Disaster Avoided

Hello, friends!

As I'm sure you know, it is just a few more days until Megan and I leave for Cambodia to lead a team of students on a month long missions trip.  There have been many hours spent preparing and there are still many hours left to spend preparing but I wanted to give glory to God for the ways that he has already been providing for us and keeping us from disaster.

We had a passport issue that got cleared up.  A new passport application was sent in about 6 weeks ago. 4 weeks later it was returned to us saying that the documentation provided was incorrect.  To expedite the process (along with an extra $75), would be another 3 weeks, meaning the passport would be expected to arrive July 2, just days before we planned on leaving.  If anything went wrong during the process again, we would be in huge trouble.  Praise Jesus, the passport was processed quickly and was recceived June 18 with plenty of time to spare.

There was an issue with a summer school class that may have required a student to stay in the US during the month of July.  Obviously, that would have meant that the student couldn't go on the trip with us.  After talking with a few advisors and a few parents, the disaster was averted yet again and we have a full team heading with us to Cambodia.

One of the things we were going to do while we were in Cambodia was work with a group that helps free children from human trafficking.  Unfortunately, the organization double booked and the other group was from their home church so we were suddenly looking for a way to fill up 4 days on the trip.  Thankfully, we had one of our students knows some missionaries in Cambodia and we were able to figure out an alternate plan. 

I could spend many more paragraphs talking about the ways that God has come through in a lot of different situations but you get the idea.  Megan and I firmly believe that some of what is happening is spiritual warfare.  But our God is greater.  Would you please continue to pray for us as we make final preparations these last few days?  Pray specifically for protection from spiritual warfare for us as well as our students.  Our God is greater.

Have an excellent day!
