Well, today is the big day. Today is the day that all of the stateside teams hit the road. The annual send-off meeting went off without a hitch. Everyone gathered at the steps of Temple Baptist Church for a final word from Mr. Ylitalo and for the last of the group pictures. Emotions ran high as everyone said their goodbyes and wished their fellow pioneers safe travels and fair weather. We all departed after one last prayer.
All that was left was the road.
We were on our way, heading toward Tarboro, NC, by 10:30 am. Traffic was thick, considering it was a national holiday. The weather was a little odd. We would have calm sessions of sunshine, and without warning, hit rain so thick you couldn't see past your bumper! Nonetheless, God gave us a great blessing of safety and we arrived in one piece at the pastor's home.
Pray for us, this week, that God will bless the services and our service here in Tarboro. Below, there are a few pictures posted of our departure. Thanks for checking in!
Your brothers in Christ,
-Matt and Joel
Here's a good one of Team Northeast, ready to hit the road.
Every team signed Mr. Ylitalo's Bible before they left. We're praying for you, Chief!
