There are just 3 more days before my departure for Moldova with a team of 9 others for our
CERI mission trip of 2012. I have just composed the following letter to this dear team. I share it here so that others may join in prayer for us during our week together with the special children and adults God will gather at the camp where we will hang out for a week outside Chisinau, the capitol of Moldova.
Dear Team Moldova 2012,
As our final days before departure are flying by, my heart
is full of gratitude that the trip I am about to take will be done with a team
of people whom God has called together for this occasion. I am really
looking forward to the time we will all be together around the dining table in
Chisinau for our first moments as a complete team. I feel very confident that we will bond quickly and be godly
servants who show love, encouragement and support for each team member.
These Bible verses have been meaning much to me lately:
Isaiah 12: 2-5
Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord, is my strength
And my song:
He has become my salvation.
With joy you will draw water
From the wells of salvation.
In that day you will say:
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;
Make known among the nations
What he has done,
And proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing to the Lord, for he has done
Glorious things;
Let this be known to all the world.
Psalm 86:9
All the nations you have made
Will come and worship before you,
O Lord;
They will bring glory to your name.
I know that each of you is busy packing and finalizing all
details of your preparation for this trip. I’m trusting that the Lord
will guide and provide for each of us.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or
comments.
With Hope in God’s Strength and Faithfulness,
Linda L. Worden
