The Team

I cannot describe in detail the experiences the others are having, but there are some great stories to tell. I'll give a quick summary by way of introducing our team members, which I should have done earlier.

Lee is our walking GPS. He has us well trained in how to get around the city. His ability to quickly learn the transit system has allowed him opportunities to speak and share with people as we travel.

Vickie has become a pin trading machine and she uses it to springboard right into where people are spiritually. She has yet to meet a stranger.

Christy has a great casual way of talking to people that opens more doors than she realizes. The great thing is that she steps right through without hesitation.

Marie is a senior in college who is bound for foreign missions and has used her personality to draw attention from the locals and start some great conversations.

George also uses pins to connect with people and he has a way of making you feel you’re being invited to talk a while.

We have all used our southern accents to get into conversations with people. Well, almost all of us. It works "ya'll." While we're in a group people will guess we're from Texas or Georgia or Alabama. I have had people guess I am from all over the map! From a local Vancouverite to a Brit to a New Englander and on a few occasions a correct southeastern US guess.

I still need to blog about the amazing service we experienced at church on Sunday. It was neat to wake up and already be at church for worship! I'll see if I can get some of the team to share a story from the trip. It has been amazing. Keep praying for all the volunteers, More than Gold as they ready to welcome a new wave of teams and for what God is doing in Vancouver. He is doing things we have yet to fully recognize.
