting...it just is to much for me to grasp right now. Whether I finally grasp the reality of it or not, our group leaves this Wednesday June 1, at 10 A.M. We have spent the last couple of days preparing our bags, talking over final details, and of course sharing a very loud conversation over a few roles at O'charleys. Our team has grown from a handfull of public and private school kids to a close nit team that will only grow closer as we are crammed into a plane for 17 hours. I believe I speak for everyone when I say this has gone from just an adventure, to being the full outflow of God's devine hand. We understand that there are trials ahead, that we won't always get along, and that sometimes taking up the last of the hot water will seem like the end of the world...but we know through it all God has his hand on us.
What I ask now is this. That you stay with us every step of the way. I know physically that is absurd, but spiritually it is more than possible. We need your prayers now more than ever. It is in God's name we go, so in God's name we ask that you send us. Ask for us strength when we don't feel like getting up, patience when things don't go our way, peace for the times our hearts are burdened, hope for the days when all we see is hopelessness, and finally a strong tailwind so our flight arrives on time!
Thank you all for your support and love over these last few months, and the weeks left ahead.
In Him,
Michael Tyree
