20 Days and Counting. . .

20 days until we leave for the "Land Down Under"! I can hardly believe it's true! Great days are ahead and I can just imagine all the amazing lessons we get to learn, people we get to meet and ways that we get to serve our Lord!

As God continues to help us prepare for ministry with our brothers and sisters in Australia, here is our basic schedule so far:
  • July 6-8: En route to Brisbane; arrive in Brisbane 6AM July 8
  • July 8-13: Wild and Wacky Week with the kiddos and teens in Logan, Queensland (QLD)
  • July 13-23rd: Ministering with Maryborough, QLD community public schools and church of the Nazarene
  • July 24th: head back for the US and arrive back in Los Angeles before we ever left Brisbane (Do the math on that one- ha!)

This is the prayer of our hearts- to fulfill the Lord's greatest commandments in Matthew 22: 38-40:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
