ONE WEEK

Only ONE week out from venturing to Turkey and Bulgaria! I cannot comprehend that this time next week I will be taking off from Oahu on my way to the opposite side of the world. Our team meeting tonight made the whole thing feel a little bit more real - going over airport procedures and our tentative itinerary - though none of us can easily believe it yet.

The state of things:
 - I have $125 left to raise in ground fees. 
 - I still need about $400 in spending money - this includes food and random needs.
 - Total needed: $525.


I need prayer for:
 - My family. My dad's health is very bad, and just getting worse. Please pray for provision, health, and unity for my family in this time. Trust, strength and determination to CHOOSE JOY when it doesn't seem possible. 
 - The finances needed to make this trip everything God's intends it to be.

I'm also shooting for the moon and asking - would anyone like to donate $180 for me to ship a surf board to Turkey? Typically on international outreaches anyone who can afford it will bring a board to use, and then upon leaving bless someone with it as a gift. We have some old boards here to bring, but I would love to buy a Wave Storm soft-top board from Costco to bring. They're fun boards, great for small waves and beginners or seasoned surfers alike. "Surfers giving back." They run at about $100. If you feel particularly inclined to make that happen, let me know. Your generosity would be going a long way! All the way across the world in fact.

Thank you to all who have supported me, in every way. I cannot express the love that I feel from every dollar, prayer, and word of encouragement given.
