Saturday morning, we head to her country to tell her people about Jesus!

A team of 27 people, ages 13 to 58 have surrendered to take the Gospel to Mexico. While the majority of people on this team are students, there are 6 adults that are 25 or older. Most of them are not in leadership roles, but are acting as team members, excited to be going to talk to others about Christ.

The team are from around the USA. Some are meeting us in Tulsa and joining our drive down, others are flying to a border town where we will pick them up.

Please lift this team up as I believe the Lord has unique plans for us. Awe Star has been doing ministry in Nuevo Laredo for over 15 years. The church there we work with is precious, as are the people. We have many solid friendships that have formed through the years with them.

Please pray for safety in travel, for safety as we move in and among the ever growing population of this border town, where many assemble in hopes of crossing into the US. We have always had His protection here, even though the news would tell you otherwise. Still, we want to be wise, and make good decisions while away.

Please lift up Marti Pieper as she excitedly anticipates her first mission trip with us, though her children have been on many, around the world. I know the Lord will use her greatly!

I believe we will have much to share upon our return.

With the time you might normally spend to come and visit this site, we would appreciate it if you would use that to remember to pray for this team.

Deanna will be flying to Houston to visit an old friend and speak to a women's group. Please lift her up as well as we will spend this week (her Spring Break) apart. Whitney is driving to Indy to visit her fiance and Lauren will be here, working. Whitney will be celebrating my Mom's Birthday with her on March 18th. Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Godspeed,
