Praise God! He is so good. There is so much good news, I suppose I'll start with our team raising enough support for EVERY student to go. The news came as we all gathered in the hall of our dorm, and joy came out in cheers and applause. I clapped and cheered for my friends and teammates who we all had been praying for, and I savored the moment in which God faithfully answered our prayers. Only by God's grace could a $60,000 deficit be overcome, and I rejoice for others as this burden is lifted off their minds, and their faith is rewarded. I am privileged to serve alongside with every one of my teammates this summer, even if we encounter some snags along the way.
On another note, we were commissioned off this afternoon, and I was joined by my Mom, my Dad, my little sister Juliet, my older sister Brittany, her husband Josh, and their dog Azuki. I was grateful to have my family come out to see me off, and I felt strengthened by their love and support.
My last bit of good news is about our victory against the San Francisco Summer Project team in a football game rematch tonight. We came out high in spirits from the good news, and in the last play of the game, Chris Bandy scored the winning (and only) touchdown with an interception.
In 3 hours we will be heading to the airport to catch our 8 AM flight. I give thanks to God, my family, and friends whose love has gotten me here. Briefing proved to have unexpected challenges, but God made his glory apparent all the more. As much as I praise God for what He has done this weekend, it is a frightening kind of anticipation to know that project hasn't even started.
