It's Official! Planing Starts for 2009 Trip!

Yesterday there was a meeting to discuss the planing of the next trip. The meeting was made up of previous team members. We discussed travel dates for 2009. Right now it is looking like we will be heading out at the end of July leading into the beginning of August. There will be another planing meeting on November 2, 2008. I know it seems early, but this ministry takes a lot of work to lay out and get off the ground. Among the things discussed were travel dates, logistics, and the desire to incorporate more training to on the ground leaders that work with Juan. It is amazing to see people get passionate about a work.
