Well, it is finally here. We are 4 days away from boarding the plane to head to Lisbon, Portugal. The team is getting so excited as we finish up the final preparations. Trunks are packed along with working out the smallest of details that must happen in the next 4 days.
So hard to believe we have not been overseas since the
fall of 2019, that was our last retreat.
Of course, the Portugal Retreat was scheduled for April of 2020 just
over three years ago when Covid showed up in full force working against travel
in country and out of country.
We are so glad to be traveling once again to minister to the
missionary women. Also, it has been fun
to be reminded of how many hands touch this ministry in preparation for a trip
to minister to the women. Whether you
are going with us or have helped along the way in preparations for this trip
you are part of the team serving Pure Joy International Portugal 2023! To all
of you that have given financially to support a missionary and or team member,
thank you. To all of you that are
praying for the missionary women and the team now and while we are on the
field, thank you. To all of you that
have helped with the gifting, thank you. To the team members representing
churches in 5 states, thank you. What a blessing
to be able to serve alongside all of you with your different hearts for
serving.
On a final note, please pray for the spouses, children, family
members, friends, etc., that are pulling extra weight both for the team members
and the missionaries so we can all attend the Retreat.
Keep us close in your prayers as we fly out Friday and
return on the 30th. Watch the
blog for pictures that will be posted along the way starting Friday through the
next week.
