Being Sent

I am so honored to have been chosen by God through GlobalX to lead this Connections trip to Southpoint Church in Cape Town, South Africa! I treasure my experience that I had on my first trip there last year and can't wait to return to this wonderful people, church, city and country.

When our team first started meeting, there was a theme that surfaced…that GOD CHOSE this team to be SENT BY HIM to Cape Town. What an amazing perspective that is ! I pray that we consistently focus on that, which will bring us outside of ourselves, thus allowing the Lord to do what He wants to through each one of us individually and collectively.

The vision and goals of this trip include:

• To leave Southpoint Church's leadership and volunteers more rejuvenated, more refreshed, more excited for what God is doing in Cape Town than they were when we got there
  
• To accomplish the above through prayer, relationship building, encouragement, service and celebration
  
• To build a team that is unified, positive, ready to go and eager to see what God has in store
• To allow God to foster spiritual and relational life change for each member of the team
• To strongly rely upon and yield to the Holy Spirit for guidance in preparation and to dictate the "agenda" during the trip
• To serve the community through Southpoint's Intersect partner ministries
• To have a ton of fun in the process!!!

As we have been preparing, we have gotten to know each other and are learning about prayer and the Holy Spirit. We have spent and will continue to spend time in prayer, speaking out so much to the Lord.

We leave in less than 5 weeks! Our hope is to use this blog to introduce ourselves to you, our friends at Southpoint, and to use it as a way to share prayer/support needs (yours and ours). We want all involved to know that when we land in Cape Town that we will collectively have been supported by a history of intentional prayer and focus.

We yield to the Holy Spirit and are eager to BE SENT!
