Off To China!!

Tomorrow morning I will be leaving for China. This is a three week trip with the YWAM base in Discovery Bay. I am of course very excited and look forward to trying and doing new things. Here is a picture of my team. I met Amanda (on the left) for the first time a few weeks ago and Becky (in the middle) I have more or less known of.
We will be staffing an international King's Kids conference in Hong Kong and then running a kids day camp. We hope to take some of the kids on their missions trip into China*. We will be working with many YWAM and King's Kids leaders to help develop new King's Kids teams and leaders in other parts of the world. I found a promo video for this conference but we will not be doing all of that.
We will be needing lots of prayer. If you could pray for...
~my amazing team of three that we will get along well and be able to use all of our talents and giftings, that we will be able to put all of our previous knowledge of how to do things to the side and be open to new ideas, and that this missions trip will be something new and different from all our other trips.
~the people coming to the conference and the families involved in the day camp. that God will call them and make a way for them to come.
~Safety! We all need safety especially since their are so many unknowns right now.
~blessing. we want to be a blessing to the families we will be staying with and a blessing to those coming to the comference/day camps.
I will try to update while I am there but don't check every day!
Thanks to everyone for all your support and encouragement! I am excited to come back and tell you all about it!

*Just for clarification, since Hong Kong was a British colony and was only released back to China about 10 years ago there are very westernized and do not require a visa to visit. BUT if you go out of the city into the rest of China, you do need a visa. Hong Kong has their own currency and allows some religious freedom (not like the US but more than the rest of China) which allows us to have the kids day camp and conference so public.
