Here are 12 of the 15 going to Honduras! We leave this Saturday!
- Jeremy Rees (bottom left)...a bff from ATL that I've known since I was....13-ish? He did a tour in Honduras when he was in the army, so he'll be really helpful getting around and hopefully still remembers some Spanish.
- Next to him is Casey Davidson and Amanda Epps. They are bf/gf...Amanda's mom does my job at the Dorchester County Habitat affiliate. She just graduated from CofC so this trip is sort of a graduation present.
- Next to them is Meredith Gerber (her husband Frederick is in back row upper left). Meredith has volunteer with Charleston Habitat for a while...I remember meeting her first about a year ago. She works at CofC as a counselor. Her husband Frederick is from South Africa (love his accent!) and does construction as a trade/job here, so I'm sure he'll be great!
- Next to Meredith is Nancy Roskam. Her and her daughter Amanda will be coming on the trip. Amanda lives in CA so none of us have met her yet. Nancy and her husband Craig live in Charleston from about October - April every year. They are both retired and live the other part of the year in Vermont. They both volunteer with us regularly while in town!
- Up next to Frederick in the back row, is Kathryn and Keri Jennings (sisters). They're both pretty new to Habitat but came out a couple times to help build with our most recent construction project, and this was just another way they wanted to help out was going on this trip. They both seem super-sweet and I'm excited to get to know them more!
- Then we have Bob Day in the middle back. Bob I would consider a good friend. He volunteers on our construction site every Thursday! He always makes me laugh and I love hanging with him and our Thursday Crew every week!
- Then, Rae Hunter, my sweet dear friend....she is part of our Thursday Crew as well. We'll be sharing a room together in Honduras...can't wait! She's one of those people I know would do anything for you!
- Then me!
- And to my right is Cindy Helton. Her and her husband John (not pictured) are coming on Sunday....they couldn't leave Saturday with us but we'll rendezvous (sp?) and join us soon! John has volunteered with us in Charleston with the Coast Guard for years. We're glad he's bringing Cindy along for this trip too!
- The only other person is Bill Buchanan from Atlanta. He's a good friend of Bob Day. Back in the day, they apparently worked and traveled around Guatemala (and maybe Honduras too)....but that was a looooong time ago...they're old! ;)
I started to post this cheesy video of me saying thanks so all of you who have supported and been praying for our team....but after watching it again.....just felt a little ridiculous posting it!
We take off Saturday morning for Honduras! Please continue to pray the Lord will use us to bless Him and all those we come in contact with!
Thank you and I love you all!!!!!
I am excited about your committment to share the love of God to the world. I pray God's Spirit go before you and establish divine appointments for you. I am praying Isaiah 42:16 - "I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them."; Isaiah 42:6 - "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness."; Colossians 4:3 - And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should."
