Welcome to my Serbia page!
Here I will hopefully be able to post daily about the events from the trip. This will include where we're traveling, who we're meeting, and ultimately, what God's doing through our team there in Kraljevo.
Our flight is just around the corner! Our team will leave this upcoming Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. CST.
We're all super excited to get there and get started but we do have some things to take care of in Fort Worth first, primarily finishing summer school classes. My girlfriend, Shelby, and I are both in school right now trying to finish classes by this Monday. Both of my finals are Monday so I'll be focusing a lot on studying for those this weekend. Shelby is taking a chemistry course online that would end late July but because she's going to Serbia, she's doing all she can to finish the class early; she'll be taking her final on Monday as well.
This has left us a little anxious and we've done our best to stay calm and focus on one thing at a time, but we could definitely still use prayers to help us accomplish all we need to accomplish in the short amount of time before our trip. Please pray for peace, focus, and that we can give ourselves enough time to get everything ready to go for Serbia.
Also, please pray for the people in Serbia already, especially the locals we will be meeting over the course of our trip. We believe that God is intentional with who he sends and divinely brings people together to accomplish His plan. Pray that my team and I will be trusting in that plan, and willing to follow it, wherever that may lead. Pray that God will give is courage and a spirit like Paul explains to Timothy in 2 Tim. 1:7, "...for God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control."
Most of my entries will be written about my own experiences and the prayer requests will usually be ones for myself or the people I'm encountering personally. However, I will do my best to update for some of the other members in our group as well and will post stories and prayer requests from their experience as often as I can assuming I have time to do so.
Thank you for supporting this trip! Most of you reading have donated financially and I am so incredibly grateful for those gifts. Money gets us there, but prayer changes lives once we're there. Please join me over the next month in praying for me, my team, and the Serbs we'll meet, that their lives will be changed in an eternal way and that by our obedience to "Go and make disciples of all nations..." that those we meet will someday have disciples of their own.
More to come :) Thank you again for reading, and for your priceless support.

Dylan, I am either really losing my memory (very likely) or this was a recently planned trip. Whatever the case I am so proud of the godly man you are and are becoming. I know God has a wonderful plan for you and your group. How great to share it Shelby this year.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you and the ministry you have there and also for you and Shelby as you finish up your classes. It must be very difficult to finish an already shortened class. I will pray for knowledge and clarity of mind. "...who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us" Eph 3:20
Peace to you through these last day of preparation, and I look forward to hearing about your ministry adventures.
Love you,
Aunt Vanessa
