3 Weeks to Go!

Hi again - We leave 3 weeks from today! We are getting very excited, and yet there are many small things to do yet in this short amount of time. Whenever I feel my stress level rising, God is quick to remind me that this is His trip and that He has it under control. What a relief!!

Unfortunately one person who has been training with us all these months, Norma, will not be able to travel with us. Several of us from Good Shepherd Church know Norma through her work with Rockwood Mom-to-Mom, and know her quality of character and commitment to the Lord. Norma is an invaluable member of our team, especially in helping with music and translations. We will miss her presence while in Argentina.

Our team is looking forward to visiting Norma's church tomorrow evening. Her congregation, a mix of Hispanic and non-Hispanic, has been supportive of her and of our team. We hope to introduce the team to her church, share about our trip to Argentina, connect with the people, and to express our appreciation for their support.

Please be praying at this time for our hearts to be filled with God's love for the people of Argentina, for each of us to be walking faithfully and closely with the Lord, and for our final preparations and details in these last few weeks.

In Him,

Kristi

Here are some pictures from our outreach weekend at Good Shepherd Community Church. The whole church joined in prayer for all the summer mission teams. A very sweet time!

Hello, Friends!

Our departure approaches, one day at a time, and as it does, our anticipation mounts.  Little by little, the details are completed.  We are practicing the songs that we will sing, our personal testimonies have all been translated.  We had the great pleasure of seeing Sarah Feeney two weeks ago, and that made our trip all the more real. 

Fund raising is progressing nicely, although much of the team is still short.  We thank you all for your prayers and for your support.  We appreciate it all, and as departure approaches, we feel the need for your prayers even more.  Pray that we will remember that this is not our team, and it is not about us.  Our effectiveness will directly correlate with our dependence on Him. 

Yours in Christ,

Bill = Guillermo Leslie
