Its so crazy to think that I will be flying home in less than a day. This trip has flown by! Honestly, this feels like the fastest summer of my life. Likely this has to do with some combination of being in Australia, being on mission, and being a leader. It has been so great to be a part of this whole trip! I cannot believe that I have to say farewell to this place that I have come to love. I still have a few days before I have to say goodbye to my team, but I have already had to say my goodbyes to the aussies I came to know on the trip. It just amazes me that God is working in this country just as much as He is working in America. To live in a city on the other side of the world, and see people proclaim the name of the Lord is so liberating. There are people all over the world proclaiming the name of the Lord and believing in His gospel. People I will never meet, cultures I will never see, and places I will never go. Yet, all of these will be my brothers and sisters in heaven! It has been such a blessing being a part of this Australian culture and bringing the gospel to the people who don't know it. There are tons of brothers and sisters throughout the nations, but there are far more lost people there!
I have absolutely loved leading this team and being a part of it. It has just amazed me how close we have become and how much I enjoyed being a leader of it! I have learned and grown in so many ways on this trip. In knowing the Lord, making His name glorified, and growing in community are just the tips of the iceberg. I can't wait to share it with all of you and continue this life of growth that I have been able to live here. I cannot thank all of you so much for being a part of both my financial team and prayer team. Please continue to pray as our team wraps things up. Pray for our safe travels. Pray for our growth to continue. Pray for our lives to be radically changed. And please pray for all the seeds we are leaving behind in these Aussies. That is most certainly the hardest part. Pray that we can leave that to the Lord! I will blog when we get back in America again! I gotta go get packed now! Much love and thanks!
