Not only is this wild, exploratory trip to Turkey an adventure, but so is getting there. An adventure indeed, to every end. Last week I learned that we might be visiting Bulgaria! Not confirmed yet, but that's what this trip looks like: lots of traveling (mostly by bus), new relationships, feeling out our direction, loads of flexibility, and a crap ton of willingness to follow God wherever he leads us. That's what I'm most excited about, to have this happen constantly - "Ah, no! This didn't turn out like we planned." "Shooot. Let's ask God what to do, yeah?" When our group first prayed together for the trip, my prayer was that everything that could would go wrong. Every hiccup, every bump in the road. Let's have wild dreams for this thing, yet be completely open for God to turn it upside down. It's inevitable with all the traveling, closeness, and discomfort we have in store that at points some of us will be miserable, frustrated, angry, freaked out. Awesome! That's where cool things happen. That's where we get to pick each other up, grow closer with each other and God, LIVE LIFE - and where all the wildest stories come from! Hooray!
Tonight is our Wednesday night Turkey meeting.
This is the update I'll be giving the group -
The state of things:
- Ground fees due NOV. 15th: $465 (a solid knock-down since last post!)
- Spending money still needed: $600
- Grand total needed: $1,065
I need prayer for:
- Funds to come in. I want to be able to say that, YEAH. I volunteered full-time, and I got to pioneer a ministry outreach to Turkey, fully funded! Please help me out if you can!
- Guidance in preparation, fundraising, and how to pray for this thang.

Huge THANK YOU to all who have been praying and encouraging me (you know who you are). It stokes my motivation and keeps me goin'!
