Only one day left...

Until Greg's Cuba trip! For those who may not know, Greg is taking a group of about 20 youth and leaders down to Cuba for two weeks on a mission trip. They will be visiting and encouraging local churches, attending a youth pastor's conference, and helping the Cuban church wherever and however they can. This has been a huge endeavour: they have been fundraising and preparing all year, and now the trip is almost here! They will be leaving Grande Prairie at 7:50pm tomorrow, arriving in Havana on Friday morning.

The team would really appreciate you praying for them as they are away over the next two weeks - Greg's prepared a prayer calendar to give people some ideas of what they will be doing during the trip and what to pray for, you can find it here: http://www.geocities.com/beaverlodgeclarks/home.html (click on the link).

As well, the team will be going through customs in Cuba at 11:45am Mountain Time on Friday. The customs agents have the power to confiscate almost whatever they want from the materials the team is bringing down, and could make the border crossing very stressful. The missionary who is accompanying the group has seen time and time again his groups get through customs with little to no hassle when they have people at home praying for them as they are going through. Please pray at 11:45am on Friday for our team as they are going through Customs!

I'm not sure if Greg will be able to call/email home while he's away, but if I do hear from him, I'll be sure to post his updates here as well!
