And we're off!

Please keep us in your prayers as we head to Amsterdam on Friday for a mission trip. We will be gone for a week. The trip will include a lot of narrative mapping (approaching people on the street and striking up conversations to determine more about them as a people group etc...--we are working primarily with the Kurdish refugees--) The team is small with just 6 of us: David, the young marrieds director; Chad and Dena, friends of ours from another Sunday school class; Cynthia, a new friend; and us!

I have included a list of prayer requests below for those who want to pray for us.
