Someday IS Today

Nathan leaves TODAY on a church-sponsored missions venture to Brazil.  The motto of this short-term missions program is SOMEDAY IS TODAY.  And it is really TODAY!

Nathan’s team of 18, along with two other short-term missions teams, were commissioned on Sunday, July 24th. 

His team leaves Northland Church by bus at 11:59 pm tonight (Friday).  They fly from Miami to Manaus, Brazil on Saturday morning.

Thanks to all who gave toward his trip expenses.  Interestingly, the total cost of the trip per team member ended up being $124 over the initial fee. Thanks to your generosity, there was overage in Nathan’s account of $125.  Is that cool, or what? 

A special thanks as well to those who gave towards Nathan’s out-of-pocket expenses.  That covered:

• • Shots  (over $200)
• • Tee-shirts and shorts (most  of which Nathan will leave for new Brazilian friends)
• • A guitar (Nathan found a lovely-sounding Yamaha on Craig’s List, very inexpensive.)
• • A journal to record his journey and what he learns
• • Spending money

Pray for good travel, for bonding with the team, and for wonderful ministry opportunities on the boat and in villages along the river.
