Guatemala (Miami Travel Day)
Today the Florida group made their way to Miami. We have 18 of us staying the night in Miami and we'll be up and ready to go at 5:45am! We all got to meet each other and have dinner tonight at the Cheesecake Factory. Most of our bags are packed, we'll finish weighing them in the morning and then our team is off to Guatemala.
The New York, Louisiana & Pennsylvania team members will begin their travels tomorrow. Please be in prayer for them as well. They will all arrive in Guatemala a tad bit later than us.
Thank you all for your continued prayers throughout this next week. We can't wait to share all the pictures & stories with you as God works in our lives!

Guatemala Devotions
Each of our team members received a Guatemala Daily Journal which includes a devotion for each day as well. The devotions began today:
Mission Team Ready... On your mark, get set.... Wait a minute, do you have all your equipment that you need for your trip to Guatemala? The equipment I am referring to is the "Full Armor of God". Check very closely to see if you have it!
In Ephesians 6:11-18, Paul tells us to put on the full armor of God, so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes. Have you faced any challenges while preparing for this mission trip? Spiritual forces are all around us and the enemy will try anything to attack us and get us unfocused from our mission. That is why we must be prepared! We must have faith and perseverance to the finish the work that God has set before us (James 1:4). Evil can keep us from finishing the race on our mission, but only if we let it. Be steadfast in prayer, having faith that God will order every step that you take before you embark on this joinery and throughout the journey to Guatemala.
Expect the unexpected while you are away in Guatemala. God has called each one of us on this mission team to be his hands and feet, sharing the love of Jesus with these wonderful people. Flexibility will be key and understanding that it's okay if things aren't going your way. Be humble and submit yourself to God, trusting that He is in control of your life (James 4:6-7). Which way this mission trip goes for you will depend on you. Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you respond to it. Ministering to the people of Guatemala will be a blessing and you can take part in winning souls for Jesus Christ. Will you submit today and set your pride off to the side?
My challenge to you is this: Will you put on the full armor of God and go with an open heart, allowing God to stretch you and use you in any way he pleases? If so, let us GO with perseverance, sharing the gospel and finishing our mission that God has set before us!
