Last Night in Daytona

This is it. Last night in Daytona. Emotions awry. Today we rode our first training ride as a group, 24 miles. Tomorrow we head out at 9am to begin a 67 mile trek to St. Augustine.

Today was our last day with a lot of people that we've met in Daytona. After our ride we had a BBQ with some of those people, and it was quite a blessing. If you are reading this, thank you so much for all the help and support you have given us. Also to First Baptist Church, you all really encouraged us so thanks for that. And Willie, keep sporting that shirt we gave you!

For those of you who don't know...Willie was a homeless man who came and talked to us after we spoke to the First Baptist youth group. He wore nothing but a pair of pajama pants, but he encouraged us a lot with his words. We ended up giving him a She's My Sister shirt and he promised to wear it all around and tell people about the Congo. It's amazing who God has already brought into our path, and we are excited to see who else He might use.

Keep us in prayer. And if you're reading this, stop quickly and say a prayer for our sisters in the Congo.

As Gordon once said, "The east coast better hold onto its britches cause we comin through!"
