Going West...

I will be leading a group of eleven people on a Mission's Trip to Oakland, CA. Please pray for us. I think the trip is going to stretch our teams in a lot of ways. Hanover is a small town and greatly lacks diversity. Oakland is the most diverse city in America. Many of these kids have had little or no exposure to non-white people. Hanover is a conversative town, the Bay Area isn't. Pray our team will be willing to listen to those who view life differently. Pray God would open their eyes up to the diverse cultures God has created to reflect who He is. In Oakland we will put on a Bible Camp on behalf of All Nations Presbyterian Church. Pray God would use this opportunity to help All Nations be the hands of Christ in the Oakland community. We will also spend time praying for All Nations and the various ministries they partner with in the Bay Area. Lastly, pray for me. I am leading the trip. I have put a lot of work into it. But, my fear of failure, the unknown and disappointing others has been powerful lately. I have been driven by fear and not by the knowledge that God will use me despite what will happen.
