3 weeks to go!

Well, I officially leave 3 weeks from today! I am so excited! I spoke with our team leader last week and found out that a few people won't be able to come on our trip, so our team is officially only going to be 8 people....so, it will be a smaller, more intimate group, but since we won't have as big of a team, that means....more work! So, that also means we'll need more prayer!

I can already feel myself getting a little more nervous about the trip...excited too, of course, but nervous because I feel more pressure in a smaller group to do my part in treating the people that come in to the clinic....basically, we are all going to be the "doctors" who diagnose the people and perscribe medicine or treat their medical problems...so, I'm praying that the year I spent working in the ER will help, but I have to confess that I feel incredibly inadequate...So, please pray that I will trust God to be my sufficiency and to lean on Him for wisdom and discernment in treating the people....also pray that He will continue to increase my faith...the need for faith has been a huge lesson God has been teaching me lately....I was recently studying the verse in Hebrews that states:



"And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)

Please pray that God will give me that faith and that I would be earnestly seeking Him as I prepare for this trip! Thank you for your prayers! I need them so much!

Hey Becca,
that is so awesome!!! I will definitely hold you in my prayers! AFRICA!! So amazing! Wow, what an experience. I will pray that you guys fill the need that needs to be filled there, and know how to treat them with their illnesses. God has blessed you with an amazing gift and knowledge, and now you can use that in such an amazing way! Don't be afraid, trust in Him, because if He is calling you to it, He will lead you through it!!!
Love,
Kari Schurbon:)
