Prayer Support and preparations

It's nearing mid December already, which means my departure date is coming soon! In about three weeks I leave for a 5 month stay in Costa Rica where I will rejoin YWAM as a volunteer staff member. I'm so very excited to see what God has in store for us all during the upcoming months...I know it's much more than I could even imagine at this point. I've been receiving some info through the grapevine as to what this group of students will be like, and I figured that since I've been praying with these specifics in mind, I should include you in on them as well- that way you can prayerfully support me as I (and many others) prepare to leave in a few weeks.

What I know:

-Big group of students! More than twenty already accepted into the discipleship training school, and nine staff. (My group was 13 students and 5 staff, so this is a large group in comparison!)

-Students from all over the globe

-A few married couples as students (very exciting!)

As you can imagine, I could use prayer for a few other things as I get ready to leave:

-Finances (still gathering support and trusting God will provide)

-Leaving Les Femmes (I am sad to go but hoping to bring some of Les Femmes to Costa Rica!)

-Saying goodbye to friends and family (though it's an exciting transition, it's always hard to say goodbye for a long period of time)

Thanks for the support and encouragement. I will post again as the new year begins!
