FEET Staff 2010

For the last month I have been getting ready for Feet to start. The program started on July 14th! All the participants are here and are all excited to begin! There are seven participants and five staff. There are six different nations represented! Tomasi from Fiji, Marcus and Daniel from Sweden, Sephora from Switzerland, Faylisha from England, Richelle from Holland, Natasha, Jessica, Phyllis, Arianna, Julie, and I are all from the states. Our welcome party was the night before, full of getting-to-know-you games and snacks! I am very excited about this team, they seem to be meshing well!

      Our first day went really well! Our schedule was full of orientations, registration, and teachings. That was only the first day! Our fun day out was a lot of fun too! This was to show them the city and how to use the transportation. We ate Dim Sum, the traditional Chinese breakfast, and lots of other fun things! Next week we will see what each person is good at, dance or drama. After that we all will start learning our part in each dance or drama.

          We have one month to the day here in Hong Kong. A very busy four weeks then we will start out on Aug. 14th for our outreach! The first country we go to is the Philippines! This will be for about two weeks. Then we fly back to hk (Hong Kong) to fly to Nepal! We will be there for about three an a half weeks. After that we head to India for three and a half weeks as well! Our last country to visit on feet will be to Vietnam for ten days! I have not yet been to Vietnam so I am very excited to see what their culture is like. The end of Oct we will be getting back to HK to finish up Feet around Nov. 1st.

Although there won’t be much time to rest because I will be leaving to Europe for a Communications team on Nov. 5th! Most of the Feet staff will be going plus a few more that are on staff here at the base. The countries we will visit in Europe are England, Belgium, and Germany in that order. Two weeks in England then one week each for the others, arriving back to HK on Dec. 4th. Some of you were asking how much this trip will be. The cost is going to be around $1500. This is a really good price for traveling around Europe from a month! I am not sure if this is including the airfare or not. I will let you know more details as I get them.
       As for Feet outreach, one of the places we are going, is back up in to the mountains in Jumla Nepal! This year I know more of what to expect then last time! I am very excited to go back and see what God has done in the villages we visited.
       This team seems to be very excited about outreach and are open to what God has planned for them! I am enjoying the people on this team and I believe that God is going to do amazing and wonderful things through them! WhooHoo!

Things to pray for: Unity in our team, Airline tickets to be available for all of us, and that I would continue to go deeper with God. Also pray that I would be thinking positively. Thanks everyone!
