I am beyond blessed and excited that the trip's fundraising goals have not only been met, but exceeded!! I am constantly reminded that God provides above all we could ever ask or think, Ephesians 3:20, 21 (AMP) "Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen." I am frequently asked about the trip, and although we haven’t set foot on Grecian soil yet, the stories of your generous giving and demonstrations of love have made an impact in people’s lives.

In 2 months from today, we take flight! A couple of weeks ago, our trip leaders were in Greece, visiting the camps, scoping out resources and meeting with those we are partnering with on the ground. Our team has been meeting via phone/video every couple of weeks for training and updates. We will be meeting specifically for the medical team in a couple of weeks, I will have a better idea of the medical needs and supplies. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

I will continue to keep each of you in prayer as well. I pray God’s blessing and favor is over you. Luke 3:38 (NIV) tells of such a promise, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

With Love, Ariel
