2019, Lesvos, Short Term Missions:

Lesvos April 2019: Travel Day

We have our checklists complete (or what was unfinished will be left so), our bags are packed and underweight, and we are driving to fly out of Detroit to start this first round of many short term trips to Greece. But more than the necessary physical preparations, our hearts and minds have been readied to serve the women and children that God has prepared even now. The prayers prayed over our team in person have been powerful and the prayers prayed in private have also been felt. It is time to be there.

We fly out of Detroit at 3:45pm and arrive in Frankfurt to have a short but long enough lay over to Athens. From Athens, we will fly to Lesvos island. We will arrive on Lesvos at 8:45am Friday April 26th, Michigan time. Please pray for safety and smooth transitions and for our weekend adjustment before we go into Moria refugee camp on Monday morning to be just right.

We pray too for our family and friends that we are leaving behind, that their days will be sweet as they too have adjustments to make in our absence. I (Laura) have left my young girls in good hands, and thankfully Tom helped save a pet dinosaur off the roof at Calvary, making the morning a little less sad for them. 😉

I hope to write again on Friday. Until then, God’s grace and peace to you.
