Today's the day!

Well...much to my surprise I actually slept last night. Woke up early, but I at least slept pretty well.

If you didn't know, I'm flying off to Brazil today for a 10-day stint in and around Rio for a mission trip. Myself and a group of 21 other people will be holding worship services in different neighborhoods, churches, and even having a big concert on the beach on New Year's Eve. Turns out Brazil is a very spiritually oppressed country, with heavy influences of voodoo and other occult faiths holding a lot of sway, not to mention the social environment.

That being said, we're leaving from the Worship Center in Leola (just east of Lancaster) at about 12:30 today. Our flight takes off from JFK around 9:20pm (American Airlines flight #951). Any thoughts and prayers you give are greatly appreciated.

I'll be able to stay in touch by e-mail while there, and I have a blog set up for both myself and the rest of the group as well. Blogs are great because we can interact and have conversations about the trip and different posts I have made. Here's my contact info if you'd like to be in touch while I'm there:
