T-minus 2 Days!

Throughout our trip, we will be posting little snippets of life in Guate and ways that you can pray for Casa Bernabe - kids/staff and us. We made a prayer card to give to all of our friends and family, but just in case you didn't get it (our apologies)...this is it:

You can print it and put in on your fridge as a reminder to pray for us while you're pouring yourself a glass of ice cold milk.

These are our prayer requests for now:

• Pray for our families.


• Pray Psalm 37:5-6 over us.
  We want for Him to make us shiny - that we would be attractive especially to the girls we will be working closely with.


• Pray that we rest when it's time to rest, play hard when it's time to play and work hard when it's time to work. That whatever we do we do with a happy heart before the Lord.


• Pray that we would be a blessing to the staff and to the children. They are already a huge blessing to us.


• Pray that the funds/things/prayers you all have given would be multiplied...that we wouldn't hesistate if there's a need we know we can meet.


• Pray for our hearts, both while we are there and when we return.
  (After having love poured on you like syrup on pancakes, coming back is a hard pill to swallow. It's not that we don't like home...it's just different.)


• Pray for direction on future visits.

New Teammate

We would also like to welcome Jared Ong to the "A-Team." Jared will join us for the last week of our exciting adventure. What's really cool is that he's actually been to CB before and since we couldn't stop talking about it (see first post), he asked about coming along. If CB says yes, then we say absolutely!

Pray for him too. There's lots to do behind the scenes before you actually get on that plane.

Why in the world did you name this blog "The A-Team Missions"?

Great question: Just so you know, we aren't some sort of elitists. During the summer, there are larger mission teams that go to CB. They all wear t-shirts...or say they're with such and such team.

Well, since Ashley and I were on our own...and a family from California weren't part of a team either, we decided to form a team and name it!! The last movie we had seen before going to Guatemala was the A-Team...and really, that's all I could come up with. And it stuck. And we like it. :o)
