Man, We’re excited! We’re pumped!  We’re psyched!  We’re fired up! We’re full of anticipation!  We’re ready to feel God, touch God and see Him reveal His Will for this trip!  We’re ready to see Jesus heal the sick, see Jesus cast out demons, see Jesus move and to see Jesus’ power unleashed on the people of Brazil.  We’re ready to see the Book of Acts played out before our very eyes.  We’re ready to be stretched spiritually, to grow spiritually and experience spiritual awakenings. We’re ready to feed the poor and clothe the poor.  We’re ready to see our close friends in Brazil, to hug them, to sit with them and talk with them and tell them how much we’ve missed them.  We’re ready to see all the children from Children’s Church singing and dancing and smiling because they are full of Christ.  We’re ready to worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ from the Grace Refuge Church in Fortaleza. We’re ready to be used by God and to be His Arms and Feet!  We’re ready to hear and see lost souls say the name of Jesus, to hear His Truth, to seek His Word, to seek His forgiveness, to accept His Gift of Salvation, to become our brothers and sisters in Christ, to be baptized, to be newly created and filled with the Power of Christ.  We’re just….ready! 

So, why are we so excited and so “ready”?  We just got back from Wilmington, North Carolina last night after meeting with the team of Gospel for Brazil missionaries going to Fortaleza and Ubauna from July 9th through July 18th.  We got to see everyone but Jessica (we already know her but missed her anyway) and spend time just being a group of disciples on the verge of an awesome adventure.  We can’t wait to go flying down the airways and highways of Brazil with this bunch of Jesus Freaks that are seeking God and obeying His call to fulfill the Great Commission.
