I never thought I would do this many but here I am about to start the fourth one! This past month has been busy with preparing for FEET and also working on the base for the normal things that go on like going to town to get the food. Feet starts on Wed. the 13th. At the moment we have five girls and one guy. We are still praying for more people to come (mainly guys) because we know God has more that are supposed to be here. Why do we need guys, you ask. Well the reason is that it brings more security to the team. The sound system we carry with us through all this is heavy and would be better for a strong guy to handle. There is also one of the main issues, we need someone to play the part of Jesus in our dramas. Most of our dramas need two guys instead of one. Why are there so few guys? That is a question that is asked through out the mission field. There are more girls then guys that go to the mission field as well as in the church I have found. All the years I have gone to camp, same thing. I am not sure the reason why for the church and for camp but for the mission field some believe it is because men don't like to rely on someone else to get their money. They would rather have a stable job then trusting in God. This is understandable, but when it comes to the mission field, you have to learn to trust God to provide. Something the Feet staff are having to do right now.
There are three FEET staff this year. Phyllis, Arianna, and I. In that order. I am the one who is looking after the rest of the team so that the others can lead. I prefer this job, It is more what I am good at. I can lead but only when I have to, at this point in time. This year we are going to four nations.
Thailand, Cambodia, India, and the one up north that I can't say the name to. I have never been to Cambodia before! I am excited to see what God has for us there. I also have not been up north since 2008! I am looking forward to returning! Right now was are preparing dramas and dances, trying to get them worked out before we teach them. I need to prepare a few teachings, one that will need to be ready this next week when It starts. I should get one that... maybe tomorrow! :)
That is it for now. Please be praying for our prep time and for at least one more guy to come.
Thanks
Brit
