Well its been too long since I have posted on this. The school semester has been pretty busy and I'm glad its over with. The dates for the mission have changed. It will now be in May after the spring semester gets out. The pastors in Congo will be in a conference out of country when we were planning to go in March. I turned in my application and first deposit last week. I still have a ways to go for all of the funding. I have a potential fundraiser in the works with O'Charleys. I just need to talk to the manager and find out what is going on with it. I completed the the introductory training that PC3 was requiring for all of their missions. It really open my eyes on spiritual preparation and how I should be praying for this mission. I was fasting one day out of every week for the mission but it was becoming just another thing in my week and losing its importance so I stopped it. I will fast more for this mission but closer to it. I am getting excited about the mission and what God has in store for it. As for team meetings I will not know anything until after the first of the year. So until then I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! God Bless!
