Key leaders of 'Team Cali' departed earlier today from Dallas. While Matt and I will travel from Dallas to Colombia on Saturday (with the remainder of the group of 30), pre-campaign training in Cali will be in fourth gear on the ground involving our church leaders.
Our escort on the mission trip is again Dallas-based E3 Partners, which manages building churches through similar short-term mission trips around the globe. Sam Ingrassia with E3 Partners has been leading groups into Colombia for more than 15 years, but this is his first with E3's new national director for Colombia, Luis Diaz.
You can expect Matt and I to talk about Sam's impact on us every morning at breakfast, as well as his wife, Vicki, who will provide an inspirational start to every morning with prayer at 6 AM. Sam and Vicki are also members of Firewheel Church.
Our prayer for today is Ephesians 5:15-21.
Are we ready for the journey? Matt has spent the past several days in New York on business. I have been traveling throughout Texas for much of the past week closing business to allow for a week separated from it for the first time since ... well, my last trip to Colombia, in 2008.
