I Can Not Describe

I can not even begin to describe how incredible this trip back to Austin was for me. It was absolutely blessed from the moment I arrived to the moment I left to Mexico. My soul was refreshed and inspired by being around every one of you all and it was just what I needed. There are so many things that God revealed to me this weekend I could write for pages and pages about them, but I will share them over a period of time. One thing that I do want to share that is very hard for me to articulate was the response of my Mexico outreach team when I got back. My team consists of seven girls and two guys (pray for me) and we represent four nations (United States, Mexico, Egypt, and El Salvador.) These last few weeks have been intense for the entire school because of passport complications and support that is needed for all three teams (China, Mexico, and Australia.) Part of my trip back was in hopes that I could help raise some finances to meet our needs. I had just a little bit of news for them last Monday for our meeting. I casually informed them that our entire need to send our team was met through one gift. A one hour meeting went on to become a two and half hour meeting with much crying, shock, disbelief, and praise. There is no way that I could recreate that moment if I tried and I found myself in tears because of this generosity and God’s faithfulness. Many of us were becoming challenged with despair since deadlines were approaching, especially my Mexican team-mates (it is tough to raise money in Mexico.) This trip was not only a blessing for me but for many. We are getting ready because in three weeks we will be heading out to Guadalajara for a month, then Chiapas, and finally Mexico City. Our plan is to split up the time between city life (Guad/Mexico City) and indigenous life (Chiapas). Please be praying for vision as we are meeting and praying about how to uniquely impact these cultures and people groups. God has given me a couple of visions for Guadalajara and Mexico City that I have shard with the group. I will give you all details about this later this week after we meet and begin to put wheels on this idea. Thank you all so much for making this dream a reality and I look forward to updating you on how God is going to use us in transformational ways for this outreach. School, community, and Mazatlan have been good but the miraculous is yet to come.
