So the last few weeks at our church, Venture has been offering a short term mission trip to Kiel, Germany to assist in the rebuilding/reading of the Logos Hope ship for ministry work.

Well this has really excited me (Jon). Normally I would chalk this up to a "That would be fun" moment but after Sunday's service, I felt like I should pick up the flier to find out more. Well it turns out to be 10 days and $900. The cost includes airfare, insurance, food and lodging (you live and work on the boat). Now I have not officially signed up, but would love to ask if all you blog readers would pray for Sara and I. I'd really like to go. I think this is right up my ally with hands on projects in renovations including even opportunities to work with the engine groups or builders or whatever. I've had a desire over the years to find a mission trip or something I could be involved in with my skill sets. So far, helping others go has been God's plan. Is this my time to Go, don't know. But if you blog readers could pray that God makes it really clear whether to this is the time, I would really appreciate it. Please pray for us that God will make it clear that I should go. That my Job will be understanding and that my projects at work will slow down during the time I'd be away. That Sara and the kids will be safe. That all of the financial needs would be taken care of. Its hard to think of leaving my family for any length of time (can you tell I don't travel for work) but at the same time I'm feeling a little like this might be a place where one of my kids could be involved in furthering the message of Jesus Christ. That excites me to no end. Please let me know if you will pray for this opportunity in the comments section or via email at brainfrz at sbcglobal dot com
