Hey guys! I want to start out with a huge thank you for all
of the support that you have given us! We have definitely felt the prayer
support, and your financial contributions have made it possible for us to go on
this trip. There is no way to tell you all how thankful we really are and how
blessed we have been from all of your support!
For
those of you who don’t know, we will be flying out Saturday morning at 10:30.
We will be flying through Chicago, Zurich, arrive in Belgrade at 9 am Sunday,
and finally drive down to Prokuplje with Rodja and his family! We are very
excited to get going, and would greatly appreciate prayers for safe travel and
for clear, fresh minds when we finally arrive.
Today
we had a final planning meeting where we discussed our goals for the trip, and
a few specifics on what we would be doing. Our main goal is to encourage the
people while we are there and to help raise up new leaders and disciple-makers.
Our goal is to make disciples who will in turn make disciples who make disciples,
etc. The Bible teaches that every Christian is a disciple maker, and we want to
make sure that we are growing His kingdom: a community of the Body of Christ
that will be able to reproduce itself long after we have come and gone.
With
that in mind, we ask for prayer for everything. That our conversations would be
seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6), that we would patiently preach the Word (
2 Timothy 4:2), that we have humility (Philippians 2:3-5), and that above all
else, that we would seek the Glory of God in everything we do (Philippians
2:10-11, Isaiah 26:8)
Thank you again for all of your support!
In Christ’s love,
Caitlin
I know something big is on the horizon. Stumbling blocks don't get put in front of people who aren't likely to shine for God's glory!!
