I can't believe it's here...

I leave TOMORROW morning. Unbelievable. These past two week have been an absolute whirlwind with tests, events, retreats, meetings, and no sleep. And now I'm leaving the country in less than 24hrs. WHHHAAATTT????
Oh, and by the way...... I'M FULLLLYYY FUNDED!!!!!! I turned in my last checks yesterday! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who gave and to all who prayed for my finances. Being fully funded further confirms my purpose on this trip.
A few prayer requests:

• Safe travels
• Good health
• Team unity
• Prepared hearts and minds for those going and for those we will reach
• Divine appointments
• God-perfected schedules while we are down there
• Packing tonight... I haven't started
• Continued financial support for others on the trip (If you still want to give or would like to give again, you can take a check to the Trinity Church offices with Bogota in the memo line)

That's all I can think of right now. I hope my blog to update regularly. No promises.
Also, a verse God has given me for this trip is Isaiah 61:1. Please claim this with me:
"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
   because the LORD has anointed me
   to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
   to proclaim freedom for the captives
   and release from darkness for the prisoners."

Love you all!!! I can't wait to share all about what God is doing in the hearts and lives of all involved. Thanks for reading and believing with me. - Elisabeth

19 days and counting!!

19 days until I leave!!! I cannot believe it's so close! 
The day after I posted the last blog which you can read here, I received $400 dollars in the mail!!! I am currently over 75% funded!! I knew if I approached God with trust and expectancy, He, in His everlasting faithfulness, would act on my behalf. Any doubt that I shouldn't go on the trip was instantly erased. Now I know for sure that God has so much in store for me in Bogota. 
Prayer Requests:

• Continued financial support not only for me but for all others raising support
• Favor in my schoolwork with my professors
• Prepare our hearts and minds for the things we will see and the people we will encounter
• Wisdom for all the leaders in planning and preparation
• Health and safety before and during the trip
• Unity in the teams

Thanks for reading and believing with me!! - Elisabeth
