Hey guys,

 Hope all of your goodbyes, prayers and preparations are in high gear as you come so close to launching into this adventure with Jesus and your new team.
 I love doing this kind of ministry and I am truly blessed and excited to do life with you guys (and gals) and meet beautiful Nicaraguan people.

 There is some thing I wanted you all to be aware of before we get any further along....
                             I will not be at your training camp this June.

I am actually headed to Nicaragua a week early and will be meeting with the ministry hosts there before you arrive.
I SO WISH I WAS GOING TO BE WITH YOU, but circumstances a little out of my control have changed things and I do believe God's own purposes are being served.

However Patrice will be there to walk with you and get things started and she is a rock star in whom I have all reason to have great confidence, so there are absolutely no worries for anyone there.

 Just so you know....
I will say that for myself as a leader (and a past participant on a nine month AIM trip), TRAINING CAMP and the importance of how it is designed to prepare you, (NOT prepare for everything you will encounter but rather for your hearts, minds and Spirits to be ready to receive everything God has for you) cannot be understated.

 PLEASE ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS AND RECEIVE, I REPEAT, RECEIVE EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU AT CAMP WITH HUMILITY AND REVERENCE AND GLADNESS!

 Those who will be equipping, instructing and teaching you have been ordained by God Himself  to do so and they know what they are doing and do have your (and God's) mission at the center of there hearts.

 Sorry again I can not be there,
 any questions or desire to chat my number is 678-270-6968

 Thanks all,
 Blair.
