It's a Wrap!

We finished up training today at the second location. Since their were no interpretation needed, we got through almost 4 days of material in 2. The teachers at City of Refuge Church were amazing. They had great questions and participation.
Thank you for all of your prayers!

The City of Refuge

We served at The City of Refuge church today. They are a great group with inquisitive minds. We have one more day of training.
We met an international pastor from Ghana. They have churches in 90 countries. They came to a 1/2 day training and are interested in Fifty5five.
We also met with the director of Strong Hearts. He said he could connect 30 churches for training.
Everyone is healthy.

Sendafa

We had a great training program in Sendafa. Our program was extended from 3 days to 4 with the addition to Sharon teaching love and logic. The people were very responsive.

There were so many amazing experiences there. Here are a couple of highlights: we gave a workshop on worship. Linda sent them with an assignment to come back with a home made instrument. We've never seen such clever creations. Now add this to their already jaw dropping worship. Their worship was amazing. It often left some of us a puddle of tears. I felt so subdued and challenged in my own worship.
Everyone is healthy.

We start a two day training today. Please continue to pray to God be the glory.

London on the Run...Next Ethiopia

The Lord blessed us again.  We each got a couple of seats on the plane and got some rest to London.  Got to escape a couple of hours of our 9 hour layover to literally run through the city.  Boarding now for Ethiopia.

No Room at the Inn

Here is a more detailed update from Theresa regarding yesterday's events:

It's been a wild and crazy day. We had a traveler that had to go to the ER and will return home. Juli is such a trooper; she wants to continue on but can't. We had to divide and conquer to get Juli her back pack, collect luggage, and passports. Needless to say we missed our flight. We worked for hours to try and get our flights changed both in person and by phone. We were told numerous times our flights were canceled. After hours we had decided it would be too expensive to repurchase tickets and decided to fly back or rent a car because we've only made it to Vancouver. God showed off and 7 hours after we arrived we finally got tickets. We then began to look for a room as we are flying out tomorrow night (5/28/16). However, there is a convention and no rooms. so at midnight we are settling into some chairs for the night. 

Prayer update from Vancouver

Update from Theresa: After 7 hours of being told we could not fly, this very patient gentleman finally got us a flight out of Vancouver tomorrow.

Prayer

Please pray for one of our team members that got sick on the flight and had to go to the ER.  Prayer for healing for her and safe travels for her husband who will be flying to Vancouver.  Of lesser importance, please pray also that we can retrieve our luggage and make another flight.
