Alright, I am in the single digits for days until I leave. It is all finally dawning on me and making me a tad nervous-- but so excited!
Just a little updating first. Please be in prayer for the evangelism team that is there right now. They have visited well over 100 schools and are having some awesome experiences. They are, however dealing with a lot of weather hinderances and would appreciate your prayers. As far as my trip goes, my itinerary is in order and I am getting close to reaching my financial needs. If you are able and interested in donating and haven't yet, please click on the link to right under "Support this trip" and it will direct you to BTEA's website where you can make a safe online donation. All donations are tax deductible.
For those of you who would like to stay in contact with me while I'm away, you can do so by leaving comments here (very encouraged!) or through Skype or email. My email while I am there is bekahgwen@gmail.com . If you use my old one I will not recieve it as I don't want to have to fish through junk mail. My Skype account is simply bekahgwen or you can just search my name (Rebekah Congdon). Skype will only be a rare occasion though, so you're better off with the other two options.
Thank you, thank you for your overwhelming love, support and friendship.

New Year Update
Hello, friends! Happy 2011! I hope your New Years and holiday time was blessed. I know mine was.
I am so thankful to God for all of you amazing people who are helping this opportunity become a reality. This time of raising support has proven to me again that I have an embarrassment of riches. I have been very humbled. With about 3 weeks before I leave (oh my!) I have nearly $4000 raised. A friend recently reminded me that "God pays for what he orders" and I am certainly seeing proof of that. Not only during this time, but my whole life is so richly blessed by being in the company of believers who love me and are faithful to Christ's calling. Thank you, thank you. I can never say it enough.

"So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
