19 DAYS.

     We are leaving for Vladivostok, Russia, in two and a half weeks - 19 days. That's either an eternity or  no time at all, depending on how you look at it.
      Three of us finally have our visas; Emily does not yet have hers because she didn't have the money to apply, and now that she does, the embassy is closed because their Christmas break is different from ours. We are going to buy our plane tickets this week.
     We met today and asked God how he wants us to pray and how he wants us to ask others to pray for us. Here are some specific prayer points:
         ~ That all of our finances would come in
         ~ Favor with the Russian Embassy and fast processing of Emily's visa application
         ~ Communication between team members
         ~ Unity in the team
         ~ Safety in traveling and for the time spent there
         ~ That we would all have hearts focused on our mission and ready to serve
         ~  Favor for the journey: in the airport, that our flights would be on time and our luggage wouldn't be lost; that it would be a stress-less journey.
         ~ That God would be preparing the hearts of the people we're going to talk to and that they would be open to Jesus!

     We are excited for what God is going to do in and through us and would appreciate your prayers as we continue to prepare. Jesus, this trip is yours! 

           Rachel for the team.
