"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecclesiastes 4:12

Last night, Jamie shared a devotion with us about community. It spoke of such things as endurance and fortitude, like a cord, describing the fellowship of the people of God. This reminded me of the scripture in Ecclesiastes. No doubt, as our team has met, studied, prayed and prepared for our journey to Bosnia, over the last couple of months, we have begun to richly experience this community in Christ. But, our team and our Savior are only two strands of this cord. Let us introduce you to the third strand . . . The precious members of the Evangelical Church of Capljina, for whom we welcome you all to pray. It is with humble hearts that we dedicate this trip . . .

Kathy, this also reminds of on of my favorite passages, that came from a Bible study we did together!
Hosea 11:4 "I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them."
You and your group will BE those cords of human kindness. I pray that during your trip God will lift the yoke from your neck (it's heavy, I know) and feed you, spiritually and emotionally. You will be covered in prayer during your trip.
