Away We Go!

Posted in Historical Adventures and tagged with , on November 6, 2009

Today at 1 PM we’ll be boarding our first plane on our way to Turkey!  I won’t be able to update as regularly while I’m gone as I’d like (though I’ll try), so I’ve scheduled posts each day of what our original plans were for that day so you’ll know how to pray for our group.

We’ll be traveling from noon Eastern today until 7 AM Eastern tomorrow (2 PM at our destination).  Please pray for smooth sailing (metaphorically only, I hope not to see the ocean that intimately!) and an easy trip through both of our connecting airports, especially since our connection at JFK is tight.  Pray also that God will provide us opportunities to show His love to those we come in contact with and that we will recognize and take advantage of them.

I look forward to updating you further.  Remember as I tell you our schedule, we are 7 hours ahead of the East coast (8 ahead of Central, 9 ahead of Mountain, and 10 ahead of Pacific), so we’ll be starting our day about when you go to bed the night before.  Obviously, that will give us a bit of jet lag (okay, that’s generous…jet lag can be a bear!), so that’s another prayer request: that God will give us extra grace to handle it with patience and strength so that we can transition quickly to focus not on our own needs, but the needs of our teammates and the workers over there.
