My first missions trip

Have you read Psalm 66 lately? A lot of healthy hope in that chapter. Check it out. To end it all, the psalmist rests, measures and reflects: “Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!”

And as you reflect with me on the powerful peace of prayer to and love from our Creator, please remember me this week when you share time with Him.

I’ll be embarking on my first missions trip. :) Really.

In case you have not been following our newsletters (or read down to the ends of them—I know you’re busy), I will be traveling this Thursday to Santiago, Chile, with two other women to help organize the library of a missionary kid school there. To add to the original plan of culling, organizing, and cataloging, the recent earthquake shook things up quite a bit more. For photos taken by one of the teachers, Jean Armstrong, check out this album.

One of the women in the group, Dr. Bev Monroe, was my professor of Children’s Literature years ago during my undergraduate work at Cedarville. I will also get to meet one of her ministry side-kicks, Ginger Kirk.

All of this adventure I plan to share with you as I blog along the trip. It would be a huge help to me, too, if those of you who are able to subscribe to blogs (via RSS feed or other means) would do so in order that I do not have to send out an email every time I update the blog—my goal is to do so far more often than I currently do. I would love to have you come along with me—for company’s sake and for prayer as well.

Thank you so much. Tia
