we're off to DTS outreach...

“Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies themselves send down showers? No, it is You, O Lord our God. Therefore our hope is in You, for You are the One who does all this.” Jeremiah 14:22

Outreach THE PLAN: 9 weeks --> 5 weeks in Kobuleti --> 4 weeks in Etseri

Our seven person team will head out on May 22nd. We will take the over-night train to Kobuleti, a city on the Black Sea. We’ve made connections with local pastors who are eager to have us there to serve with them. We desire to go to the surrounding villages and reach people there. Build relationships. Enjoy who God created them to be. And shine the light of God’s love and truth. The Western part of Georgia, including Kobuleti has a large Georgian Muslim population. We are planning to stay in this region for 5 weeks. Please pray for our work in Kobuleti. For our team to find unity and learn how to work together effectively (since it’s the first part of outreach, we will be learning a lot about our group dynamics).

After Kobuleti, we will head to the Svaneti region, which is in the Caucasus Mountains. We will be based in a village named Etseri for 4 weeks, and will partner with local Operation Mobilization workers there. We have many opportunities to work with children, to do practical work (helping villagers in their fields), and also to shine the light of God’s love and truth there. The Svaneti region is full of orthodox Christianity, but is mixed with many pagan traditions (animal sacrificing, festivals, idols). Please pray for our work in Etseri.

Please pray for me as a leader, for our two other staff (Maia & Mindia), for our students to grow and be DISCIPLED!! And please pray for unity for our group!
