Team Meeting #2

Well today we had our second meeting and it was really good. We got an idea of our schedule of what we will be doing each day of the trip. I couldn't help but get excited for the trip and as we got to the day we were going to leave I already found myself not wanting to leave and I haven't even gotten there yet. I do realize though that it is going to be difficult because they most likely will not open up to use at first or possibly even at all. We are trying come up with icebreakers before each of our meetings to help ease the tension. We will be working with the youth leaders during our meetings but there will be one day that we get to spend with all of the youth. We will be splitting up into pairs and sharing our testimonies/message at different churches in the area and will be expected to speak 20 - 30 minutes each. We will also be sharing our testimonies with the leaders of the youth. I have written mine down a few times and also told people but now I really need to fine tune it. My friend Chris will also help me with this (he took a perspectives class which has really helped him getting a better understanding of missions and sharing the Gospel). We will be sharing our testimonies with each other at the team meetings also to help us prepare. I ask that you pray for confidence for me and the team. I have never spoken in front of a church before and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Nervous or not I am still excited to go on the trip and see what God has planned for all of us.
