Blog is up!

Hey everybody! Welcome to our blog =D This blog is set up so that we can report all of the great things God will be doing through, in and with our group, so swing by every now and then to check this page out for the inside scoop on God's mighty works!

Right now, we're still very much in the planning and preparation stages, but we've already seen how God has really pulled this team together. Originally, this team was supposed to be supported by another group who was going to build a water filtration system in a village in Benin, but things didn't work out for that group. This trip was incredibly close to being cancelled until Hang Kit and Simon expressed interest, and Giselle, Janet and Cedric joined the team just in time, with literally only one day to decide! It's awesome to see how God saved this trip from going down the drain.

So far, there isn't much to report, but it certainly does not mean that God's Spirit is not at work yet. Everything is being set in place by the Spirit, who is definitely ready to make a huge impact on both the Beninese people and our team going there. Please pray for us so that we would have confidence and boldness in sharing the love of Jesus to these precious people.

"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ...Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should." - Colossians 4:2-4
