On Friday evening, strangers sat around the dinner table filling the air with small talk. Conversing and racking our brains for questions to ask these people we would live life with for the next two months. The next few days kept us busy building shelters we needed to trust to sleep in, making banners representing our team as a whole, play-act witnessing to a tribe that knew no English and spit water in your face, and using teamwork to succeed at the various activities planned for us. Overcoming the awkwardness and diving deeper into each others stories has brought us together. Today, looking around at my team members, I see the many gifted parts working together as one body with the desire and passion to serve Him. I have no doubt that together this team will step out with confidence to serve the God we all love so dearly.
1 Corinthians 12:21 The eye can never say to the hand, "I don't need you." The head can't say to the feet "I don't need you."
