Solomons and Stuff

Solomon Islands team now has a blog for when we are all on the road, as well as for when we actually get there! That blog can be found at godinsolomons.blogspot.com
I heard back from the Solomon Islands YWAM base the other day, it is a very small base. It turns out they have a team going up to Choiseul the same time as us. Whether we will connect with them or not is undetermined as of yet. But its an interesting opportunity. I think they want us to connect with them. However, we have a pastor setting up our outreach from Vanuatu, and this team will probably set up their own. So, its an interesting scenario that will take some prayer to decide!
I'm very excited for our trip though. God is really moving around base and we know our prayers are soaking the land and the people, getting the area ready for our arrival. God is truly going before us! Please pray if you feel inclined, its a very malaria prone area, worst in the world. There have only been a couple teams who have gone where NOONE got malaria, and they covered the land and team in prayer. I have complete faith that our prayers will combat malaria. Our God is far bigger than anything we will encounter on this earth! And having said that I really am not worried and am very faithful in Gods character. I know Gods favour is upon us. Its great being in Gods will, there is no safer place.
Thanks for your prayers and support. I do have another prayer need as well, which is finances for my plane ticket. You are all so supportive and I am so grateful. My monthly bill is always paid to the dollar. I'm just asking for prayers that God will provide the 1350 that my plane ticket will likely cost for the Solomons. On the base the team I lead pays for my ground fees and food, but the plane ticket is still my own cost! So that is my issue now. But God is a provider, and I think I'm going to be surprised about where it comes from. Even people around Brisbane that I've never met!!

Thanks so much, God Bless you all.
