Friends and family,
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support–and thank you to everyone who posted on this blog. It was a joy to read everyones thoughts throughout the week. It was truly an amazing experience to be a part of this team and take on this extraordinary adventure to a new land. We were blessed with great weather, good health, and a great guide to help us through the week. I couldn’t have imagined a trip to go as well as it did. Thinking back on it now, I realize how blessed we were and how God was with us the entire time.
Before we left on Sunday, my dad hugged me and said to me, “Just remember, Immanuel.” He asked me if I knew what it meant. I did. “God is with us.” How amazing it is to know that God was behind us the entire time, helping us through the week, inspiring us to do good and to make a difference in people’s lives. There was never a point at which I felt unsafe, for I knew that God was protecting our team.
I encourage everyone to keep up the prayers for the girls at the Rapha House and the children at Kid’s club. If you could see their sweet faces, you would see the joy in their eyes, the hope in their smiles, and you would know that God is protecting them.
God Bless you all 
Jessica
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brehtren. Morever whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:28-31
I will always be praying for Rapha House; when I pray, they are always on my list.
God Bless you, all of you!
