and here...we, go

Recently I saw a preview for the new Batman movie, the Dark Knight where the Joker says, "And here...we, go". That is exactly what I feel like tonight. I feel like we are about to embark on something explosive, exciting, and altogether thrilling.

Tonight we packed the cars and had a short time of prayer with parents and a few other adults who graced us with their presence. They were all a huge blessing as we prepare to leave bright and early tomorrow. We began by praying for a few things specifically. I will list them here for you so that you can pray for them as well.

- Travels: we're driving a long way on backroads (or small highways) tomorrow.
- Teenagers in Roundup: we long for God to soften their hearts
- Our teenagers: that they will share, and listen, well. That relationships will develop quickly and our students will have genuine opportunities to share from their heart.
- Adults in Roundup: we are going to be providing a short training for them. We want it to be impacting and fruitful. We want to see relationships built up between them and the students!
- Leadership: a trip like this takes a lot of decisions. We want to be wise with every choice we have to make.

Thanks for praying for us. We'll check in regularly from here on out.

in His grip,

Jared

Praying for you today! May the Lord bless you with safety on the drive. May He use the time in the vans/cars as a bonding time and a time to prepare the team for being bold! So excited to read and pray through the trip!
