Ecuador Mission Trip

Tomorrow Bryan, Catharine, and I leave for Quito, Ecuador where we will spend our spring break on a medical mission trip.  We have all had a hectic week - I think satan likes to distract us that way and to bring us to tomorrow exhausted.  Since it is almost midnight and I have to wake up at 4:15 tomorrow, I'll be brief.

Prayer for the week:

  • safety: travel, dentistry, safe food, happy tummies
  • physical endurance: bending over patients who are sitting in tailgating chairs while you try to do dental work can be tough on your back
  • spiritual boldness: to share Christ with all those we encounter (both Ecuadorians and fellow students on the trip)
  • servant's hearts: flexibility and an others-focused attitude
  • relationships: bonding amongst the groups, new friendships to be made, and existing relationships to grow deeper
I will try to post an update or two throughout the week, although the wi-fi can be unpredictable.

Thank you in advance for your prayers!  We are so excited to have this opportunity to go and can't wait to tell you all about it!
