I'm not sure, but i think just about everyone who reads this already knows i'm going to Germany for three weeks. If you didn't know, consider yourself told. The long story is; my dad used to work on a ship (called the Doulos, part of Operation Mobilization ministry) after college that went around the world spreading the gospel. He's wanted to take us onto the ship to participate in what he did, so now my parents, sister and I are going to be in Kiel, Germany for three weeks. We are going to be helping prepare the new Logos Hope ship for service. I have no idea of what we'll be doing beyond that description.
I would appreciate any prayers anyone could offer. I will be missing so much at school (i got cleared with the teachers since it's a missions trip and i go to the best school in the world, but i'm bringing all my books with me.). Not just the regular work, but stuff like sprirt/spiritual emphasis week and stuff like that. I've never trusted God with so much before. This is probably the biggest leap of faith I've ever taken, to date. (I'm not sure how you measure that btw). I hate letting anyone down, but i'm trusting God will teach me a lot these next few weeks.

Tomorrow: 8AM-4PM: getting to Philly, 6PM-eight hrs later: get to Frankfurt, Germany (not sure of our flight times or how to measure the time difference (6hrs ahead) into calculating time)
Sunday: take the scenic route to Kiel. The scenic route being by way of the Rhine river, a castle or two, and the concentration camp where Anne Frank was killed.


I will blog as often as i can while i'm there.

God is funny. I was kinda nervous this morning, thinking about going to Germany, and then we read this verse as an introduction to the passage, in chapel this morning:

Matthew 8:23 "Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him."
