Countdown begins. In earnest. For real. 39 days until we leave the country.
The quiet before the storm…..
Er, not exactly. An eight week missions trip for 14 people to 8 different countries in Souteast Asia is by no means planned in one meeting….or one pot of coffee. So much planning:
Transportation, plane tickets, passports, visas, health regulations, packing, continuing to supervise Headquarters and Wharehouse while being out of the country, planning speaking engagements….meeting with different international Christian aid workers, working with various ministries…conecting with leaders……..shall I go on? Packing clothes, resources, basic needs, planning lodging for each country. Stuff for the kids to do on the 17 hour plane ride, balancing weight restrictions for tight luggage space, international phone plans, and so much more that I can’t even begin to eleaborate on.
Feeling overwhelmed just reading this? God is able, His Grace is sufficient and nothing is beyong His provision.
Keep the group in prayer as we embark on this journey. Check out our latest Asia Clip link below to catch a glimpse of what we’ll be doing in Southeast Asia this next few months…
Blessings,

Hmmm...
Who here is rather fed up with the weather lately? It won't heat up here in the west, then out in California it can't decide which way it'll go. I can't say anything about the east coast because everyone knows about the situation there. =D One country has so many different faces. Culture, food and climates. Not to mention the people. Different accents, skin color and so much more!
And then you widen your perspective a little. Look there. And there. Oh, and over there. And everywhere. All over the world people are ignorant of what He did to save us. Another thing is, God said he will not fulfill His promise of a new heaven and a new earth until all have learned the news,whether they accepted or not. How will they learn if there is no one to tell them? How shall they hear if no one speaks? If we ever want to be counted as true children of God, striving constantly to glorify His kingdom now and as it will be, then we should probably follow one of His greatest assurances.

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40)Now don't mistake me here. I'm not saying to pack your bag's and head of to Zambia right now. By starting with the little things, (1. Helping the Lady with triplets at the store get her cart. 2.Making sure the Elderly Gentleman has a place to sit on the bus. 3.Getting that Little Lost Boy at the Mall back to his mom...etc.) you are showing a Christian attitude and spreading the Gospel a new way . Not to mention 'Doing it to the Least of these.'

Welcome Back :)
Welcome back to Govjrcrew!!!
In the brief break in which we left you all hanging: here's the scoop on GOV's latest:
As of This Morning:
Generations of Virtue Team has saftly deposited the near-empty trailer: Shamoo in our garage. Shamoo is hibernating until January! There was a mix of feelings as he was tucked up...joy, at having completed another successful season of conferences, and relief too.
Now that the Conference season is done, this doesn't mean that GOV is just hanging out until January. Ohhh no...this is just half of the year gone by so far. Now that US national convention season is pretty much done, GOV moves on to the International Ministry side of things.
As we interview Katherine Lockhart, Director of Marketing:
"So, Katherine. What are you up to now that Shamoo is asleep?" (Bri)
"I am: organizing her desk while simultaneously planning and packing for Christian Forex's Pilot Trip." (Katherine)
Katherine is flying to Asia with two high school students from here in the Colorado area for a two week on ground ministry adventure. As they countdown the days (they fly out in a week), Katherine had some prayer requests to keep in mind.
"As the students and myself are preparing for this missions trip, pray for safety as we travel international, health and God's provision. As huge as this undertaking is, we're very excited and can't wait to see the fruit that this will produce." (Katherine)
If your interested as a student, or know of one who may be interested, we encourage you to check out Christian Forex's website to learn more about upcoming missions trips and how you can become involved.
